I’ve owned Bother printers before and so far this one is just as good. Easy to set up on my home network. I’ve never owned a color laser printer before and this unit seems to very well on plain paper. I want to get some photo quality paper and see how that looks. I will be able to give a better review after I’ve had this printer for a while. I know the toner cartridges will be very expensive but I don’t print that much color, so I’ll buy a high yield black cartridge and post an update to this review in a few months. I would recommend any Brother printer.
When toner is out - Printer becomes a paperweight.

All I'm going to say is, when your toner is out (yes, it does warn you for awhile when it's low), the printer is USELESS. It becomes a paperweight. You can NOT print anything (even black and white when a color is out) until you buy a NEW cartridge. You can not place a cartridge from the same model into it. The printer 'reads' something off the toner that makes them un-swappable. There, no longer, are codes to reset the toner count and continue printing. Brother tells you when you must replace the toner and my prints looks fine. I used to go two or three months longer until the page faded enough to replace the toner. Those days are over.
I have been using inkjet printers and while the initial quality was good, I did not print in color enough to keep the jets clean. So I was not getting my money's worth out of the inkjet cartridges. Due to cost considerations, I had switched to a Brother black laser printer (HL-2270DW) to print black and white and had great success. So I decided to look at the color laser printers and I'm very happy that I did. The quality is great, the setup we easy, and I've had zero issues printing anything.
I really thought I was getting an all in one but only got a PRINTER. But, I must say a good printer. The instructions to setup not good. Had to wait to talk to brother tech for setup. Open only Mon-Friday .So now I have to buy a another piece of equipment to scan,fax and copy.
I have owned sever monochrome and color printers. This printer, however, has outperformed all my printer I have owned in the past. First, it does not drain power causing lights to dim. I prints fast and the colors are spot on. The cartridges cost less than my HP. This is a very good printer.
This printer is very easy to set up, maintain, and use. The wireless feature worked immediately. The print quality and speed are exactly as advertised. Very happy with this printer!
So far, the printing is pretty good...I had to calibrate and will probably do that again. Using paper designed for laserjet machines is always a good idea for optimum results. One thing I want to suggest...Brother please update your installation guide. If a user has a multi channel router, the printer must first be hooked up to the wifi using the LCD screen on the printer (if it has one) THEN plug into computer to finish installation. Not the other way around. It took me 2 hours of failure and researching the internet and then a call to Brother because the installation guide is not complete, the printer kept kicking my pc('s) off the wifi.
This is the first laser printer I have ever used. The initual set was was pretty easy. The printing comes out so clear and vivid. It takes a few seconds to start up, but once it starts printing it puts pages out rather fast. The control panel is easy to use and to understand.
