Mono laser printers are still the mainstay of many small and home offices. Although new models are more evolutionary than revolutionary, a reliable printer, producing good quality print at a reasonable price is still the core requirement of this type of use.

Small footprint; Relatively high print speed; Reasonably quiet

Hard to read paper readout; Higher running costs than rivals

My previous printer was not a Brother printer and I am thrilled to say that my new Brother printer is easy to use, far more reliable and much faster than the one it replaced.

Excellent service and feedback, competitive price. I also welcomed suggestions volunteered for possible alternative printers. Next day delivery was useful and included in price
