Conclusion
The Epson AcuLaser M2300D series comes in four different versions. Their biggest advantages are responsiveness and print speed. They are perfectly suited for users who want an affordable printer, but who aren't very demanding when it comes to colour and print quality.
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.
