Printers

The printer is solid, compact, and fast. I'm impressed with the features and efficiency of this model. However, it does not print colors accurately; I'm somewhat concerned about this.

NOT suitable for BUSINESS!! What a disappointment!!

To give you an example of what to expect on a DAILY bases: Today we've printed 6 sheets of labels, 2 of them jammed! Jamming is a constant issue with this printer. We just started printing for the day, and sadly we expect more problems to occur.

When the labels do not jam, the top of the sheet comes out dog-eared. (bent/folded at 1 top corner) And, about half-way down the page, something that looks like grey heat marks, (almost shadows of what was printed at the top) is left behind, ruining the remaining labels or pictures. We wish we could upload a picture to show you the amount of wasted pictures & labels that hit the recycle bin. To reduce waste, we have resorted to cutting the pages in half before feeding them through the printer. Of course, the added step is both time consuming and limits picture size.

The HL-4150CDN worked fine for approx. 2 month before it started having issues. Aside from the jamming, it was constantly leaving vertical streaks on the page. While still under warranty, we had a Brother-authorized repairman fix the issues. After getting it back, we now leave the back of the printer open, as recommended by the repairman. We continue to follow the procedure for cleaning the corona wires and replacing toners with OEM cartridges but we still constantly have printing and jamming issues.

We also DO NOT Recommend this printer if you intend on printing pictures regularly. This printer loves to chew up photo paper. After purchasing this printer, we had to discontinue offering our customers P.O.P posters, color charts, etc. The quality of the Duplex printing on our brochures varies from set to set. Sometimes they are good while other times they are terrible. We have to sort thru each stack and recycle approx. 15% of the ones not meeting our standard... Of course it's waste of toner, paper, and employee productivity. We've recently replaced the Drum Unit, hoping the printing would improve. NO LUCK!!

If you’re HOPING to save $$ because the Brother Toner cartridges are more affordable, expect the $pend more than you save on employee time, wasted photo paper, labels and brochures. Don’t forget to factor in the expense of delaying all productivity relying on the printer!

Don't have time to HASSLE with a printer? Look somewhere else.

Easy to network, fast warm up, great print quality, easy maintenance. Appears to be energy efficient as well - enters deep sleep mode in a timely manner.
