This Brother HL4570CDW printer was purchased in May 2012 as the primary printer for our small office. Shortly thereafter we started noticing black spots on our printed documents. We called Best Buy and they wanted to be on the line with us when it happend, but since the spots occurred randomly and...

Once it gets going it prints pretty fast

Print quality issues; toner replacments & squeaking sound

It is far too expensive for what it is. And I expect it is a large size also.

Far too expensive

In most respects the Brother HL-4570CDW color laser printer is a good value. Its $500 price tag (as of December 16, 2010) is budget-friendly for small...

Excellent text output,

Lackluster photo

Overall, the HL-4570CDW impresses with its fast printing speed and low running costs. However, its colour accuracy isn't all that good, and despite its slightly faster print speed and the benefits of integrated Wi-Fi we think £200 is too much of a premium to pay over the more sensibly priced 4150...

Fast print speed; Low running costs; Integrated Wi-Fi and duplex printing

Expensive compared to the HL-4150CDN; Colour accuracy is relatively poor

The Brother HL-4070CDW color laser printer is not cheap, but it does have a lot of extras and upgrades that warrants the price. Unlike previous models, this newer version will allow wireless connection, duplex print and postscript emulation.

Expensive

In most respects the Brother HL-4570CDW color laser printer is a good value. Its US$500 price tag (as of December 16, 2010) is budget-friendly for small and medium-size workgroups, as are its reasonable toner costs. Its speed and features are competitive with those of the pricier Dell 3130cn .

The Brother HL-4570CDW is the next model up from the HL-4150CDN. The primary differences are that this model offers faster print speeds and the added convenience of Wi-Fi support. However, it's a good deal more expensive as it costs around £520 online, which is around £200 more than its sibling.

The HL-4570CDW may be quick to print and cheap to run, but its colour accuracy isn’t all that good and the £200 premium over the HL-4150CDN seems a bit excessive to us.

This moderately priced color laser delivers very good text print quality and multipage print speeds for small or home offices. Graphics prints and first-page-out speeds were subpar, however.

Text-only LCD; Printed photos had too much contrast; muddy look; Slow first-page print times; Noticeable hum after print jobs

In most respects the Brother HL-4570CDW colour laser printer is a good value.

A close cousin to the Brother HL-4150CDN ($400 street, 3 stars) that I reviewed earlier this year, the Brother HL-4570CDW ($500 street) offers faster speed and a wireless connection to justify the higher price.

Fast; Reasonably high-quality text; Paper handling suitable for a small office or workgroup; Ethernet and WiFi

Photos are below par for a color laser; with colors noticeably off in most cases
