It’s connected to our Wifi and it sits in a corner and any device we have can print to it, Mac, iPad, iPhone. Larger than most inkjets but much smaller than those clumsy printer/scanner combos. A tone cartridge is not expensive and lasts forever But it is good to get a backup and keep it around because you’ll always run out at the least convenient time. Supports all the basics like two-sided printing on long or short edge. Such as real-world print speed, or printhead life.Ĭlick to expand.I’ve had a Brother HL-L2340D for several years. If one printer is priced much less than another but appears to have the same features, you can be 100% guaranteed you are giving up something, and often something not obvious. If you want a color printer, the Epson Ecotank printers are in my opinion a good choice.ītw, printers are highly competitive, and you always get what you pay for. The pages per toner cartridge is much less. The cheaper Brother laser printers are not actually cheaper in the long run. Fusers are expensive and require technical knowledge to replace, again usually because people use cheap toner.

Most people don't notice because they don't know what to look for.

Often the first page printed from a small Brother laser printer is not 100% fused (inadequate initial heat transfer). Brother laser printer quality is fairly good, but not the best, so usually adequate for home use.īrother fusers usually do not last as long (or fuse as well), because HP have a patent on the best fuser technology, forcing Brother to use an inferior fuser technology. They separate the toner replacement from the drum replacement, making the toner replacement more economical (until you need a new drum, usually precipitated by using cheap non-Brother toner). Brother monochome laser printers are well suited for home use.
