Samsung
Electronics announced today its new Xpress C430 and C480 series of color
printers and multi-function printers. The series include C430/430W
single-function color printers, C480/480W multi-function printers that can
print, copy, and scan, and C480FN/C480FW 4-in-1 MFPs with additional faxing
capability. Designed for small-office and home-office (SOHO )
users who look for efficiency and depend on mobile devices, these printers come
with features such as scan-to-email and mobile printing support.
“The new
series that are perfect for today’s mobile world, underscore our commitment to
small-office and home-offices, which are around 70% of all users with a high
average monthly print volume, ”said David SW Song, Senior Vice President of
Strategy Marketing and Sales, Printing Solutions, Samsung Electronics. “We are
ready to meet the growing demand from businesses for products and solutions
that boost their productivity and reduce their long term costs. With the Xpress
C430/480 series, we empower SOHO users with
the latest IT solutions and help them grow their business with devices that are
high in quality, convenient to use, and most importantly, economical.”
Initial
printer installation is simplified for SOHO
offices that don’t have an IT administrator. Samsung Printer Software Installer
installs the printer driver wirelessly without the need for a USB stick or CD
drive. The scan-to-email function, previously available only on higher-end Samsung
printers, is now a native feature of the C430/C480series. Mobile printing has
also been made simple and intuitive thanks to NFC and cloud technologies. Users
can print, scan, and fax by tapping their NFC-enabled mobile devices on the
printer or by using the Samsung Mobile Print app. With the Mobile Print app,
they can also save scanned documents directly to the phone. The printers in the
series are also compatible with cloud printing services such as Samsung Cloud
Print™.
The printers
in the C430 and C480 line-up run on 400MHz and 800 MHz core processors
respectively and can print 18 pages per minute (ppm) in mono and 4 pages per
minute in color. The Xpress C430/C480 series support an enhanced resolution of
up to 2,400 x 600 dots per inch (dpi). Samsung’s unique rendering engine
technology sharpens text and boosts image clarity. The series have eco-friendly
features such as the One Touch Eco Button and the Easy Eco Driver. With these
features, users can change the print settings on a document-by-document basis,
for instance by un-bolding bold text or printing only the text in a document
that contains both text and images. These features are expected to save long
term cost, by reducing toner usage by up to 20%.
