Very good printer with lots of features. The only downside is that I received it with a cracked touch screen. It's a shame for a product at this price.
Chosen because of the reasonable cost of consumables.
Replaced a Konica Minolta colour laser duplex printer, for which the consumables were becoming unobtainable, even when filling the toner manually, + changing the chip.
Recurring problem with colour lasers, like many printers, one is seduced by the reasonable or even low cost of the beast and is very disappointed by the cost per page (hence the success of large tank inkjets).
Very happy with this one.
Very good printer. Full duplex function for scanning and printing is practical and functional. Recognised directly under Apple and PC hardware. I recommend it.
I was able to get help from Brother's helpdesk despite an error code at start-up. I am very satisfied with this product.
