Best Med-size Laser Printer out there as of 3/20/07, March 14, 2007

This is the best Med-size Laser printer in the market. I was a big Hp fan. I own a small business and had the opportunity to try almost all med-size laser printers out there. This is by far the best printer ever. The quality o the product is amazing and the built is wonderful. I set it up in less than 10 minutes and was connected to the network in less than 15 min. The toner life is amazing and the speed is ipressive. This is by far the best med-size laser printer I've seen. Do not buy HP anymore. They lost their edge with bad quality printers released lately.

I love this printer. It's fast, toner life is amazingly long and the toner price is a lot lower than other competitors. Overall this network printer is the best value for your money. HP, Sharp are overpriced and worse in performance compared to comparable brother like this one.
I had both in the past. Both disappointed me badly.

I bought this Brother printer as a replacement for the same model which I had used for years and finally wore it out. This printer has proven itself to be fast, easy to use and very efficient. I sampled a few other printers when replacing my old one but this model had all the others beat when it came to quality, speed, toner and drum use, price and ease of operation. What more can I say? Brother has a loyal customer in me!
