Advantages: Fast and Reliable. Reprint and Dual side functions
Disadvantages: Large Footprint, and noisy

...I eventually chose the Brother HL6050. Although this machine is probably the largest of the ones I looked at, it is by far the best. 42cm deep, and 31 cm tall. The Brother Hl 6050 is a mono laser printer, and cost me £299 from dabs.com. Incredibly quick printing, for the price (24ppm - pages per minute), and a paper tray which holds a full ream (500 sheets). You can use traditional cables, or USB or Infra red. I use USB, as this is very quick ...
...is the reprint function. If you have just printed out a document, and need another, simply press the reprint button, tell it how many copies you require, and press go, and they are reprinted for you. This can be very useful if printing from a document on screen which has crashed, or which you forgot to save. Another wonderful feature is the dual side printing. Gone are the days of printing side one, then taking the pages, trying to work out which ... Read review

Advantages: Good quality, duplex printing
Disadvantages: None

...options, I went for the Brother HL-6050D, although as I have a network at home, I should have gone for the HL-6050DN, oh well live and learn. I got this printer on line from Misco, and it cost me around £340, but looking around you can get it for anything from £315 up to £390. *** What's in the box? *** The box is rather large, about a 75cm cube, it weighs about 20kg. Opening the box, and fighting through the very robust packaging, you come across ...
...the AC power lead, a toner drum, oh and the printer!! The thing that really gets me about any of this type of peripheral is that you never get an interface cable, so remember to buy an Ethernet, USB or parallel cable. I went for the USB option; it is actually the High Speed USB2 that the printer supports. *** Setting it up *** First thing though, it is actually quite heavy, so take care when lifting, also the packaging is pretty big! Mine had ... Read review

Advantages: print speed, quality and so silent
Disadvantages: could look better

This Brother HL 5280DW is one of the top models from brothers laser printers. It offers very fast printing, great quality of printers as well as managing a range of different tasks and has lots of different features too. Its 266MHz RISC processor is what runs this machine to its current power and its 32MB of on-board memory, this can too be upgraded to a maximum of 544MB if you really need it. Also built into this is networking. You would expect ...
...it is effectively an office, or home office printer. This means that you can connect computers or laptops to the printer wirelessly so there is no need for those messy wires getting all over the place and connectivity is just simpler. The wireless networking built into the printer can reach transfer rates of 54Mbps. As far as design goes, this isn’t too bad. This printer should look horrible though, as all this printer is, is a simple white ... Read review

Advantages: wifi, screen
Disadvantages: 2 separate ink cartridges

...ago, i have always had lexmark printers, and i really liked the design of this one. It is an all in one, so a printer, scanner and copier, and the price ranges from around £30-50 which i think is reasonably good value for money. It takes two print cartridges, one black on colour, the numbers are 3 and 4 cartridges respectively, which are also fairly cheap. at between £13-18 depending on where you purchase them, I find the fact that it has separate ...
...just have one cartridge for both, as i personally use a lot more black than colour, so i only have to replace whichever one is needed as opposed to the whole cartridge, when there may still be colour ink left in it. It has an extendable tray which you can pull out while it is printing to catch the paper, and the buttons are easy to use. It was also very easy to install, with no major problems arising. It also has a good warning system of when the ... Read review
