Brother - HL-L3280CDW Wireless Digital Color Printer with Laser Quality Output and Refresh Subscription Eligibility - White

I had never heard of "Brother" as a company. The name gives you the feeling they have your back. I must say out of the box this printer was very easy to set up. Which I enjoyed very much. This is an everyday performer with no thrills. After removing all the packaging tape and following the directions. I was printing within 10 minutes. The size is a benefit because it doesn't take up much space. It's not too bulky or heavy. This is a Printer, not a scanner or fax. It comes with a touchscreen that is simple to use and read. Even though the screen is small you can still easily view the icons. There is only a power cord that comes alongside it. I do wish it was longer. After updating the firmware which didn't take that long. I connected it to my Windows laptop. It was the simplest Printer I had ever set up. Connecting it to my wireless connection also was a breeze. I know most people don't print much these days with emails and stuff. Yet, when you need to print important documents this will work! The response to Print was fast! I was amazed at how it sent a signal that quickly. The Printer was not very loud as well and not distracting for my taste. I think it can print 27 pages per minute. Not sure if that is fast by today's standards. My prints in Black and White looked amazing. My color prints looked good as well. There is also an app to download where you can print anywhere. I just didn't see a need for it because the setup was so simple and easy. At first, I didn't like having to remove the cartridges to remove the package plastic. Now I see the benefit to it in case you ever have to replace them. It was very intuitive and easy. I see this Printer lasting a Long Time!

This printer is horrible for printing product labels. It prints on regular paper great but when I printed the labels it turned out horrible. The labels are for laser printers, but apparently it doesn't support what I need to do. I just purchased it 2 days ago. I'm going to return it and try the Epson Inkjet. I purchased this printer because of the reviews. The first pic is printed on regular paper. 2nd pic is printed on laser label paper.

I've purchased a few different printers in the past, but I have always ended up with my dependable Brother printer from 2007. I know it's going to work flawlessly, where other printers have assorted jams and connectivity issues. I recently decided to upgrade for my home office as I have had many large reports to print for meetings as well as kids who needed a printer for school projects. While I didn't "need" an upgrade, I'm really glad that I did. The Brother HL-L3280CDW Printer is a work horse -- it has a lot of great features but not only does it work, it's FAST. I didn't consider how much time I was waiting for my printouts until I received my upgraded Brother printer -- I have 20+ page reports that are complete within a minute. Additionally, while reviewing my reports, I like to print 4 pages onto one sheet to make my review easier. The print quality with this much smaller font size is perfect. These are my favorite aspects of this printer -- and while it has many other great features (touch screen menu, print from phone, large print tray, toner delivery service), I'll focus on these specific items that make it the best printer I've used (home or office) in many years. 1. It just works -- I entered the wifi code on the touch screen. On my laptop, I said "Find Printer" - done. Easy. Zero complications. 2. It has dual-band wi-fi connectivity. My old printer was one of the few items that used the lower band of my router -- it's just nice to have full security and as many items as possible on the 5Ghz band. 3. Print quality is perfect. I have even printed 6 pages to a sheet and each number comes out perfect (small but perfect). This helps to keep my toner costs down immensely. I can even dial down the print quality or print only Black and White to further conserve toner. 4. Speed --- it prints nearly 30 pages per minute -- exceptionally fast. 5. Duplex printing helps for meetings. 6. Size -- this printer takes up about 1 cubic foot of space -- it's nearly identical to my old 15 year old printer -- this is a huge benefit over many printers which are too big/bulky for my office. The HL-L3280CDW Brother Printer is a sleek looking, compact printer that goes head to head with much larger and louder printers -- and best of all, works every time.
