Samsun CLP-550 Color Laser Printer.......2004-10-22

I purchased this printer almost on a whim on Ebay because I was looking for a duplexing printer to print brochures for our nonprofit trails advocacy & maintenance organization (www.triangletrails.org)

In the past I've had to go to the copy store to make the two sided B&W brochures, which I then folded and distributed to those interested at street and river festivals and the like.

In considering this purchase I thought the color capability of this printer would be nice. Ink jet printing, or quick copy color printing of hundreds of 2-sided brochures, at almost a dollar a pop, was totally impractical for these brochures we give away like candy.

When I read another Amazon.com or Epinions review of the CLP-500 printer which listed a detailed consumables expenses of about a dime a page, I made the plunge.

So far, the printer has been top notch, and I would recommend it. I'm still waiting to see how fast I go through the toner cartridges though.

The auto duplexing feature on this printer is pretty much worth the price of the printer. It works very well, and has allowed me to print the brochures in house. This is the only color printer in this price range I've seen with auto duplexing. I recommend it highly. Once you use it, you'll wonder how you've lived without it.

Auto duplexing works great for regular printing as well. Now I don't have as many scrap pieces of paper with print on one side waiting to be inserted back in the printer to print on the blank side for those printing out of directions, reports, etc.

The color is very good, even on cheap, regular copy paper. I'm basically printing three or four photos with spot color for headlines, with the rest black print, in the brochure. It has worked well for this. You can get acceptable results with cheap paper.

We've noticed that these color brochures even on cheap paper, are picked up more than our old B&W brochures. The color photo on the front with color title is really eye catching. Now I hope those more brochures getting picked up brings in more members and donations. ;-)

I just purchased some more expensive glossy paper that I'm hoping to use soon. I'm sure the color printing quality will improve dramatically.

The printer is much faster than my old HP LJ4P on B&W printing. On color, it is fairly slow, but still very much acceptable for a printer in this price range. It would probably print faster with more memory, which I've been considering. However, it is much, much faster than my old ink jet!

For the downside, the printer came out of the box with right top front door latch (push to open, push then click to close) inoperative. This means that the right top front of the main or front door doesn't close all the way. It is slightly ajar, so to speak.

I called the Samsung customer support, and after explaining it, they said they would raid a new one and send me the latch. This arrived in a few days. However, it promptly fell apart upon taking it out of the envelope. I tried to put it back together, and inserted it in the hole in the printer. Parts immediately fell into the recesses of the printer, with the shell of the latch still in place. The printer worked fine. However, the parts fell somewhere totally unreachable in the printer.

I called customer support again, and they promptly sent me another, this time wrapped in tape. I've yet to install it because I'm going to have to break the latch housing - still in its hole in the printer - with pliers or something. Since the printer is working fine, with only this cosmetic issue, I'm still working up the nerve to break the housing.

There seems to be no need to bother sending back the printer or calling the year's worth of on-site support for this very minor issue. We'll see what happens and I'll include an update.

But I was very impressed with their customer service. I like the "can do" attitude. They did what they said they would do and helped me out again when the situation wasn't resolved the first time. They too were impressed that Samsung came out with the auto duplexing feature in a color laser printer at this price point.

My other issue is that this printer appears to have no way of displaying how much toner remaining in each cartridge, or conversely, how much of the cartridge has been used.

There is no report that displays this info. The only printout it offers is the number of pages or cycles printed with each color and B&W cartridge. Many HP color printers offer a percentage of toner used report or a thermometer graphic showing how much toner is left or has been used.

This may be too much to expect in a color laser of this price point. But it would sure be nice to have so I'm not left "high and dry" on a weekend when an important job is due.

Also, printer cartridges are not yet available locally at local or chain office supply stores. I'm sure this will change as more CLP-500's and CLP-550's get out there.

Again, I think this is a great printer so far. The auto duplexing feature is fabulous! This is really a great buy for all the features that come with it. It could be a boon to very small nonprofits or businesses. I hope this series of printers sells well for Samsung. While I've always been a solid HP laser printer man in the past, I'll indeed consider Samsung when purchasing printers in the future.

I like the printer so much that I created a Yahoo group for users of the Samsung CLP-500 series of printers to get advice and share experiences. Please join it at:

The Synergy Series represents the world's greatest value in high-performance home entertainment. The SF-3 floorstanding loudspeaker supports this claim by using high-quality materials, reliable components and distinguished cosmetics to deliver incredibly dynamic and accurate performances.The SF-3's virtuosity comes from its dual 8-inch, magnetically shielded woofers and 1-inch aluminum diaphragm compression driver coupled to a Klipsch 6-inch square Tractrix Horn. This advanced combination results in powerful bass with remarkable detail and high volumes with low distortion.The woofers employ graphite-injected cones that are light and rigid, which allows better damping for further reduced distortion. The cast-polymer woofer frames have high impact tolerance to stabilize the driver motors and feature a unique venting system that cools the voice coil to enhance reliability. A large flared port bolsters low bass output with minimum turbulence.The SF-3 is an exceptional performer due to its high-definition crossover networks and internally braced enclosures. Not to mention, it benefits from more than 55 years of Klipsch engineering experience.This floorstander comes in a jet ash vinyl veneer finish and features a "floating", or suspended, grille design, which minimizes image-impairing sonic reflections.By offering high-performance technology at an affordable price point, the SF-3 invites new listeners to discover Klipsch, and experience an adrenaline rush of sound.

Product Description

The LEICA R9 has been designed in such a way that it makes good sense for a photographer: it is not overloaded with technical features but carries everything which a photographer needs to control his/ her results. The basis philosophy is typical for Leica: you can operate the camera instinctively without moving your eyes from the viewfinder, where you have all important information permanently at sight. Thanks to the extended focal length range of the lens, you can master everything with flying colors - from landscape and group photographs all the way to staged single portraits. Easy and pleasant to use. And many photographers also appreciate the separate control rings for focus and aperture. Special Offer: Purchase a Leica R9 SLR Camera Body and receive a $300 gift certificate good towards a Leica Digital Module R, the new Digital Camera Back for Leica R8 & R9 SLR Cameras, available in December 2004.

Product Description

Motorola Spirit GT professional two-way radio is at the forefront of onsite business communications. This durable two-way radio operates on frequencies reserved exclusively for business use. Spirit GT radios are the perfect communication solution for all of today's fast-paced industries. Designed to help meet the demands of the modern workplace, these radios are compact and durable. Business communications made simple! The Spirit GT+ radio is ideally suited for retail stores, restaurants, schools, hospitality, event coordination, small businesses and more.

Amazon.com Product Description

Keeping in touch with family and friends while enjoying outdoor activities, communicating between cars traveling in a group, or getting messages from base camp to summit is remarkably easy with the Motorola Spirit GT Plus ultra lightweight two-way radio. Operating on two channels at up to 4 miles outdoors and covering up to 200,000 square feet indoors, Motorola provides you with the means to take advantage of the new family radio service (FRS) band. It operates on UHF business frequencies, allowing you to communicate with separate groups on separate channels. The device is ideal for use when you're running errands and enjoying outdoor activities, and it lets you talk to anyone for free.

As with a party line, other FRS users can overhear your conversations while operating on the same combination of channel and privacy code, but the GT Plus's 38 privacy codes do help block out unwanted channel interference. Attractively finished in silver and sturdily designed to absorb minor impacts, the Motorola Spirit GT Plus also features four selectable alert signals to notify you of incoming calls, and advanced voice activation for hands-free operation. It's powered by a rechargeable NiMH battery that holds up to 9 hours of standby battery life between charges. A carry holster is also included.

Motorola Spirit GT Professional 2-Way Radio.......2006-02-22

I bought these radios online a few years ago. Have used it since for weddings, road trips, ski trips, camping, vacation, cruises and in hotel rooms. The radio is great with ranges from 1-4 miles depending on the terrain you are in. Just used them up at Lake Tahoe and the range is great! We had friends in the registration lodge as we were on the other side of the mountain and could hear them fine!

Con: I can't tell what other Motorola models are compatible with the "Motorola Spirit GT Professional 2-Way Radio". Wish there was a list somewhere.

GT Plus not as functional as T280.......2002-05-07

GT Plus does everything the T280 does, but it is much harder to switch frequencies & channels. The T280 is a much better product at a lower price.

Business radios operate on overcrowded business frequencies.......2002-03-21

On the jobsite or in the workplace, professional two-way radios
provide instant communication with individuals or multiple groups.

Business communications made simple! The Spirit GT+ radio
is ideally suited for retail stores, restaurants, schools,
hospitals, event coordination, small businesses and more.

Special "wait-to-talk" feature requires that you wait for
all the other conversations from the other companies that
share your frequency to stop transmitting so you can talk.

Spirit® Professional two-way radios operate on business
radio frequencies, (not FRS) which adds to congestion on
the already overcrowded business radio service.
Not recommended for personal use.

Two channel operation allows twice as many users to
share the same frequencies with you and requires frequency
coordination with other companies in your area.

"Up to 4 mile range" means that you will recieve interference
and unwanted chatter from everybody else within a 4 mile radius.

Regardless of which 2 of the 8 frequencies you choose,
there will always be somebody telling you to "get off my channel!".

When you ask that person for their license information,
they will explain that "I don't need a license!".
When you explain the rules to them, they will argue
"your rules Do NOT apply to me!", then they will
start jammming you.

Here is a list of low power itinerant business radio frequencies:

1 464.5000 Brown
2 464.5500 Yellow
3 467.7625 J
4 467.8125 K
5 467.8500 Silver Star
6 467.8750 Gold Star
7 467.9000 Red Star
8 467.9250 Blue Star

Spirit® Professional two-way radios operate on
radio frequencies that are regulated by the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC). In order to transmit
on these frequencies, you are required to have a license
issued by the FCC....

NOT GMRS or FRS.......2001-12-27

This is a decieving radio. You need a business FCC license for it so you must apply for it and state your business need for these radio's. Its better to stick with GMRS or FRS unless you want to violate FCC R&R and use them for non-business use. There are FCC listeners everywhere that monitor the use of these frequencies and I have returned these radios and switched to GMRS. The claim that you have a 4 to 5 mile range is in perfect conditions, using these radios for the short time I had them gave me only minimal range increase from my FRS radios I've previously used. Range is dependent on the antennae and battery strength.

Motorola still knows how to build a radio.......2001-11-30

These radios are great. I use them while hunting. Good clear crisp communicataion over the entire ranch, I highly recommend them. I have 4.
