laser printer

Advantages: laser printer
Disadvantages: bit dark on photos

...double the capacity and can manage a pretty amazing 6000 pages. Its quite a compact design, basically a black and silver cube with a few slots missing out of it. I wouldn’t say it looks great, but it doesn’t look horrible and at the end of the day it’s a printer, it does what its meant to do, and it does it well, very well in fact so a little compromise on the design isn’t really a lot of compromise at all. One thing it isn’t amazing on is printing pictures. Sure they do come off good quality, and the pictures are sharp however they just seem to come out a little dark as opposed to a good photo inkjet printer that have better colour contrast and print better photos, saying that though, I presume most people wont be buying this printer to just print photos on anyway, and its better quality in black ink and in...

Give your printer a proper clean

Advantages: Quick and easy, cleans well
Disadvantages: None

... Fargo Printer Cleaning Kit The Fargo printer cleaning kit is designed for Fargo printers. Fargo printers are printers that are designed to print on plastic cards, using a ribbon. In most of these printers it is nearly impossible to get into the inner workings to clean manually, and by design they get dust inside which makes for poor quality prints and eventually, jamming of the cards. It is important therefore to periodically clean your printer using a Fargo cleaning kit. The whole procedure will take you less than ten minutes and will have your printer back to life again as good as new in no time at all. In the box In the box are the following: * 4 Printhead Cleaning Swabs - these are moistened with 99.99% isopropyl alcohol and should be used for cleaning the printhead inside the printer. * 10...

Review of FARGO printer cleaning kit

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

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...

Review of Brother HL 1230

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...

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

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 HL 5250DN

A printer that really works!

Advantages: Quality of print, ease of use, compact, price
Disadvantages: Noisy, pricey cartridges, poor back up

...Printers, don't you just love them. Just as your multi page report for the boss comes to the last page, the ink runs dry or the paper jams. All the warning lamps are flashing like a demented Christmas tree & you haven't got the handbook handy. Yes, we all been there, trying to find a reliable printer is like trying to find an honest politician! My tried & trusted old portable HP Deskjet 340 printer had given me around nine years of fairly loyal service when it expired after printing its last page. It was small & portable, at the time this proved to be very handy as I had a small study & little space for a small printer let alone a bigger one. A new one was required but with so many people complaining about their printers which one do you buy? I wanted a printer with a built in scanner, I was now in a bigger house so the size...

Review of HP PSC1215 Printer

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...
