It is created by Samsung and it is a Samsung CLP-315W color laser printer. This printer has 3 stars and a half on the Amazon site. The price of the printer is of $230. The weight of it is of 30.6 pounds. Now, let’s see the dimensions, to see if indeed this is a small printer: 12.3×15.3×9.6 inches. The shipping weight will be of 31 pounds. I am surprised to see that from 30.6 to 31 is the weight of the package that will protect the printer when it will be transported to your location.

This printer can fit in any small place and it will provide a high quality. You will not feel stressed by the fact that you took a small printer, that is not capable of printing the sheets of paper as you wanted them. The printer is not only performant, but it is also elegant. The Samsung team has developed a print engine that is enhanced with the NO NOIS feature. This means that it will not issue too many sounds when printing. The toner cartridges are simple to replace. If you don’t know how to do this or if you never had a printer, you can learn how to replace a Samsung printer cartridge from the Internet or from the user’s manual.

The printer will be perfect for any place in your house, even for the bookshelf. If you want to use it in an ergonomic way, it would be great if you would place it  somewhere next to a wall, just make sure the air circulates next to it. Currently, this item can be shipped from Amazon only on the territory of the United States.

But, like any other computer device, it came with some problems. Among them was the refill. After several prints, the cartridge had to be refilled for new printing. Some were very easy to refill because you could just remove the old cartridge and put a new one back in. The problem is that they were small and they ran out of ink very quickly and a new one had to be bought.

Not everyone could afford that because they were expensive and for several prints you had to do many refills. Of course, those who used it very often had to have it so this was not an issue. Nowadays, black and white printers are very popular because they are cheaper and almost anyone has one at home. That is because, compared to a color printer, is much cheaper and much easier to refill the cartridges.

It is very easy to refill it. You just remove the old cartridge and add a new one or, in case you do not know how to do that, you go to a specialist and he will refill it for you. It is not that expensive and generally it is a good idea to leave it to the professionals because otherwise you could damage the cartridge or perhaps the entire printer and you certainly do not want that.

The computers and laptop computers are not used only for doing your job but they are also a form of entertainment for kids and students and why not, for all the people of all ages. Their popularity is so outstanding that even in the poor economical regions of the world the population still has access to the internet, on their personal mobile phones or computers. Students find it easy to deal with their homework and have direct access to any kind of information by a simple click.

What makes the laptop computers so great, even if like all the other gadgets they have their own problems of functioning, is the fact that they are portable so you can basically have access to information anytime and anywhere in almost all conditions.

Just like for all the other small informational gadgets, the laptops or netbooks and the portable laptop printers small in size are sold at higher prices because a reduction in size means small features and a reduced power but also an increased interest for them because of their portability and easy handling. Fortunately, the offers have increased so the manufacturers had to reduce the prices to maintain their economical incomes at a high level.

The largest worldwide producers of printers and small portable laptop printers are Canon, Epson and Hewlett Packard (EP) but companies such as Sony, Samsung, Seiko, Kodak are trying to surpass them by implementing new technological discoveries and selling their products at small prices.

There are two different types of printers for the laptops: the wireless models by using a wireless USB adapter in the laptop or the latest Bluetooth technology which allows the safe transfer of information because of the build-in security or the small portable printers linked to the laptop with cables. For the wireless type you will need an Ethernet port and a wireless router.

When choosing the laptop and the best small portable printer for that laptop, there are some important things you should seriously consider before actually buying them: first you need to gather as much information as you can about the features such as the weight, the size, what is the battery life when the laptop is used with all its functions and with devices such as a printer or a scanner. The small printers can print only in grey scale or in color.

Also, there are two types of printing methods: the inkjet printing and the laser printing. You should also know something about the laptops components such as the RAM or the laptop memory, the Hard Drives which depending on the laptop they are either IDE or SATA, the VGA board, the LCD screen and the battery back and the AC power cord which are the main power sources for the laptops.

You should have a general idea about these components because they are necessary when searching for the right computer that fits your needs, especially when you know that you will be traveling a lot and you have to have the best of the best among laptop computers.

Not only the internal body of the computer is important but also its design. Most customers want a personalized skin for their laptops and scanner or printers and the main reasons are two: one, because they want their gadget or laptop to look different from all the other mass produced laptops and second, when traveling, the personalized skin of your personal gadget make it easily recognizable, especially in situations when your personal belongings are stolen from airports, train stations or other social and crowded places.

The laptop computers can be carried in special water resistant backpacks perfect for long travels; these bags have more storage room than a regular carrier. Another important laptop accessory is the portable desk stands for eye-level reading.

The best thing about the Wasabi PZ310 mobile printer is clearly the design. As you first look at it, you may be somewhat puzzled and ask yourself what this device is. It might be an MP3 player, or perhaps an external hard drive. After some serious thought you’ll finally discover that the transparent plastic rectangle with faux-chrome accents is in fact a printer. It comes in black, blue or pink.

The Wasabi PZ310 is one of the few printers on the market that use no ink. This is because they use the ZINK tehnology (aka Zero Ink) to produce photographs. Another such printer is the PoGo, offered by Polaroid. The deal with these printers is that, compared to other portable photo printers, they are much smaller (which means that you could potentially carry one in your pocked the whole time) and they’ll require about 60 seconds for the user to take a picture and print it out on paper.

That’s pretty amazing, especially in these times when people want everything done asap, even if their life clearly does not depend on it. As the Pogo, this small photo printer also offers printing through PictBridge or Bluetooth and needs to be connected to a compatible digital camera or mobile phone. What the PoGo doesn’t offer though (at least to our knowledge so far) is the ability of cooperating properly with a computer. Since Dell is a company who manufactures laptops – even though the Wasabi didn’t work brilliantly upon release – they are seriously working on providing good drivers for every available operating system. It’s true that it only works connected through Bluetooth, but if you must use it with a computer, you’ll be pleased to know that it at least works that way.

Something users may not like is that the Wasabi PZ310 limits you to 2 by 3 inch prints, as if 4 by 6 wasn’t already too small for some people. But then again, this is the only way manufacturers can keep a printer measuring 0.9 by 4.8 by 2.9 inches and weighing 8 ounces. Zink technology (no ink used at all) works in a rather bizarre way.

The technology embeds dye crystals in the actual photo paper and with the help of heat produced by the printhead in the Wasabi, it activates the color in those crystals. Because there’s no need for ink cartridges, making the printer work is extremely simple. You just open the input tray cover, insert the paper and start the printer. And the most important thing is, this is new technology and the design of the printer is great, hence it’s a must buy for most gadget enthusiasts.
