Review on Enhanced Brother HL-L3230CDW Compact Color Laser Printer with Wireless and Duplex Printing, Amazon Dash Replenishment Ready by Damon Fields

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Excellent, high-quality mid-range color laser printer.

Really good printer. Works with minimal setup right out of the box. Installation was quick and I was able to easily set up the printer for my network and workflow. The built-in web server allowed me to set up the printer using my laptop instead of a small LCD screen (which was pretty efficient on its own). Prints fast and with high quality. Using Eco mode and Quiet mode slowed down the print speed, which greatly impacted the printer's noise (Quiet mode was as quiet as a typical inkjet printer). The print speed was more than adequate - when I got up to get my printout, it was ready. I didn't really notice the long wait for the printer to boot up and start printing. It's noticeably faster with Eco and Quiet modes turned off when printing a large number of pages. But for a case or two, I left the Eco and Quiet modes on. Print quality in Fine/Vivid color mode was comparable to any non-professional inkjet printer. Color graphics were acceptable in Eco/Quiet/Normal modes, but clearly not as good as the higher quality modes. AirPrint from my iPhone worked without any issues and required no setup. The printer is heavy so put a sturdy table on it. The only reason I give it 4 stars is the "entry level" cartridges they ship. I mean really, why can't they just contain regular full size toner carts?
