It aint heavy, its my Brother!

Advantages: Excellent print quality. Easy to use and setup, reasonabley cheap to run.
Disadvantages: slightly noisy fan when printing.

...After my 9 year old multifunction decided to chew paper regularly, I decided it was time to replace it. I decided to look for a cheap laser mutlifunction and after browsing different website, I stumbled across this machine at Inmac in its clearance section. It usually retails at around £138, but being an open box product, this particular machine was a bargain £82. On to the review of the machine...... BOX CONTENTS AND SETUP: On opening the box you find..... * The unit itself, * A brand new full size toner (good for 2,500 pages) rather than a starter toner you get with other brands. *Manuals and driver software CD. *Power lead *Some Free Polystyrene :D Setting up of the Brother DCP7010 was very easy. Firstly, decide if you wish to use the parallel port or USB port (cable not included). Then simply load the driver CD into...

Review of Brother DCP-7010 Multifunction

BEAST of a printer, scanner, fax & copier (phew!)

Advantages: A printer, scanner, copier and fax machine (phew!)
Disadvantages: It's heavy in size and in cost.

...What we have here is the Brother MFC-7420 Multifunction digital laser device. Try saying it in one breath. Go on, I challenge you to say it in one breath. Did you manage it? If you did then you probably deserve a medal, but then so would 'Brother' for managing to cram so many features and uses into one device. That is a challenge in itself, and I'd imagine it was far from easy to accomplish and keep the design as attractive as it is. I know what you're thinking though. You've seen plenty of other printers out there that also do copying, scanning and faxing. They may even have been a fair bit cheaper. This is true, but what this item has in its favour is the speed of the printing, the attractive design, the brand name 'BROTHER' attached to it and the hardcore feel of the product. It really does feel like something that would...

Review of Brother MFC-7420 Multifunction

Brother dcp115c printer, scanner, copier

Advantages: Excellent value for money
Disadvantages: Flimsy , need to handle with care

...headings make finding the relevent pages quick and the straight foreward language and diagrams make these guides simple to use , even for a novice like me!! I feel however that there are a few disadvantages to this machine. The first is that the machine has rather a flimsy feel especially the lift up top for the photocopier and scanner which isn't particularly robust. The second problem is the ink cartridges, these are all individual ie. a seperate cartridge for black, cyan, magenta and yellow. The cost for ink therefore can be expensive. Brother ink cartridges are not also as easy to purchase on the high street as some other makes although they can be purchased on the internet and i did notice yesterday that tesco has just started to sell the black cartridge for this machine. A third problem is that the cable to link the printer to...

Review of Brother DCP-115C Printer

Brother HL5240 laser printer

Advantages: Good all round laser printer, loads of pros
Disadvantages: very few, if any

...General & price: WOW, what a brilliant printer this is. Another great laser from Brother. I have had this printer for quite a few months now. I bought it for around £150 but the prices come anywhere between £140 and £220 from verious online retailers or some high street stores. There is so much i could say about this printer but it would take me ages to write it all and i'm not sure if i can handle it all. But i will right all the important parts. Design: The design of the HL5250dn is brilliant. In my opinion the best looking printer Brother have ever done. Most of Brother's lasers as well as many others on the market are just a neutral cream colour but this is black and grey which may not sound very appealing but when you see it, it looks great. It is a good size, simple printer that will fit into any office, school or home. It...

Review of Brother HL 5240

Great Multifunction Printer

Advantages: Small single office solution, cheap to run.
Disadvantages: Cant think of any.

...I use this machine in a small to medium business office and find it fantastic. It only take up a small footprint in the office and yet offer the capability for scanning, faxing. copying, printing from 2 computers through its network connection. However there are many machines which can offer this, but are they as cheap to run, this machine takes 4 seperate good sized ink cartidges meaning you only have to replace the one that goes done and not waste any ink. Previously I had used 2 other high profile brands of printer anf thhe brother costs a fration of the running costs, especailly when you shop for the cartrides online. I was so impressed with this machine that my business bought several to give away as christmas presents last year, and I have a spare one in the storeroom incase it breaks down. Some of its other features are dual...

Review of Brother HL 5250DN

Printer Breakdown Nightmare.

Advantages: Stylish, easy to use, slimline, space saving, very cheap inks
Disadvantages: broke down, JUST after WARRENTY had run out, colour print speed

...About a year ago I bought a Brother DCp 117c, which is allmost idetnical to the Brother DCP 117c. The unit itself worked very well, and was very simple to use and understand. That was WHILE it worked. JUST after the warrenty ran out, the print quality started to decrease, untill it could not print at all. We were told by a printer expert that the print head had broken. Addmittedly the printer had been used regularly for document printer and photocopying, but only the kind of use to be expected for such a machine. (After all it is advertised as an office product) Although Brother customer service were helpful; and took the printer away free of charge for repair, the bill was going to be £134! Almost twice what I had paid in the first place, and now even more. On Google Product search, (what used to be froogle), the lowest...

Review of Brother DCP-115C Printer

Brother DCP-115C / DCP110C

Advantages: high quality prints
Disadvantages: far too many errors and problems..

...My first DCP-110C lasted just over 6 months and was replaced by the newer model DCP-115C. All seemed fine and dandy until around 10 months later started having problems again. This printer is a superb all rounder and creates brilliant pictures WHEN IT WORKS.. Had my first printer not been replaced I certainly wouldnt go for a brother again. I was attracted to it due to the cheap inks available as my last printer a Lexmark (which was simply amazing) was just far too expensive for ink. The DCP-115C keeps failing every so often and when you are lucky enough to get it working(when its in a good mood) you will be pleased with its results. The main fault I am getting now (again) is with the inks. It wont accept new inks for some reason and I have tried numerous cartridges and searched Brothers site for help yet nothing is working yet again...

Review of Step Brothers

FANTASTIC BROTHER HL-1230 BLACK & WHITE LASER PRINTER

Advantages: TOTALLY RELIABLE, VERY ECONOMICAL, UNOBTRUSIVE
Disadvantages: NONE

...My daughter bought this printer for her office (she does accountancy & bookkeeping) about SIX years ago. She upgraded to a more powerful model after two years (Brother of course) and we now have the original as the main printer for the main home computer - it is black and white, but we don't have any call for colour. Having, in the past had FOUR so-called excellent printers, by HP, Lexmark, et al , which required ink cartridges, I can only say that the Brother HL-1230 leaves them all standing at the starting gate. It is only on its second toner cartridge and we do a fair amount of printing. There is also the fact that with a laser printer there are no ink cartridges to dry out. The initial monetary outlay may be a little more but is more than compensated for by not having to buy ink cartridges, which do not last anywhere...
