Can’t beat it for the price.
In desperate need of a new laser printer, I found the HL-4070CDW printer on Amazon on sale for like $420 with free shipping. My last laser printer was a free one from Dell that I got with a new computer. Stupid thing always sucked but lately it’s been sucking more than normal.
So I check out the specs on this thing. Color laser. Eh? I remember when color laser printers were like $5,000. Built in wireless? This is even possible? Man, I’m old! Sounds to good to be true but I order it anyways. Free shipping. How can I lose.
So I get the thing out of the box. It’s pretty large and heavy. I install the 4 toner cartridges (3 color, 1 black) and turn it on. It is a little noisy when it’s powering up and when it’s printing something. But totally quiet in sleep mode.
I get the printer working from my primary computer, then I remember it has a wireless feature. Oh mama, I gotta try that. So I follow the instructions - which are a little confusing as most Brother products are but the wireless setup happens within minutes, working with my wireless router. I get an IP address on it, the computer finds it on the network and it prints. No real delay in printing either so now I can quickly give any computer access to a printer without having to use cables. It’s the 21st century around here!
The printer is pretty fast, I’d guess it around 20 pages per minute or so. There isn’t much of a delay when it prints either. You send the job and it’s printing in seconds - unlike my Dell, which took about 3 minutes for it to wakeup and start its job.
I’m very impressed with the printer. A very good buy, I believe, all in all. The noise while printing is a little much but expected from a printer. Looks like I can also buy a lower paper tray so it can hold 1,000 sheets instead of 500 sheets of paper. Very nice.
I’d definitely recommend this printer to anyone looking for a new laser printer. Very impressive.
