Customer Ratings & Reviews

If you’re looking for an affordable color laser printer, the Brother MFC-L3780 may be just what you’re looking for. It’s slightly faster and more configurable than it’s predecessor L-3770, which may still be available at a discount. It uses a different cartridge number, however, which means you’re stuck using Brother’s branded toner for a bit. Brother now offers a subscription program, however, which provides a fixed cost per page. The subscription will almost certainly be appreciated by business workgroups which is who this is primarily targeted to. Home users will appreciate the speed and quality. The scanner is fast and clear. It integrates very nicely with several cloud services such as GDrive, OneDrive, email, Evernote, and more. It’s equally adept at connecting to corporate cloud services and consumer ones. Different presets can be used for specific folders on the same service. It also supports multiple connections to the same service (i.e. GDrive for home, GDrive for work, GDrive for school). It scans both sides of the page simultaneously, leading to very fast processing of even large documents. It will automatically drop blank pages. It also does a great job deskewing pages, even if they scanned at a bit of an angle. Brother also makes a mobile app (both Android and Apple) allowing you to print from your device or scan directly to it, instead of the cloud. For printing, the first page out takes a little longer (~25 seconds), which is common for laser printers. Some time is needed to warm the fuser which fixes toner to the page. Once that’s at operating temperature, I measured subsequent pages at close to 30 / minute. Double sided is closer to 20 images / minute as it takes more time to flip the page than it does to spew new pages continually. For business users, Brother has added secure print functionality to this model. While configuration is a little painful, it can be set up so that print jobs start only when a given users logs into the printer. Key cards or fobs can be programmed into the printer to make the login process easier while maintaining the security. I would certainly recommend this as a unit which can serve your home well and grow with your business as well. Nice upgrade, Brother!

easy setup. Great quantity of print. easy fax. easy integration with phones

Purchased this for home use. I needed a printer with document handler for scanning many pages. Whether I'm scanning 1 or many, it is easy and quick. Printing from all devices on my home network works great. Before this was hit or mis. And I don't have to wait for an inkjet printer to decide it's ready, or always having a cartridge low on ink. I wait for this printer to turn on after being asleep and off it goes. Removing the toner is easy, just have to wait and see how long they last. I didn't purchase this for pictures.

Really like the Brother MFC-L3780CDW wireless Digital Color Laser printer. It was very easy to setup and connect to my network. It holds a lot of paper in the regular tray and the second tray can hold specialty paper for a special print job. It is very fast, the print is very clear. The only thing is scanning with the document feeder can get a little blurry.

Great features, quick setup. Good quality printing. The OEM replacement cartridges are expensive. Overall I am happy with this purchase.

The printer does everything I need! I can print from my phone, tablet and computer. Unlike my previous printer which often did not respond to my devices, this one is reliable. The print quality is very good and the scanner is excellent. I am very satisfied.

Easy setup, top notch prints. Very satisfied! Replaced HP color laser, fed up with constant non existent paper jams.

I had to get an all-in-one printer for a new office where there is a lot of printing and scanning. This printer does it all. The toner lasts a very long time, the print and scan quality is great for what we do and it was super easy to set up. in my opinion, the only cons to this printer are: 1) Even though it does hold a large amount of paper, I wished it had a second paper tray. 2) While the software is very easy to use, the software interface could look better. That's more of a personal opinion than anything else.

Straight out of the box I was impressed. This is a heavy duty printer. I needed help from my husband to get it out of the box. Once out of the box, all I did was plug it in the cartridges are already in place. It also has a landline telephone cable to plug directly into your router so that you don’t lose connection when using the Wi-Fi printing. Overall, this is a great printer for home if you have the space. Again, this is really big and not meant for a small personal office unless you print multiple times throughout the day. I will say the features of copying printing through your cell phone tablet and computer is super convenient. I’m not a fan of the cartridges being so big but they have to match the size of the printer and I don’t think I’m going to have to change those cartridges for a very long time. I can store hundreds of pieces of paper and forget about it after printing for weeks out of time. Set up is really easy once you read the instructions and scan the barcode , I think I will have this printer for a very long time. It’s a little loud for my taste, but nothing excessive

This was not the easiest to set up, but just follow the instructions exactly and you’ll get it done. Definitely not plug and play. When deciding on which printer to buy, I did notice reviews saying the printer makes the paper curl. I thought that sounded dumb and nitpicky, but the curl of the paper is actually a bit extreme. Not that usual slight curve the paper has when it first comes out. But after a while it stopped. I think it took a couple of months though. I don’t know what the cause was or why it stopped. But we use this printer for work purposes. It gets heavy use 4-6 days a week. It was a good choice and I would buy it all over again. But I have had issues with the app sometimes not working. I’ll go to print and will get a message the printer isn’t working but I go look at the printer and nothing is wrong with it. Also, I’ve had trouble with the app when it comes to installing software updates on the printer. It takes several attempts for it to work. Also, sometimes I go to log into the app and it will randomly say it doesn’t find my account. My phone automatically populates my passwords so it’s definitely a problem with the app. Eventually the app will let me log in…even if it takes several days. But outside of the app issues when updating the printer software and adjusting my ink ordering, this printer is great. We print over 1000 pages a month sometimes. We don’t get jams and the quality of the printing is great. Not a fan of the ink subscription service tho. Stay away from that. It’s a racket in my opinion.

I searched around for over 6 months for a great printer. I wanted to switch over to laser as I was tired of the ink cartridges. Drying up. And the cost of the ink cartridges we're just getting outrageous. I have to reviewing many Laser Printers. I came across the Brother printer. And we are extremely pleased with the quality. One of the main reasons. On getting this printer. Was the ease of connectivity To other items. We have been using the Quick Print. On the laser printer. And with the Quick Print the quality is just amazing. It will probably be over a year before we have to replace the toner cartridges. We highly recommend this printer. As we are done with pink Jeff printers and we love this laser job.

Printer is fantastic. Setup was easy, it’s working with my Apple tools natively. Print quality is excellent. It’s my 3rd Brother laser in 20 years and the multifunctional capabilities- like duplex scanning seal the deal.

Great machine for small office or personal use. There are a few things in the beginning ie; curled paper but this subsides with use. It is fast and quiet.

This is the second printer of its kind for my second office. Its reliable, easy to set up and connect to. The ink delivery is better for an office that is closed for two or three months a year without drying out. Its not a great photo printing but all else perfect for us. I recommend and would buy again

Amazing printer and a huge upgrade from an ink jet printer. Have done quite a few prints both using regular printer paper and card stock and it is fast and reliable. The only downside I have had is the bend to the card stock when it comes off the printer despite setting it for thick paper.

Love my new printer. Makes scanning jobs smooth and efficient. Prints documents quickly and with professional look!

This is the best overall printer I have owned. The set up was pretty simple. I will definitely stick with Brother products they do a great job. The printer is quick and prints clear. I absolutely recommend this all-in-one printer.

Love this Printer! Consumer Reports ranked this printer number 1 in the category for ALL-IN-ONE COLOR LASER PRINTERS and they were correct! Easy set up and connect. Prints extremely well and fast. Couldn't be happier after so many years of ink jet printers. Used for home & business.

So far terrific and no problems with installation. Also, I printed a photo on plain paper and it looked very nice, not quite photo quality but this printer is not for photos. The only downside I have found is when the toner runs out, there is no obvious way to reset the counter. None of the hacks online work as they revamped the display and buttons. However, I emailed Brother and they said you can reset the drum unit and this will reset the counter.

Love this thing, coming from an old Epson ink jet this is amazing. super quiet, very quick. and print quality is great. only thing I really miss from the ink jet is I had a large format that would allow photo printing of 13x19 paper, but this covers everything needed for an office like Legal, and normal.
