What a simple but yet beautiful and friendly design this is. Its appearance dominates the shop and attracts attention. The < SCX1650 > is an inkjet multifunction printer and the designs of all printers of this type from the Korean manufacture SAMSUNG are well unobtrusive and of high quality. Although, in Japan, SAMSUNG is rather known as a manufacturer of IT products, such as semiconductors or and liquid crystal displays, in Europe, they are rapidly expanding their market into households with the help of their brand value. Beside this, in the design world, SAMSUNG has surpassed APPLE and became number 1 with regard to the total number of America's Industrial Design Excellence Awards (IDEA) they have won*1. Samsung initiated various design activities, such as the Samsung Design Membership that started in Korea in 1993. And also the Global Design Project has taken effect since the range of target members was expanded in 2001. The project provides opportunities for design students in Japan, the US, the United Kingdom, and Italy. The courageous development attitude to connect talents and technologies all over the world and to develop a product from the viewpoint of design has surely made SAMSUNG a global design-oriented company. The < SCX 1650 > is one of the outcomes of this design-oriented development and so is the "SAMSUNG design."
