| |  | Electronics Brother HL-4070cdw Color Laser Printer with Built-In Duplex Printing and Wireless Interface |  | | | | | | | | | | Rating:  - Big RIP-OFF With the Toner!
I know this review is going to be buried, but I hope that you see it. What nobody tells you about this printer is that the three color toner cartridges ALWAYS all go empty at the same time, no matter what you've actually used. So expect a sudden three hundred plus dollar expense every once in a while. And it's apparently by some page count or something rather than actual usage, because you can't get it to accept the ones that you know aren't empty. I barely use any color at all, but they're constantly empty and this printer ends up being extremely expensive because of it - a real rip off by Brother.
Rating:  - A Perfect Color Laser for the Price
Purchased the Brother HL-4070cdw a few months ago from Amazon. I read all the reviews here, so there really weren't any surprises. Skip this one if you need high quality color work. You can adjust quite a lot, but colors still seem a bit washed out even for a laser. The paper curling has not been a problem with 24lb stock. Works great with the Mac. Even got wireless working using the home router. I doubt you can find a better color laser for the bucks. Very satisfied.
Rating: - Printer, Brother, + Service Center All Bad! Not Helpful.
I bought this printer back in Feb. 2008 based on past reviews from others and the printer's great features. Little did I know that 5 months later the printer would fail and not print anymore with some "Print Unable" message. After talking to Brother, they sent me to a service center near by to get it fixed. This printer is sooo heavy (70 lbs.). I knew it was heavy but I never thought I would have to move it. At least not this soon. The service center fixed it so it would print and I brought it home. Next thing you know the printer started printing with a yellow background and soon thereafter the toner ran out. I hadn't even printed 100 pages yet in color so the toner running out totally disappointed me. Neither Brother nor the service center wanted to take responsibility of the yellow background. Now I have to buy a new yellow toner ($50) and see if everything works. More to come. BUT DON"T BUY THIS PRINTER. It failed, service from Brother was horrible, and the service center they recommended was uncooperative. Bad all around!
Rating: - Excellent Printer
This was the easiest printer I have ever set up in my 25 years of using printers.Every printer should work this way.I set it up for a small company to work with both Windows XP and Mac OS X clients - both wired and wireless.It was a breeze.The duplex printing is great.The color printouts are really useful.It is not an ink jet so it is not great at photos (no gradients) but great for presentations and images look good but not smooth like a photo.Would buy again.Highly recommended.
Rating:  - Very Nice Color Printer
I can highly recommend this color printer. I have had it a little over a month. It is set up wirelessly. I have four computers in the house (2 PC and 2 MAC's). All are able to print seamlessly. The colors are a bit muted. They are no where near as vibrant as they show on my monitor. However, there are some color correction settings that I'd like to play with on the printer itself in addition to color setting inside the programs like PhotoShop. If I find that these settings help (particularly the ones on the printer) I will post an update.
All in all...if you're looking for a reasonably priced color laser printer that is wireless to boot, you can't go wrong here. Space isn't an issue...since its wireless, you could literally put it in a closet somewhere so long as you have a electrical outlet. If you are a designer or someone who needs precise color matching...this probably isn't the printer for you as you'll more than likely be disappointed.
