We needed a laser printer to print on labels that needed to resist water and smearing.
This printer does great, it does have some small flaws, such as the manual feed, but for normal feeding and collating(manual) it is great.
The software gives clear and concise instructions so you don't end up having Office Space fantasies.
My biggest complaint is the manual feed. It will usually take one page, but only one at a time, so you can't do three thick paper prints like this.
You have to put them in the tray and let them get curved or feed them through the manual, wait, try a second time, clear the mystery jam, wait, load one more paper, repeat. All said, the manual feed takes about 90-120 seconds per page once you get a system down.
At 1yr:
I've never had it jam, it produces great prints. Good job, Brother.

This is only my second color laser, but it's the best! The speed and quality of the color prints are superb and second to none in this price range! The color printouts are almost as fast as the B&W printouts (a FAR CRY better than my old Magicolor 2300 which was SLOOOOOW). Setup was no problem and all my computers recognize it seconds after turning it on.

Purchased this product ~ 4 weeks ago. Installation was simple (both Mac and PC). Connecting to my local area network was simple as well (used wired connection, so only involved plugging in the cable).
Prints fast, and the colors look great on documents. I have looked for photo paper for laser, but so far have not found anything that come close to inkjet. For me this is not a problem, since most of my photos are digital, and if I do need a print costco, CVE, etc... are just around the corner. I do think the toner is expensive, but I am not a high volume user, so for me the speed and simplicity are worth the cost.
I also own a Brother MFC-7840W, and I am very happy with that device as well.
Good reliable products.

The HL-3070CW is a good solid value in a digital color printer. Image quality is good, the speed is adequate, and it offers a much more economical alternative to ink jet printing if you do any volume at all. I can think of only two negatives, one minor and one not so minor. In many respects, the control panel is counterintuitive and needlessly complicated. The single-sheet bypass feeder is just unacceptable if you do any envelope printing at all. Envelopes come out looking as if a car ran over them.
