    Conclusion
    The Epson WorkForce WF-3520DWF is fast and responsive and has most of the functions a small company would need, but the print quality is far behind other printers, especially Epson's photo printers.
    The Samsung CLX-3305FW has a lot going for it, but the high cost per page and lack of automatic duplex make it not necessarily a choice buy for any size of company.
