We really like our Brother Printer. Very easy to install and get it to wirelessly print. Good print quality and works well for a long period of time without needing much maintenance.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. This printer was fairly simple to set up; the instructions on how to remove the tabs and plastic pieces were clear. I do not have a computer with a cd drive so i had to do the setup through the website. The printer is fairly large, but great quality and worth the extra space. The print quality is great; I use this multiple times a day for work. The printer is relatively quiet compared to other printers i`ve owned in the past. I like that the compartments are clearly labeled and it doesn`t seem too complicated to change out the ink. Overall, this is a great product and i would purchase again.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. The true test of office equipment is often how well it can perform in a small office environment where the luxury of a tech team isn`t in the budget. In the real world smaller can`t mean less productive, and here the Brother HL-L8260 CDW performs like a champion. For the smaller office the three features most needed are definitely apparent. Easy to Set UpThe product instructions for this printer are easy to follow, and setting up the printer to immediately start producing high quality prints was simple. It`s possible to print from USB drives with the HL-L8260`s handy port located in the front, where it is easily accessed. AirPrint is possible for Apple mobile devices, and wireless setup is quick with the printer`s touch-screen LCD. Loading Paper Anyone working in a small office typically has one complaint about most printers, and that`s jamming. It can bring production to a halt, and frustrate even the most even-tempered staff member. Working with the L8260 for a month reveals this printer runs smoothly, quietly, and with no jams despite continual usage. Quality of the Printing Nothing makes a small business look as amateurish as poor quality printing. After printing maps, photos, standard reports, color photos the results are top notch. Shading was perfect in photos, small print was clear with no blurring or fading, and printing on two sides resulted in cost savings with no loss of quality. Printing was fast up to 33 ppm for black and color printing, which can make a big difference in productivity.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. Setup: Unit is quite heavy but does not take up too much space.Was well packed and easy to get out of the box with help due to weight of printer.Would like more if lighter. Everything came included in the box accept the USB chord. Love the fact everything is included. Very convenient. I assume no USB chord is a mistake on companies part.Once the unit was set in place. It was very easy to remove all packaging and set up ink to run.Love how the ink rolls out so easy and all the cartridges are sitting right there to see and replace when needed. Also nice and easy to load paper into tray.Connecting printer to my computer and WiFi: This was a bit of a nightmare. It took me about an hour to get the printer going. This was very inconvenient. I think there were multiple problems maybe, between computer, printer and router. After multiple troubleshooting tasks, I finally got it going. There still seems to be a problem with the printer and my computer staying connected but printer seems to stay connected with my Ipad. This is very inconvenient. But I do love the fact that multiple devices can connect to printer.Print quality: It prints very fast and does multiple copies with no problem. I think it is really cool how it prints 2 sides.The print on paper looks Ok but does not seem to have the same color pop as my other printer.Appearance: I like the easy and advanced look of the control panel on printer. I also like the way and where printed paper is held.

This printer is a very nice printer for a small office, that has separate machines for different functions. It prints extremely well. Printing is clear, color is vibrant. It is very quiet, warms up quickly, and prints fairly fast. It`s WIFI capabilities make it an extremely user-friendly machine, by letting you print from several wireless devices. That is one of my favorite features. Set up was simple, and required almost no effort, maybe 10 minutes from box to printing. Set up instructions were extremely clear and simple to follow. In comparison to other printers I have used in the past, this was a breeze. As far as the quality of the printing, it far exceeded my expectations. It was able to print thin lines, thick lines, graphics and charts without smearing the print or having the lines run together. Exceptional quality printing.
The only thing that I would suggest that could be improved upon would be the fact that you cannot make copies or do scanning into your computer from this machine. I understand that it is a stand-alone machine, as it only does printing. The area where our office machines are is quite compact, meaning there is not a lot of room for a lot of standalone machines. It works better for us if we have one machine that will do printing, copying and scanning.
Overall, it is a fantastic printer, if the only function you are looking for is a standalone printer. The printer is very user friendly and the quality of the printing is outstanding.
I like it overall, but, I am disappointed in the way it prints pictures. There is no control over intensity, tint, etc.. I am an artist, and I bought it hoping to use it to make saleable prints of my work, but sad to say, I'm not too happy with that.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. STORAGE: I participated in a market research study and received this product to evaluate. I have a Home office with a few of us that utilize the printer on a daily basis alot and having one place designated for Printer only is Great! The space to the left of the large Desk out of the way has been wonderful as we have it set up on the Wireless network, preferred so we are not connecting Ethernet connectivity. It serves our space greatly and working environment.
ASSEMBLY: Assembly was good. Two people is better than one. We needed two people to lift and attach and assemble the printer it was very easy to assemble once we got going on the instructions from the video . The instructions on the video tell you step by step how to assemble and are slow enough to understand. I am sure with ambition the assembly of this printer could be done by a single person if needed.
STABILITY: The stand and area we designated it at next to the desk is very stable. We have no worries about it toppling over or falling apart. It is a oak like looking stand mostly made of partial board I am sure, it is not an incredibly solid but the printer looks good and is very solid on it.It will work excellent even when bumped it is heavy enough to not fall or tip over as it should fulfill our purpose for our home office needs greatly.
PROBLEMS: I really didn`t see any problems that were concerning. We print photo`s at times on our printouts and the photo quality can be excellent or okay. Labels if you do not print a very very large job the color ink is good. Also does have a delay in printing but that is with any printer. Overall good.
PROS: This laser color printer has a very good rapid output for quality and for the text and graphics printing speed very fast and effectively. It is a great medium-duty printer to use in a small or micro office or our work groups. It offers a wide range of connection choices, we use the WiFi and also our smartphone devices which are great and easy to use. Also good paper handling and this printer supports Google Cloud Print, and works with the Brother i Print &Scan app, which we love on our desk top as well as our smart phone devices. We are very happy with it for our office needs.
PRICE: Reasonably priced, fast, text and graphics look good, a perfect match for a small company or home business or small work group or micro office would recommend.
