...cost approx £35 for genuine brother cartridges. You can get refilled cartridges for approx £25-30 also but my experience with refilled cartridges is that they don't last as long as genuine ones. The drum lasts for 12,000 pages or every 5 toner cartridges and costs around £55. Based on once used for 12,000 pages, this equates to a running cost of £230 when using genuine brother toners/drum or 1.92 pence per page. Which considering a lot of places ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap,reliable,good build qualirt
Disadvantages: Heavy. No colour

...I do like is that Brother give you device drivers on 3.5inch floppy disks. Many manufactureres dont do this. The printer itself it a heavy little beast .

I have had this printer running quite happily for a year and it has never let me down. There is an option to use this printer vias USB as opposed to ... Read review

Advantages: fast printing, consistent quality
Disadvantages: cost of toner

No reliability problems, no constant jams, and no wasting of ink- they would keep going on and aon until the cartridge was totally out of ink. The only downside- the cost of the cartridges- no problem- go to a refill place! beware though that the drums ... Read review

Advantages: Printer quality will lost for many many years
Disadvantages: please check my Drawbacks list with this printer:

I had brought this printer particularly to print my beautiful photos. Based on my experience the photos quality is simply superb. I have stuck few A3 size (bigger scenery photos) photos on my room walls without any laminations, already few months ago and I'm cleaning dust with cloth once in a while but still the photo print quality is very good, not seen even small shading on the print. I never had seen this kind of print quality in my life time. ...
...Drawbacks with this printer: • It takes hell a lot of time to initialize the printer (minimum 15 to 20 minutes) by this time your 5 to 10% of ink cartridge will become empty. • It consumes too much of ink and ink bags are sky high price. • After a few months the whole printer with full of aerosol ( full of ink) • Printing time is very very….slow • Very bad paper skew happens once in a while (particularly when you print ...
