 Things I liked/Things I hated. June 6, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
We purchased a color laser printer last month to do limited mailings and brochures. After shopping around and reading reviews, I selected the Brother HL-4070CDW mainly because it was color, duplex ready, and cheap. I'm sorry to say that it hasn't lived up to my expectations.
Things I liked.
#1 Price $500 for a color laser with duplex and networking built in.
Things I hated.
#1 Consumables. Yes, the non-chipped cartridges have severe limitations over more expensive cartridges that have a microchip built in. When you print about 1700 pages with "highlight" color(less than 1% coverage on a page) the cartridges will register empty based on page count, not toner level.
You may ask how do I know? I took my full set of empties to the local "Cartridge World" and had them weighed, and cracked open. The findings: From 3 sets of empties, I was able to combine the left over toner to overfill one set with sufficient toner remaining to maybe get half a charge again when those run out.
These cartridges have an obvious mechanical limit to the page count, and will read empty while toner still is present. Just as a test, the guys from cartridge world did a mechanical reset on an empty cartridge to see if the printer was capable of detecting toner empty. Yes, once the empty (of toner), but mechanical sensor indicating full cartridge was installed it calibrated and was sensed as empty.
Footnote: If you get a refilled cartridge it may have started life as a starter cartridge. We didn't test this scenario, but if it is a mechanical indicator your refilled starter cartridge may never get beyond 1200 pages before tripping the mechanical sensor.
#2 Brother Support. 30 Minutes on the phone, and the person on the other end could not understand what I was talking about.
Overall, Now that I have a cheaper avenue to cartridges. I'm going to keep the printer until the service contract expires and then trade it in on something different/better.

 Excellent Printer So Far May 29, 2008
I've had this printer for a few weeks so I cannot comment on ink usage or long-term relability but I can say that it has been excellent. The wireless setup was easy and the print quality is great. I recommend getting a premium laser paper as the text and grapics will look brighter and sharper. This will not print pictures as good as a photo printer but I don't really care about that. If you want excellent text and graphics at a great price, go for this printer.
Brother Color Laser....EXCELLENT.....amazon.com....EXCELLENT Price & Service! May 24, 2008
Hewlett Packard look out. I don't understand why HP printers have the market share that they do. My HP 3030 laser dies last year, still under warranty. It needed a new motherboard.
This Brother Color Laser is EXCELLENT! Easy install, nice software piece to configure and came right up with hard wired and wireless devices. EXCELLENT Quality and SUPER PRICE!
Highly Recommend!
 Great Wireless Option May 12, 2008
This printer was easy to set up and works well for our small office. It prints fast, quality pages.
It's good but has problems May 9, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I took delivery of this product last March. It took much effort to configure it for wireless operation - it was far from an intuitive process and required reading and rereading instructions and trying out various options.
But an insurmountable problem has been duplex printing. It now doesn't, after a promising start. The printer now gives an error message each and every attempt at duplexing. No fix seems to work.
But the worst of this is one cannot get a response from the manufacturer about how to solve this problem. Brother Inc. don't respond to enquiries.
On that basis I have to say this product is unsatisfactory. I'm glad others have had much better luck.
