The mono laser Brother HL-5470DW monochrome laser is the sort of printer that's most likely to wind up shared, but that you might also have designs on for personal use.

The Brother HL-5470DW monochrome laser printer offers good speed and features for a small workgroup. Here's our Brother HL-5470DW review.

This is a great Brother laser printer. It prints really fast and has excellent print quality. We just upgraded our office printers to this printer. They are a super good buy for the price.
