Colour graphics isnâ€â„¢t the Brotherâ€â„¢s strong point, but in most other respects it impresses. Text printing is fast and strong, with the versatile duplex facilities genuinely a practical means of cutting paper costs. Add the long list of interesting settings and menu functions, and this is a laser thatâ€â„¢ll give capable service to many a small or medium-sized business.
Brother’s move into the mid-range colour laser market looks well set, if this printer is anything to go by. It's well up to the main competition on speed and print quality and, once we see its consumables at discount prices, is likely to show similar running costs, too. It may not have some of the bells and whistles of its competitors, but the relatively keen pricing compensates for this. The most useful extras such as secure print and direct USB print work well, giving a sound combination, overall.
