Brother HL-4070cdw Color Laser Printer with Built-In Duplex Printing and Wireless Interface

This printer was easy to set up and works well for our small office. It prints fast, quality pages.

I took delivery of this product last March. It took much effort to configure it for wireless operation - it was far from an intuitive process and required reading and rereading instructions and trying out various options.
But an insurmountable problem has been duplex printing. It now doesn't, after a promising start. The printer now gives an error message each and every attempt at duplexing. No fix seems to work.

But the worst of this is one cannot get a response from the manufacturer about how to solve this problem. Brother Inc. don't respond to enquiries.

On that basis I have to say this product is unsatisfactory. I'm glad others have had much better luck.

We bought this printer for a home office and are extremely happy with it. We wanted to upgrade from a black & white laserjet to a color laser printer. After research and reading numerous reviews, we settled on this printer. The price on Amazon was amazing and enabled us to get the duplex, wireless model for the same price as the base model. The curling of the paper mentioned in other reviews is minor and not a problem; neither is the noise level of the fan - the printer is right next to us and we can have phone conversations with no problems. The printer was easy to setup and use, and is fast; the color is fine. The one item we had to change was to establish a static IP address for the printer, since we turn the printer off every night. Otherwise, after startup the next day, a request to print would knock the PCs off the internet.

This printer is pretty simple to set up and get running. I use it for in-house sales materials and some packaging inserts, and it serves this purpose wonderfully. The colors can come out a little muted, so I'd still stick to an inkjet for comping purposes and I still use a commercial printer for high volume branded collateral, but for in house operations, simple presentation handouts and basic color printing, You can easily pay for one of these yourself after a few trips to the local copy place, and it performs exceptionally well for the price. I especially favor the duplex printing, which is why I went with this model over the other Brother offering in this class. I also like the fact that you can network it wire-free, but I must admit that I have mine set up through USB.

For the price, I'd say it's a good in-house performer.

Can be a little loud, but not a huge biggie unless it's set up in a customer service area where phone conversation is taking place.

I purchased the HL-4070cdw from Amazon and it arrived the next day in great condition, It is smaller than equally equipped competitors and it works great with both PC and MACs.
