Unboxing Pics of new Printer: Samsung SCX-4500

[DVNIEL]

So I was literally standing and staring at this printer, then I was approached by one of the Apple employees and was asked "she's beautiful huh?" I couldn't deny it, it was a piece of art. So I decided to hell with it, my Canon i560s is 6-years old and showing age, and I need something faster and clearer.

I was told that for a moment in time, this printer was an exclusive to Apple, and I figured that this would look great with my newly purchased iMac. I share with you the unboxing pictures. Review will be arriving in a few days.


The first picture is to show the lonely devices that the new printer will join=)

She's an all-in-one laser printer, scanner, copier with a glossy black chassis, utterly silent, and has a touch control panel on the right side.

This is absolutely the best desk I've ever worked on. I got it "open-box" already assembled at Ikea here. Just had to take apart the legs, took it home, was in utterly outstanding condition. Saved myself $50 and labor

Lifehouse is one of the best bands out there, listened to them even before they went big. Their best album was No Name Face, well worth it on iTunes.

Toner

I've been looking at that for a while. Any chance you know what new toner cartridges cost?

Beautiful printer, btw.

 

[kuebby]

Wow. That's an "Apple inspired" printer for sure.

Is this printer wireless network ready? I have a Samsung CLP 300n and have been very pleased with it, but my daughter wants it.

 

[DVNIEL]

I don't think you can set this up to be wireless by itself. You need to set it up with a compatible router, or an Airport Express (which I recommend)

 

[bijou]

That's not what I meant--just wanted to know if this was a wireless printer which is 'network-ready'. That's assuming there's a networked router in place, and you don't have to have an airport base station to do that.

I do have the AEBSn, however.

Man, I'm dead set on getting this black beauty! You can close down my "Mac-worthy" printer thread! I've found one that is Mac worthy! Cheers!

 

[hollywoodmacguy]

These really are sleek, beautiful printers. Pricing note: if you buy them (with a new Mac) at the store or @ .com, they're $100 off.

At the risk of nitpicking, wonder if Samsung might consider an aluminum model so that they look perfect next to Macs?

 

[Reubania]

Too bad I've already bought my MacBook! Although I would buy the iMac based on looks - since I really don't need another computer!

Nitpicking too right! I actually love the shiny black look of this printer! That's why it's so attractive! After the numerous bland PC beige coloured printers, it's good to see Samsung push the boundaries with this look! Plus, it looks great next to my ever-increasing shiny black gadgets...shiny black 1GB Nano and soon-to-be iPod Touch. It's a nice contrast to my all white MacBook and peripherals, with the iPod HiFi the equilibrium between the two shades.

Boy, am I sad. Sorry for the rambling. I'm gonna inquire a retailer about getting this soon.

 

[basqarl]

Dumb question?

It does color copying.....is it a color laser printer or only b/w laser printer?

Sorry I am so thick in the skull in this dept....!

 

[Slip]

Now that is one sexy printer...
I would happily trade in my battered old HP 3820 for that beauty

To bad it is only B&W.
