“Does this Brother MFC-L271ODW (or other laser printers) need to be used frequently to produce good prints--as it seems most inkjet printers do? Our inkjet manufacturer said printing 2-3x weekly is required, but we don't print that often...”

The Brother MFC-L2710DW does not require constant use to maintain its print quality. The previous answer explains this accurately.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Here is a definition from "Toms Guide" that does an excellent job of explaining the differences.: "Inkjets rely on liquid ink, deposited onto the page through a print head that uses dozens of micro-nozzles. It prints by putting microscopic drops of ink onto the paper. Depending upon whether that ink is dye or pigment based, the ink may change the color of the paper, or simply dry as a deposit on the surface of the paper. Laser printers, on the other hand, rely on toner, which is a powder. The "laser" in laser printing is used to generate an electrostatic charge, which is used to transfer the toner to the paper, which is then bonded to the surface of the page using heat." That is the reason inkjet printers need to be used on a regular basis otherwise the nozzles can get clogged if they are allowed to dry out.
