Pros & Cons
Pros
Brother laser jet is a solid workhorse that has given me zero issues in the 8 months i have been using it. I have it hooked up to my ethernet switch using an ethernet cable and then tied into my wi-fi mesh network. The wireless works fine, but really ... Read More
It reminds me of the hewlett-packard laser printers we used to use in the 90s. Businesses and hospitals use laser printers for good durability and efficiency.
It prints extremely quickly and prints are high-quality. The start up time is fairly quick, not as quick as an inkjet, but the printed pages per minute (ppm) is much faster if multiple pages are printed. Print quality excellent for business documents,... Read More
The drum unit, waste toner box and belt unit are very easy to replace (and not too expensive) on these printers. I often use the toner saver mode because the quality is still very impressive. The toner is expensive, but i'm not that concerned as i am ... Read More
Cons
If you go rogue and print the envelope without doing this, it prints it incorrectly. All brother printers have a bogus toner selling scheme where their cartridges stop working when they are still half full.
Brother's printer is disposable after 2 years or so when the fuser needs replacing. A refund was issued almost 2 months later, and a replacement unit was ordered. What's the deal with a new printer being cheaper than the consumables?
Duplex is out of the question as it jams every single time. It's as if we unplugged it.
Highlights
Quality
Great print quality, works with everything, zero problems.
It is a very good printer and has been solid to use, without any issues thus far.
We have had and used many different printers and none produced the quality and speed of this one.
Buyer beware - brother will not provide any technical support at all outside the warranty period.
Price
Should save significant money on consumables over the life of the machine.
You really should invest in the super high yield toners to get the most value.
I had wanted a color laser printer for a long time but could never justify the cost.
Shipping
It took three amazon orders to get this printer here.
Haven't had it for very long, but i am happy with the purchase.
Competitiveness
Much better than other printers i've bought that didn't last long at all.
