The 'best printer' category winner every year is whatever Brother laser printer is on sale during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale.
I have an 8+ year old colour Brother laser printer still going strong. Only had to replace the black cartridge for the first time the other week, colors all still going strong!
I can leave it unused for months & then just fire it up & print 100 pages with no problems whatsoever.
Wish I had it back in college/uni days when I had no end of problems with various crappy ink jet printers, even smashed one up I got so pissed off with it mucking me about back in the day.
Saying that, I think I’ve seen comments by others saying newer Brother laser jets aren’t as good?
Once upon a time I’m pretty sure all Brother printers were manufactured by Lexmark. That was back when Brother’s flagship products were their label makers. Which are still terrific. I have one that I still occasionally use.
But I think at some point it changed? Not sure. Most people I have known that had Brother printers would always say they were fine, satisfactory. A nice mid-range and mostly reliable product.
