My Photosmart Brother HL2280DW inkjet printers were the
greatest printers I've ever owned unfortunately it's all for the most expensive
I can't say I've spent more on anyone printer and ink but I have on this one
but it brings marvelous photos but it's just too expensive to print you know
documents to soak to supplement my printing needs I have purchased the Brother
HL 2280 DW actually I would've never purchases printer had not received as a
gift of actually got a real estate agent who before she even took it out of the
box realized it was the wrong printer for business because she does a lot
before heavy printing so I worked a deal with her and while your lives before
habitus I was using a LaserJet 1022 and bought new in 2005 and eight never
placed the cartridge in it six years later it was still full only printed 1000
pages on it but anyway this is my very first brother product I've never owned a
brother printer before Robert shied away from brother was effective the imaging
drum and the toner cartridge.
As the HP or Canon designs they are all in one
unit fully replace the toner cartridge which is gray box for each year you
actually have to use the imaging drum with what brother actually to design
their products was a few feet higher quality or longer-lasting imaging drums for
you actually get maybe five or six toner cartridge replacements for every
imaging from your place at least that's the intention when the time comes even
geographical cost you approximately hundred dollars if purchased from brother
but that's okay previously I see it the amount of printing I do this machine
will probably last another five or six years at least that's what I thought I
hope I know one particular small business actually uses brother printers and
has for the past 12 years or so makes whereby so any it may be the best part
remember when I won't know that until something happens but anyway this is a
basic review of the product when I think of it my initial impressions and have
to say I'm very impressed for coming off of a long stream of HP products this
is a pretty nice departure casings to more thoughtfully designed although the
paper output tray is little awkward to use show you what I mean me go ahead and
photocopies as part of the process and show you
just how fast this machine is
your ego make one copy razor-sharp but if you notice printing out at only 30 or
40 copies of hectic in reaching your to grab the paper so what brother has done
is they've thoughtfully giving you this feature here to larger raise flatbed
which gives you full access to the output tray you like about the arbitrary
design visit in the windy environment where you have fans or open windows in
your office on the paper will lost the tray in fact will be right here for you
to grab your dreams this is also my very first duplexing printer,so I have
prepared a document and going to printing double-sided documents and mentioned
how easy it is to use the duplexing feature now this is a made-up resume and I
want to go ahead and print this in duplex mode in for a checkup to sponsor here
two-sided print watchlist.
I have used duplex printers before but I've never
owned one is that printing and here comes the second phase since he was a
vacuum in France the other self management double-sided of quick and easy and
fast another interesting feature of this printer has been having seen any HP
products yet is it when friends and envelope it actually has to open the rear
door first in does that to prevent the envelope from being blown through the
output tray roller and effective that is a heavily curled envelope and on some
envelopes will have peeled and seal strips in the back those scripts can get
caught in the rollers and pretty nasty mess for so this one has written right
into the driver in actually tells you to loan to open the rear door for space
he envelope ran out the back of annoying if you ask me but if it saves me a
little bit hassle it's okay interesting how the envelope in front and these
guys are fully adjustable paper tray is a leave about 250 pages and capacity
about one fourth a dreams paper and it will only accept up to letter size but
the drives are fully adjustable sleep you have any concise papers some reason
repair is simply interesting to see how durable this printer is over the course
of a few years had a trouble-free life with my HP hoping I have the same with
this before I paid can't be beat at the good thing is with this particular
printers and will accept a high-capacity cartridge like this and this cartridge
can be had for around $60 between 60 and 70 bucks this was actually given to me
by the person who gave you the printer she bought it for the printer had no use
for solutions that hear brand-new high-capacity is an off brand but I've had
great luck with offspring partridges of mage fees so I holding the same one
from this one reason.
I like this printer is that it has of the automatic
shutdown feature which might LaserJet 100
did not have my light bill which was
quite high for a few months before I realized what was going to that printer
was not shutting down it was actually standing on the entire time I was powered
up even though it is a black-and-white printer and a black-and-white copier is
in fact a built-in color scanner as well as our focus up to the USB port on my
computer I could use it as a color scanner because my Photosmart printer my
dedicated scanning machine I won't be using that feature at all overall haven't
had any trouble with it so far I've had a number months now and very pleased
with them in the quality seems to be as good or better than my HP's work at
least for those the local low-rent units this is not something and recommend
free large business office as a network printer which is one of the reasons
real estate agent decided against it instead regard are nice high capacity
color laser that don't absolutely love and that took care of all the functions
in one machine originally she had an older model each peak colorways are one of
the stacks cartridge models is just a nightmare and weeks toner is it's noisy
and heavy is gone now all that was replaced by a nice Canon all-in-one color
laser box I obviously benefited from the transaction because this is quite cool
the duplexing feature can be turned off or on for copying so I had to say so I
hope you are enjoying this review and nothing else should know the power
switches in the back there is actually emphasized so sorry the most convenient
location is good that has automatic shutdown feature but if you're concerned
about parasitic drain this printer would be a heavy offender as it does remain
semi-powered up at all times but if you're that concerned can always shut off
want to offer it does have built-in wireless networking I don't use that
feature a personally preferred hardwired to my router works that much better
and never use wireless features like way, the map home that seems to be where a
lot of the printer manufacturers are going to doing both wired and wireless
printing but if you hook it up to wireless router it becomes wireless printer
anyway so there's no need for that feature anyway enjoy.
