    Just ordered this printer for like $230. Really looking forward to finally being able to print nice color product labels. Loved my monochrome Brother printer this printer will be replacing.

    i like laser printers for the fact that if you dont use it for a year it will still work like it would on day 1 but with inject printers if you dont regularly use them they will jam up and need to buy a new ink for it, not only that the amount of printers you get out of a laser printer and the cost to replace it is just 100% better

    Go to device manager/printer/right click-hover run as admin and right-click/properties/edit preferences/change from document type mixed (default) to photo.
    Enables printer for A4 photo printing.
    If still have slight issue repeat process but change colour mode from monitor to printer.

  • @kevinmonceaux2101
    @kevinmonceaux2101 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    That's not a laser printer. Instead of using a laser to draw the images on the drums, the bars under the top cover that fold out of the way when the cover is opened contain arrays of LEDs that draw the images on the drums.

  • @camelCased
    @camelCased 5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Thanks for the video.
    Just curious, what are Brother product longevity policies? Do Brother keep their cartridge form factors for years or do they change them often, thus rendering some of their older devices useless because you cannot buy the cartridges anymore?
    Also, can you print black&white only, in case if you do not replace color cartridges when they are empty?
    Do Brother cartridges come separately from drums, so I don't need to replace entire drum when I need to replace the ink only?
    What are their openness to third party replacements?
    I currently have a HP PhotoSmart series printer+scanner. I print rarely but when I need it, it's usually something urgent that I need NOW. And, as you could imagine, my main complaint is that I always discover the ink has dried out.
    The HP cartridges for my specific model are difficult to find in my local shops (sellers grunt about my device being such an old model), and also are very expensive, if I compare to laser cartridges.
    My device is 8 years old, and for HP that's enough to consider the device obsolete, so they can change their cartridge form factor, so they do not fit my printer anymore. Sigh.
    I could go to some print service, but I live in a small town where people are nosy and I don't want to show some random shop assistant my private documents. Also, I'm handicapped and don't have a car.
    So, when my HP unit dies (or even sooner) I'm considering to replace it with a laser printer. But I'll look for something with an inbuilt scanner.
    Brother has always been a reputable printer brand; hopefully their support and attitude is friendly to customers' wallets.
    I've also looked at Samsung and Canon. It's not that easy to find a cheap, small laser printer+scanner. Again, HP offers a nice model M180N, but it has a dreadful notice: "Dynamic security enabled printer. Only intended to be used with cartridges using an HP original chip. Cartridges using a non-HP chip may not work, and those that work today may not work in the future."
    No, thanks HP, I don't support you for such a policy.

    • @geekanoids

      Not sure about third party, but most toners are separate and very economical to run.

    Thank you so much for the information. I wish I would have ran into your video before purchasing this brother printer. I wanted to print photos and this is more for documents. I was having a hard time printing my 4X6 photos and I did not even see an option for this size paper on my settings. I guess now it makes sense that it was not even designed for this. Again thanks for your review.

    What I need to know is the long term print quality. Nearly every laser printer will put out good results. What happens to the machine after putting out thousands of printouts. What issues pop up like spots on the paper, shadow printing and other common issues with laser printers. You've done a pretty good review here, but it doesn't help much in deciding to invest several hundred into a printer only to hind out later you should have opted to buy a different brand. Are you planning to do a long term review of the machine or is it just a loaner? I own a Brother HL-3290 CDW after owning a Canon MFC laser. Not sure if I made a mistake switching to Brother or not.

  • @lif3ingreen
    @lif3ingreen ปีที่แล้ว +2

    hello!
    what I'm always interested in as a graphic designer is not only the printing resolution but the quality of the raster /is it randomized /is it square? Sadly the factories never produce any type of information about it, although it would be both easy and helpful to provide a high quality scann of a portion of an image. I'd be super interested if you could provide this before I decide to buy it. Or have you heard of any place where such data could be found?
    Best!

    • @geekanoids
      @geekanoids  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This is a great question. I come from a graphic design background too. I am pretty sure it is more randomised if the printer use the postscript language. From memory I am sure this model is rounder more rasterised. I do not know of any websites that report on this.

      Good to know. Thanks heaps for replying.
      After watching your video, I read a heap of reviews, from the only Australian seller of this printer. I know people are much more likely to post a review about a bad experience than a good experience, but about 15 out of 20 reviews were bad. People mentioned known hardware issues and very poor colour photo printing (as you touched on). It looks like I'll have to fork out and buy a higher end commercial colour printer, if I ever want to print decent photos. My old Samsung CLP-320N did a decent job of photos, but it's 8 years old and seems to be only useful as a paper weight, now.

    I'm fed up with inkjets and especially Epson inkjets. So having never had a laser printer can you tell me if the printing costs are less?
    I'm £70 for a set of cartridges and that's a lot considering they never last long and sometimes they dry up before they are empty.
    So I print 98% monochrome and the occasional colour. Never need photo quality printing.
    What do you think of something like this for a home printer?
