With decent photo paper, I've gotta say, I'm really impressed with how well this prints photos, as well.
Sure, it's not quite professional quality, like you can get with a good inkjet on photo paper. But it's WAY better than I expected, and really plenty good for the rare situations when we want a photo printed.
And other color graphics/images look as fantastic as hoped/expected. Even on normal laser printer paper, you can print off nice color graphics for kid crafts or embellishing hobby projects, and they come out really nice.
While it's true that most people don't NEED a color printer, it's been a more useful and fun luxury than we anticipated.
And while the cost-per-page is going to technically be higher than say an ink tank inkjet printer, this is an overblown concern for many/most people. The (relatively small) difference in the cost of the printer itself might justifiably matter to some. But the cost of toner vs ink is only going to be significant if you are regularly printing a LOT.
What matters more to me -- and I suspect many people -- is that (like any laser printer) this sucker NEVER DRIES OUT. You can go a month between printings if you want, and it doesn't matter! You don't get sideswiped by clogged nozzles when you just want to hop on really quick and print something. You don't have to go through cleaning cycles and spew out tons of ink and use up paper. You simply print stuff when you want to, and it just works.
It starts printing pretty quickly, too, within 15 seconds or so for the first page. I don't know why I saw at least one other review claiming it took much longer than that.
I'm glad it has an ethernet connection in addition to the WiFi option. And the little color touch screen, while not necessary really, is kinda handy sometimes.
So far the toner economy has been phenomenal. Even the skimpy starter cartridges lasted way longer than I expected. Again, it all comes down to your print load. If you're pumping out hundreds of pages a day, yeah, you probably want to look elsewhere. For a typical home load, I maintain that this thing is amazing.
At less than $300 this printer is, in my opinion, a bargin. This printer is ~40 pounds, but the box arrived with barely any damage via USPS (pleasantly surprized). Print quality for fonts is sharp. Print quality for pictures and images may not be as well defined and posibly over saturated (I didn't calibrate). I printed a artist's rendering of a girl meeting a young deer, in a forest, and the face of the deer was dark and lacked definition. The whole print was over saturated and didn't look that bad, but wasn't true to the picture I had downloaded from deviant art dot com. I don't think I am allowed to upload the print due to (c).
The toner will likely last years based on the fact that I don't print much, but if it were an inkjet I'd need to buy new ink every few months I wanted to print a form, map, evelope, letter, etc... 'cause the inkjet heads would dryout and clog.
Duplex printing is a plus!
My previous printer was a Brother Inkjet, and I liked the ease of use, and quality.
I recommend this printer if you're not using it for photographs, or to print nice pictures, but why would you use a laser printer for that?!
I paid full price for this product and received no compensation for the product nor review.
Top reviews from other countries
Setup and Connectivity: Setting up the printer was straightforward. The wireless connectivity is a standout feature, allowing me to easily print from multiple devices, including smartphones and tablets, without any hassle. The Brother iPrint&Scan app enhances the ease of use, offering convenient options for printing and scanning.
Print Quality: The print quality for both color and black-and-white documents is impressive. The colors are vibrant and consistent, making it suitable for printing graphics and small-scale marketing materials. Text documents are sharp and clear, even with small font sizes.
Speed and Efficiency: The print speed is commendable, handling high-volume tasks efficiently. This is a significant advantage for anyone with regular or bulk printing needs. It's not just fast but also relatively quiet compared to other printers I've used.
Paper Handling: The paper tray has a good capacity, reducing the need for frequent refills. It handles different paper types and sizes well, which is a plus for a variety of printing tasks.
Cost-effectiveness: While the initial cost of the printer is reasonable, the toner cartridges can be a bit pricey. However, the high yield options for toner do offer better long-term value. The printer's energy efficiency also helps in reducing operating costs.
Design and Build: The printer has a compact and modern design, fitting well in small office spaces. The build quality is solid, as expected from Brother.
Limitations: It's worth noting that it's a single-function printer, so if you need scanning or copying capabilities, you might have to look elsewhere. Also, while the color prints are great for documents and presentations, it might not suffice for professional-quality photo printing.
Overall: The Brother HLL3270CDW is a reliable and efficient choice for anyone in need of a color printer for home or small office use. Its ease of use, quality of prints, and speed make it a worthwhile investment, especially if your primary need is document printing.
