Samsung intros 'smallest ever' color laser printers

We don't normally get too excited about printers, but when a company claims to have introduced the "smallest ever" of anything, our ears prick up. Apparently, the Korean electronics-maker has distilled color laser printers into their purest, tiniest form with the CLP-315K and CLX-3175FNK, clocking in at 20- and 40-percent smaller than previous iterations, respectively. The printers still sport fancy-pants features, like printing at up to 2,400 x 600 dpi, 32MB of onboard memory, and -- at least on the CLX-3175FNK -- the ability to print from a USB key. No word on price or availability, or if these will see the light of day in the States.

[rock99rock @ Apr 29th 2008 10:43AM]

Like, "Whats up with the '80s prom dresses?"

[OneLove @ Apr 29th 2008 10:45AM]

[Galley @ Apr 29th 2008 11:33AM]

There's more photos of the lovely ladies on another popular gadget blog. Yeah, you know the one. You really need to check it out, because the one in the red is gorgeous!

[Jay @ Apr 29th 2008 11:49AM]

The bluepill looks like she could be on Todd Sweeny

[The 3rd Hot Dog @ Apr 29th 2008 1:05PM]

Ladyboy?

[Kaminix @ Apr 29th 2008 1:09PM]

More like 'red pill or the living dead?', I'd say.

[MeatyPi @ Apr 29th 2008 1:37PM]

anyone else wondering how Sun from lost got off the island to do this ad?

[cromas @ Apr 29th 2008 8:52PM]

No, because neither of these girls looks anything like Sun.

[Ghen @ Apr 30th 2008 3:17PM]

That's not a model, that's a man, baby! yeah.

[prateeko @ Apr 29th 2008 10:39AM]

See, size isn't everything.

...Wait a minute.

[riggs @ Apr 29th 2008 10:40AM]

[Mark @ Apr 29th 2008 10:40AM]

ehh. I'm not impressed ... they should have got the models from the cell phone division.

samsung cell phone models > samsung printer models

[Oliver @ Apr 29th 2008 10:40AM]

would you like to take the red pill or the blue pill?

[OneLove @ Apr 29th 2008 10:46AM]

[skyward03 @ Apr 29th 2008 10:41AM]

WOW great picture.. I can hardly notices the printer.

[Homeboy @ Apr 29th 2008 11:08AM]

If you saw printers in that picture you were clearly not paying enough attention.


As a HD-DVD camp supporter I'd take the red one together with a copy of Transformers.

[k4j3 @ Apr 29th 2008 10:42AM]

I prefer the red one ;)

[Mike @ Apr 29th 2008 10:46AM]

Red is definetly better

[Adoniteking @ Apr 29th 2008 11:16AM]

The girl in blue looks more like a wo--manikin

[Chaj @ Apr 29th 2008 11:25AM]

Obiviously the one in the Red... I'd love to put my _______ inside her ______. Fill in the blanks. (Toner, Printer)

[gabe @ Apr 29th 2008 10:46AM]

"Oh she's beautiful. What does she do son?"

"She's a Printer Model...(head low in shame)"

[AlexL @ Apr 29th 2008 10:51AM]

Samsung Engineer: ok, we just finished this product. How shall we present it?
Samsung Marketing Rep: what do you mean, "how"? Get some models standing behind it, dummy.

[stefan @ Apr 29th 2008 10:59AM]

They let engineers talk to models? Poor engineers.... poor models...

[Brian @ Apr 29th 2008 12:09PM]

No, the marketing reps talk to the models...

[bartoron @ Apr 29th 2008 10:54AM]

I don't care how small it is if it isn't affordable.

[maff @ Apr 29th 2008 12:10PM]

we don't care what you care for

[aptmunich @ Apr 29th 2008 4:29PM]

The previous generation went for around €180... I picked it up for €130 after a €50 rebate...

[i.c. weiner @ Apr 29th 2008 4:39PM]

we don't care that you don't care for what we care for

[NHAnimator @ Apr 29th 2008 10:55AM]

WARNING: NON-MODEL COMMENT

Brick backdrop? What were they thinking?

[ED @ Apr 29th 2008 7:18PM]

I didn't even notice the bricks until reading your comment.

[d0n0van @ Apr 29th 2008 10:57AM]

... how much for the little girl? the women? I want to buy the women ...

[farfisa @ Apr 29th 2008 10:59AM]

Sorry, I don't think they're coming stateside.

[farfisa @ Apr 29th 2008 11:00AM]

I meant the women.

[george @ Apr 29th 2008 11:13AM]

[eminem213486 @ Apr 29th 2008 12:32PM]

[Vivian Taibi @ Apr 29th 2008 11:06AM]

Is this really news? Vivian Taibi

[mattclarkie @ Apr 29th 2008 11:06AM]

I wish I was one of those printers.

[guchdog @ Apr 29th 2008 11:18AM]

I rather be the table.

[whatphone @ Apr 29th 2008 11:07AM]

I'd like to do the unboxing spread of the red model ... printer... aeh...

[hwoarang27 @ Apr 29th 2008 11:10AM]

"our ears pricked up"

Butthead laugh huhuhuhhhuhhh

[Langdon Alger @ Apr 29th 2008 11:29AM]

I think Joshua was trying to be witty ... "smallest ever" followed by "prick up". Hopefully it wasn't a Freudian slip! :-o If it was, lucky for him, these girls are rather petite.

[Craig K @ Apr 29th 2008 11:16AM]

Really? This is just about exciting as the announcement of the smallest 500W power supply.

[slarity @ Apr 29th 2008 11:23AM]

lol love the model comments

The red one is def better, blue scares me

LOL has a printer ever gotten this much comment attention?

[webon @ Apr 29th 2008 11:31AM]

What? those ain't small at all

[webon @ Apr 29th 2008 11:32AM]

ooooh LASER, now I get it... my bad

[Ricardo @ Apr 29th 2008 11:42AM]

Hmm... why would anyone put two printers in front of the best part of the picture?

[Bakari @ Apr 29th 2008 11:44AM]

I'll take both, thank you very much.

Anyway's the printers seem alright. It's hard to get excited over a box that spits out colored paper.

[Eric @ Apr 29th 2008 11:52AM]

What printers?

dOnOvan: LOL, great movie reference...

[Steffen Jobbs @ Apr 29th 2008 12:01PM]

What printers? Are there printers in that picture? Those printers must very tiny because I don't see them.
