Brother - MFC-L2900DW Wireless Black-and-White Refresh Subscription Eligible All-In-One Laser Printer - Gray

The brother MFC-L2900DW laser printer has a small footprint and looks good on the desk. The printer is lightweight and easy to remove from the box. After I removed it from the box, I removed all the tape which didn't take too long. I inserted the starter cartridge, powered it on, and connected it to my wireless network. Connecting it to my wireless network was simple and straightforward. Brother has made it very simple to do this through the printer’s touch screen. The touchscreen is bright and easy to read. Also, it is the most responsive menu system that I’ve seen in a printer. Thumbs up to Brother for not skimping on this as most printers have very slow to respond touch screens. For the initial setup, I downloaded Brother’s software and installed it on my Windows 11 desktop. The software install is very straightforward. It only took just a few minutes. I was up and running within a few minutes of removing it from the box. It comes with a starter cartridge which is easy to install. The standard cartridge has a yield of 3,000 pages, and also the drum has a yield of 15,000 pages. That’s a good yield compared to many that only have 2,500 page yields. After setting up the printer, the first print test page was out in two to three seconds. This didn't change with subsequent document printing. When the printer was in Standby, the time it took to power up and print out the first page of each document was the same, about two to three seconds to begin printing the document from standby. Duplex printing is reasonable. Of the duplex printers I’ve used, the MFC-2900DW is by far the fastest. The print quality from this printer is really good. The printer does a good job at making the toner adhere to the paper properly. Standard text looks really sharp and is of high quality. When checking out the copy feature, I printed out a document and made a copy of it. I compared the copy to the original print out. When comparing the two I noticed that the text of the copy looked nearly identical to the text on the original print out. Where I saw a noticeable difference was where it had some trouble with copying some lines that were on the original page. Lines that were on the copy were lighter than on the original printout. In addition, the bold text wasn’t as dark as the original. This is something that Brother could address with a firmware update, but as it stands, I can see a difference between the original printout and the copy I made of that. There are many features that it has to help with scanning to many formats such as PDF, MS Word, PowerPoint, etc. It also has scan-to-email, Google Drive, Dropbox, FTP server, etc. lt also has cloud secure print and print from email. For faxes, it has fax forward to email and cloud. This is something I have only seen in large expensive printers seen in corporate offices. People like me who work from home or someone needing a printer for their small business will appreciate these features. So far I've been really happy with the Brother MFC-L2900DW. The print quality, as well as the features of this printer has been really good especially from a printer at this price point. I really like the small footprint and how it powers up from Standby and prints out the first page quickly. Yield from a standard cartridge plus the yield of the drum makes this a good option for someone looking for a small printer for the home or a small office. I imagine it's going to appeal to a lot of people who are working from home and those who need advanced features to support a small office or small business.

As an owner of a small business it is vital that my printer work flawlessly all the time. I can’t afford to spend my time working on the printer. I had been using another brand of printer and spending far too much time working on it. I decided to try the BrotherMFC-L2900DW Monochrome Laser All-in-One. I love this printer. It is the first laser printer that I have owned. It uses toner instead of ink cartridges. Although it is just a black/white printer I find that I don’t really need color. The paper tray holds 250 sheets of paper and I find that to be the perfect number for my needs. I love the automatic document feeder. I was a bit concerned with the size of this printer because it is a bit larger so it takes up more space than my other one. I was always pulling out the other printer to reset it as it would not stay connected to my WIFI. So far This printer stays connected to my WIFI so there is no need to pull it out to reset it. I also love the 3.5 Color Touchscreen. It lights up and is easy to read. It is angled in a stationary position and that concerned me as my other printer had a screen that moved positions. However this one is easier for me to read and I do not need to reposition it. Brother thought of all my needs. The toner cartridge that comes in the package with the printer is high yield black so it prints up to 3,000 copies. I will not need to change it as often as I was changing the ink in my other printer. This printer prints so fast and is clean on the paper. I have no complaints at all! I love it. Brother has won my loyalty in small business printers. It scans seamlessly to my Laptop, MAC, iPad Pro and iPhone.
