Hi !
Perhaps " J " above has given the answer originally sought 12/8/22. (Hope to hear what was selected then and if now still being used in 2024) He has a great list which WA has undoubtedly considered while making his choice. Perhaps another has the same question in mind. We continue the thread with some comments on that list.
We own the MFC-L2750DW (first out 2017; still available online, but remarketed by Brother who now sells it in the XL version only) and recommend it to those needing to do:
- - -a lot of monochrome print output (Only it and the equally fast HL-L2370DW, also in our tiny fleet, accept the 4500 page TN-770 carts. This one (and the Hl-L2350DW) is now discontinued but available online as "new" old stock or as "pre-owned". We'd place it higher on the list than the HL-L2350 because it is faster and accepts the high yield cart. All three are highly rated models by PC Magazine and others.
- - -"duplex scanning" for copies or faxes
- - -"duplex printing" for booklets, reports, flyers, etc. to save paper costs
- - -Mono print speed of 36ppm
- - -Popularity: lots of users of these three models best for consumers wallets.
- - -Three cartridge choices instead of two. Many models that use them = better prices for users of new and compatible carts. from many many online vendors.
- - -Longevity: They go to 50,000 pages. We've heard of little used examples still operating after 12 years with the same cart. and we witnessed a print counter display of over 65,000 pages on a well maintained example. One c an't go too far wrong with Brother above recommended by "J" for home or small office.
HP is a great laser printer choice too, but perhaps less attractive than the three mentioned due to costly consumables, added weight and restrictive s/w. Older HP on the list are OK for refill powder or compatible cartridges, but the newer "e" models ONLY work on OEM carts. and cannot be used unless online. All our printers are dedicated: i.e. connected via usb cable directly to pc. Security is less an issue with us: fewer hands have access so carts. need not be OEM. Considering resale, we think that the option to do refills would interest a majority of prospective buyers when replacement time comes, and that interest could grow with the page count. The option for toner subscription is transferable, but cannot start on a use machine because a warranty commitment by Brother comes with it.
With regard to where to find information needed for one's decision what to get, this forum was a great start. One can also get reviews from places like PC Magazine, Amazon popularity and comments. When you get to your top three choices, check out the manufacturers sites, which differ in how they work, but all offer pertinent facts for your comparison spreadsheet. Brother, for example has a comparison function so you can look at 4 columns at a time. The facts that it is the US largest seller results in a slow online experience, but it is probably worth the time spent.
Before you buy online, check out the model at your closest retailer or dealer. Maintenance people some of which are kind enough to share the wealth of their experience appear from time to time on this site: ask them here; or at justanswer, etc.
We've found a lot of jam complaints for a lot of printer users. Yes, all printers jam: BUT THE BIGGEST CAUSE IS FAILURE TO FAN THE PAPER, wrong paper, overloaded feeder, dirty or worn roller all user stuff that may contribute to one's difficulties: keep this in mind when examining reviews. We use Boise X9 and Hammermill Copy Plus. We have used well fanned (bowed up and bowed down) recycled paper for drafts(in a unit dedicated to drafts only): it has not jammed, but we will be cleaning the paper dust out more often. . . .so after you have spent what might be an ungodly sum on your ready, set, go printing adventure, PLEASE consult service manual (& tech) and religiously clean the INSIDE of that thing, keep the gears lubed (light silicone grease, we hear) and the rollers wiped clean. (and consider spending $10 more for a case of quality paper, which may save some cleaning effort: can't know until you put it all together in your own routine. You'll come to know what is needed as you go along: establish from your own operation the maintenance you schedule and adjust.
Take the time to look online. Pull a copy of the pages labeling the parts of your device so you can ask detailed questions. We are all just learning, hoping to learn more. One needs details. The better the details the better the answer.
What about when noisy device is not pumping output : one might investigate the need for a dust cover: sunlight through the window should reveal the culprit, if present. Wise to protect your investment.
Finally. some may opine we too have strayed "off-topic" to which we'd add that a prospective buyer / user needs to have "the whole picture" : good, bad, ugly. Could be one would opt to forego this whole mess and use the service at the public library. The choices are many and perhaps seem quite complex. If we have left something out or made a misleading comment, please advise in a constructive manner. Perhaps it would be more helpful to put each of these machines in its own thread so users of each might share positive experiences in their use as well as seek answers when glitches come up.
If you have waded through this for you time and attention we . . .
ThankYou kindly
