Good features, not great photo printing
on January 18, 2013

Had good hopes for the HL-4570 after owning several other Brother products over the years. Seems very functional. Has good features (wireless, duplexing). Our toner provider said cost per page is good.
My complaint with this printer is the image quality when printing photos on plain paper. The Dells did much better. On this printer, full-page photos come out with low color saturation and kind of a gray overall appearance, and kind of a rough appearance that looks like pixellation. We have worked with settings and tried better paper and gotten it a little better, but still not great. I would expect better. Mostly what we print on it is owner's manuals and small documents which include color letterhead, and it's fine for that. If you want to print photos or graphics that need to "pop" however, I would keep looking.
I would recommend this to a friend!

this printer is ok

We've had the printer for about a month and a half. So far the cartridges have not yet needed to be replaced. It is quick and set up was easy. We are disappointed with the print quality, particularly with the color. Even though we change the hue or density of the color on the file the color on the print does not change and is very deep. There isn't much if any variation is the hues.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Big disappointment

The duplex function was terrific, even with heavy card. Printing is very quick -- when it works.
The printer worked fine with the original toner cartridges, but since having to replace the toner -- even with Brother toner at no small cost -- the printer no longer works.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not so sure I made the best choice yet.

Print and color quality is fine . That and speed are similer to my old HP. The MP tray seams a little finiky about how much paper is put in and my biggest concern is how fast the original toner lasted. I have ordered the High Yield for replacement but if I am replacing them every month or 2 my toner costs are going to over triple for the year.

This is a horrible printer. I bought it 3 weeks ago and it is already telling me to change printer cartridges. Do not buy.

Great product with great support!

Great for a few college students studying engineering and chemistry. No fussing with the printer, software, or networking to do what I want. The layout was very intuitive for me. The print quality exceeded expectations. Still haven't filled the ink for over six months of light use. The unit did fall into a deep sleep and died but Brother had some of the local technicians come to my home and repair the unit. Great support from Brother! Not even plugging the unit into a battery backup (bad idea) it pulls extra amps and sometimes makes my computer (in the UPS) restart. Low voltage or low current condition? I'm still troubleshooting. I put the UPS on extra sensitive for now. If it becomes an issue I can plug the HL-4570CDW into another socket that's not on the same circuit as my computer. Or I can put it anywhere and just go wireless with an adapter. I love the flexibility. Even though it is big, heavy, noisy, and sleeps a lot it's not lazy. No more changing print cartridges every month and being overly conservative with ink. No paper jams!

Disappointed!
on May 18, 2012
Posted by: gwgpc
We are a "some-what" paperless office. We print much less than we used to. However, I am very disappointed with this printer. Even the high-capacity cartridges don't seem to last very long. Color quality is horrible and spotty and it does not print pictures on photo paper.
We have had this printer less than a year and we are already getting a "replace drum soon" message.
Also, even after adjustment of paper-type, it crinkles my envelopes, plain and bond. Very unprofessional!
Just Plain Horrible!!!

Very Expensive Ink and Toner
on December 24, 2012
Posted by: Royce
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.......
