CustomerReviews
Great laser prints for the money
I had read a so-so review for this printer online so my expectations were low when it arrived. But when I printed the color demo sheet after setting the printer up, my doubts vanished. It prints color very well and the text is sharp and clear.
I also use an Epson all-in-one ink-jet printer in my home office, and the Brother laser printer is definitely a better printer. However, it isn't always tremendously better; unless you were holding print samples from both printers in each hand to compare them, you might not notice the difference when printing text-heavy or grayscale pages.
I'm a graphic designer and illustrator, so having that extra bit of quality is important to me. If you're just printing black-and-white text all the time, however, a less-expensive multifunction ink jet with a scanner included might be the way to go.
The cartridges for this Brother printer are pricey, but that comes with laser printers from all manufacturers. All in all, I'm happy with this printer.
HERE'S HOW TO FIX THE TONER "OUT" PROBLEM
Read the other reviews for details about this printer.
My problem is that I printed a few hundred pages and then the printer reported IT WAS OUT OF TONER. WTF? The "starter" toner was supposed to be at least a few thousand pages.
I made the mistake of buying a new black toner cartridge. Then after it printed a few pages, it said the magenta cartridge was out of toner! I was trying to print black! This printer has a serious problem of not knowing when or if the toner cartidges is either out of, or completely full of toner.
After I found this trick, I got another 1,000 pages out of that "empty" toner cartridge.
Here's how to fix the problem (quoted from someone else but it really works... you can Google this problem and it will say to put electical tape on the sensor, but that does NOT NOT NOT work with this printer. Only this will work):
Toner Reset Menu for Brother HL3070:
1. Open Cover where you access toner cartridges
2. Press CANCEL & SECURE PRINT buttons at one time and you'll see the toner menus on screen
3. Press + or - to navigate through to the toners you need to reset. Hit "Y" to reset the toner. Scroll through and repeat for each toner color as necessary.
4. Hit OK button when prompted.
Reset menu for the durable parts counters:
1. Open cover where you access toners
2. Press GO and + button at once, you'll see menu come up displaying reset counters for drum, fuser, etc.
Brother SUCKS for trying to make you buy a new toner cartridge when there is absolutely nothing wrong with the one you have. And then trying to hide this information from you. I won't buy from this manufacturer EVER AGAIN.
a little disappointed
Frankly I am a little disappointed with the printer. I did a lot of research and thought I had found the right one. It was rated a top performer. As long as you are using regular paper it does fine but I wanted a lazer printer so my ink wouldn't run. I like doing alot of diferent projects that require a lot of different papers. This printer has an opening in the front where you are suppose to insert the special paper and it barely works you have to mess with it alot to
get it to suck the paper in and as for trying to print on the back side of a piece of paper that has already run through the machine FORGET IT! I also am having a hard time finding specialty papers for it. I ended up having to by lazer photo paper on line because no one carries it in the stores.
Very, very good printer
I purchased this for the home office. It was extremely easy to set up. The wireless convenience is amazing, especially with two laptops roaming around. It prints fast enough and the color and quality is impressive.
Great Color Printer for the Home
I have been looking to replace my HP Photosmart inkjet printer for a couple years now. Although I enjoyed the photo capabilities of the inkjet, it just didn't do it when I needed important black & white copies or color copies of my excel financial workbooks. I wanted a color laser printer but not at the expensive business prices plus it had to be wireless, network ready, & both Mac & PC friendly. Until I saw this Brother printer, no home color laser met all those requirements.
I was a bit apprehensive with this purchase since I had always owned HP printers & respect their reliability. But I have been using the Brother printer for over a month. It has far exceeded my expectations! Once I got rid of the cheap inkjet paper & replaced it with higher quality laser paper, the print jobs really shined. It is both a joy to print out my work financial statements in color and print jobs for every day use. I recently printed out my tax returns & enjoyed the laser black & white capabilities sorely missed with the inkjet.
This is the perfect printer for a home office. It is built like a small tank too (nothing cheap about the quality). Although I was a bit put off having to buy four print cartridges (at $40-$50 each), after shopping online I found some good buys. Plus, the output is more than double from anything you get from inkjet cartridges. The only thing it can't do are photos. But, I kept my HP inkjet for those jobs. I highly recommend this color laser printer (btw, Brother calls it digital color LED print technology).
