More than just a functional workspace, today’s offices are stylishly appointed, often with the latest ergonomic furniture, to showcase the individuality as well as make a statement of its occupants. Samsung’s latest design-centric printers are an apt reflection of this new trend.

With its sleek black exterior, Samsung’s monochrome laser printer ML-1630 and multi-function printer SCX-4500 look more like elegant artworks. A blue LED scan-process indicator, backlit display, and user-friendly soft-touch sensors enhance the visual aesthetics. This provides a stark contrast to most printers on the market today, which boast multiple functions cramped into a machine with a design as imaginative as a milk carton.

However, Samsung has not sacrificed functionality for cosmetic beauty. While their print resolution (1200 x 600 dpi for the ML-1630, and 600 x 600 dpi for the SCX-4500) and specifications are not the highest around, the ML-1630 and SCX-4500 still deliver quality printouts at an operational noise of 45dB – softer than normal conversation (50dB). And standing only as tall as your coffee mug, this is one machine you would be proud to show off in your office.
