4 out of 5 stars Brother HL-4070cdw Good Value   January 1, 2008

Amazon had this for a reasonable price and shipped quickly. Item was packed well, and the unit is fairly heavy. I used wireless set up feature and it captured a IP address so I can now print without cables so I keep it in a closet in my office.

Warm up takes about 25 seconds but then it prints quickly. This is not a very quiet printer when it is actually printing, but goes into standby rapidly when finished.

Color is good and the duplex printing feature works well too. Overall I am satisfied with what I got for the price paid.

Great so far. Works as advertised. This is not a great printer for photos but excellent for other graphics. Wireless is easy to set up. Duplex printing works great. Great buy.


5 out of 5 stars Easy setup for mac   December 14, 2007

I have owned this printer about 2 weeks now and love it. The unpacking directions were fairly easy to follow. I didn't have any problem following the configuration instructions, but they may confuse a less computer literate person because of the myriad of setup options. It took about 5 minutes to setup the print server on my wired network. I have 2 macs that print to it and both found it immediately after installing the driver. It also prints flawlessly via the USB connection. I was not able to get it to associate with my roommate's wireless router (some off name router with hacked firmware via WPA2), but it did print wirelessly via ad-hoc by switching my computer to the printers default SSID (no encryption). I have not had a chance to setup my linksys wireless router to see if it associates with that. The output quality is outstanding for a sub $400 printer; just don't expect the same quality as a $3000+ color laser. The speed is very good and the warmup time is minimal. If I have printed something within the same day, the first page is out 10-15 seconds from the time I hit print. It was hard to find, but the printer margins are 0.17" all around. Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this printer to anyone on a limited budget who wants good quality laser printing.


5 out of 5 stars Great Printer! Great price for a color Laser, too!   December 8, 2007

This printer is really nice for a small office. The duplexing unit is awesome, considering I print a lot of books. Having a bit of a problem with the wireless, but probably user error. :) Anyhow, I recommend this little guy for any office environment!


5 out of 5 stars Some weaknesses, but very good value   November 30, 2007

I was looking for a cheap color laser printer with a built-in duplexer. The Brother 4070CDW delivers that, with good text quality. The color quality is a little weak, but overall it still seems like extremely good value.

First the good:
* Black-and-white text quality is excellent: crisp and clear.
* Setup was very straightforward, with clear and simple instructions.
* It is silent when in sleep mode, and wakes up in around 15 seconds.

Minor weaknesses:
* Colors tend to be somewhat subdued. (For the price and the media, this is what I was expecting.) As is common with color laser printers, it seems fine for printing out web pages or powerpoint but not for any application requiring very bold or very accurate colors.
* Pages tend to get slightly curled.
* Double sided printing is significantly slower than single-sided. The documentation says around 20 sides per minute for single-sided, but only 7 sides per minute double-sided.

Overall, the 4070CDW more than meets my expectations. For $500 (less now!) I'm very happy with both the functionality and the print quality, especially for text.
