Printers

I upgraded from a previous Brother color laser printer which worked very well. When the drum was nearing its end of life, I decided to upgrade rather than buying a new drum. It is now a backup printer my children use when they help out in the office or write stories.

I have a small consulting business and print meeting support material, graphics, and reports for clients; sometimes I print 200+ pages at once. The color quality is excellent. The wireless feature is a must have as I work with my laptop from different parts of the house - mostly my office and the dining room, and outside in the summer. The wireless feature installed easily and within a few minutes I was ready to print. The duplex function comes in handy as well. I didn't miss it with the previous printer, but it is a nice benefit.

I also purchased the second paper tray (HL-4570CDWT - the review invitation sent me to this version). I use the 500 sheet capacity second (bottom) tray for plain paper on which I do most printing. In the past, I used the foldout multi-purpose tray when printing letters, proposals, invoices, or marketing material on heavy paper, which was a hassle. Now the heavier paper is loaded in the smaller tray which makes it much more convenient. Never had a problem with the trays, they work like a charm.

This is my fifth Brother printer (my other three were/are small B/W personal printers I use for drafts and office-type paperwork that I replace when the drum life is up). All printers still work great. I like their reliability and the quality of the printouts.

This printer seems to go through toner fairly quickly, and I use workarounds to make the cartridges last a little longer.

This unit printed fine for about 10 months. We had problems with the paper feed. It was still under warrentee. The company came out and repaired the unit. Replaced part of feed mechanizm.
Since then the unit has worked well.
Prinht quality is excellent.
You dont know how good the product is until you have a warrentee claim.

Printer is great but the huge downside it the printer ink and toner - the most expensive of any printer I have purchased (which is many). I should have done due diligence with some more research.......

This printer is fantastic. I still haven't run out of ink. I can't believe that. I bought it mainly to feed card stock through the printer and it does it perfectly. The duplex feature is also great and fun to watch. Wireless feature was an ease to set up. I love this printer. Good job Brother...
