The Samsung CLX 3305 is a multifunction color laser printer, copier, and scanner. It has a stylish and compact design that should fit well in most small office or home setups. The build quality is generally good, and the control panel is intuitive and user-friendly. Print quality can produce sharp and vibrant color prints with a resolution of up to 2,400 x 600 dpi. Text documents are crisp and clear, while color images and graphics look impressive. This printer is appropriate for generating professional-quality papers as well as advertising and marketing products.

In terms of speed, the Samsung Laserdrucker CLX 3305 is a decent performer for a home or small office printer. It can print at speeds of up to 19 ppm (pages per minute) for black and white documents and 4 ppm (pages per minute) for color documents. While not the fastest printer on the market, it should be sufficient for moderate printing needs.

This printer comes with a 150-sheet input tray, which is suitable for light to moderate printing volumes. It also has a manual duplex printing feature, allowing you to print on both sides of the paper manually. However, if you need automatic duplexing or have heavy printing demands, you might find this printer somewhat limiting.

One consideration with color laser printers is the cost of consumables, particularly toner cartridges. Depending on your printing volume, the cost of replacement CLX 3305 Samsung toner cartridges can add up over time. It's a good idea to check the prices of replacement cartridges and the estimated page yield to get an idea of ongoing operating costs.
