Brother MFC-9120CN Printer

Bottom Line

The Brother MFC-9120CN is a great multi-function printer for home or small office use. It prints at good speeds and is better suited for internal business documents and brochures than it is for high-resolution graphics.

Pros

Whether you have Windows, Mac or Linux, this printer is compatible on all these operating systems.

Cons
There is no automatic duplex feature; you have to change paper sides yourself.

Brother Mfc-7820n - Networking Printer With Super Quick Setup

The Brother MFC-7820N steps up user friendly networking capabilities found on many office level printers out there by making it network ready, the second you open the package. This plug and play type access makes it easier than ever to set your printer up to your current network for multiple users or, if you prefer, hook up a single computer via the USB or Parallel ports, and, for the maniac who absolutely needs a copy at the soonest possible moment, dont hook it up to a computer at all! The MFC-7820 can make a copy without ever being connected to a computer or network.

Faxing is another capability that the MFC-7820N is capable of as a stand alone unit, as long as you have a phone line available. The LCD display, standard keypad, and dedicated array of buttons allow you to navigate through the fax or copy menu without ever leaving this MFCs side. A built in 33.6 K modem will keep your outgoing faxes moving swiftly at a rate of about 2 seconds per page, or 30 pages in a minute. The fax also offers up to 208 total auto dial locations, and a huge 258 total possible broadcast locations, meaning you can auto dial and auto send faxes to hundreds of recipients without wasting your time with redundant faxes.

The built in 32 MBs of memory (sorry, its not upgradable) is to thank for the abundant internal digital storage capacities, including up to 600 pages worth of fax memory so entire manuscripts can be held safely at one time, or an array of different projects coming in simultaneously from your network, USB device, or fax line. You can even use the image scanner at the same time the printer is in use.

The scanner itself is quite impressive as well; it is color capable up to 24 bit, and can scan optically at 600 X 2400 dots per inch, or pull off an interpolated scan with a resolution of up to 9600 dpi. Furthermore, via a series of well labeled dedicated buttons, the scan to feature can send a single document or multiples to one e mail, or one PDF file. If your project weighs in at 35 pages or under, you can even use the auto feed tray to cycle through your work automatically for multiple scan or copy projects at one time, or a large fax.

Versatile emulation is a must when considering an all in one unit in this price range, and the MFC-7820N covers its bases with the included and compatible drivers for both PLC-6 and BR Script 3, making this unit usable with any Twain based software on both Windows and Mac OS systems, which can then be edited online, or adjusted for size directly from the unit, with enlarge and reduce ranges of 25 % up to 400 %. For the office that requires both a wide variety of features implemented into their equipment, along with the durability of a maximum duty cycle of up to 10,000 pages a month, the Brother MFC-7820N is a viable option.

Brother MFC-J265W Printer Review

This printer has the standard set of features I have come to expect from Brother machines in that it is a colour inkjet printer, scanner, copier and has a built-in media card centre. The big features of the printer are its wireless capabilities and the built-in fax machine. To be honest if the fax machine isn't a key feature for you I would recommend looking around for another Brother printer like a DCP-J315W or a DCP-195C.

Everything you need to get set up wireless (ink, software and power cable) is included in the box and it is as simple to set up as any other wireless printer. If however you wanted to connect the printer to an individual computer you will need to purchase a USB A-B cable and connect it via a port tucked in under the scanner bed.

The MFC-J265W has a very low profile but a slightly larger footprint due to its laser printer style paper tray instead of the top feeding paper the majority of manufacturers opt for. This compact design does not some without its setbacks however as the paper has to turn 180 degrees inside the printer meaning a maximum paper thickness of 220gsm can be used.

With a maximum printing speed of 27/33ppm (pages per minute) this is a pretty speedy machine and although if it will be used for printing photos in high quality you will find it slows the machine down substantially. The maximum resolution for prints is 6,000 x 1,200 dpi (dots per inch) and only uses four different coloured inks so it is not really intended for photographers who expect high-resolution or 6+ inks.

With a fax modem speed of 14,400 bps and 40 alphabetically sorted speed dial locations the fax should not disappoint. In addition the scanner is has a maximum resolution of 19,200 x 19,200dpi the same quality can be expected from the scanner/copier.

The cartridges used by the printer are exceptionally large for a modern inkjet and contain 29ml for the black and 20ml for each of the 3 colours. If you should decide to use compatible cartridges in the printer you will find it very cheap to run as here at Refresh Cartridges we sell them for as little as 1.87 a cartridge. Also as the cartridges are completely unchipped you can use them without your printer constantly reminding you that you are not using the manufacturers own.

In conclusion the Brother MFC-J265W is an ideal printer for a small office due to its high print speeds, low running cost, scanning copying and fax functionality. However as mentioned previously if a built-in fax machine is not essential for you then you may wish to check out some other printers in Brothers inkjet range. Whilst the build quality is excellent if you need a machine that will be printing almost solidly during the working day it is unfortunately no replacement for a laser printer.

Brother Mfc-9420cn - Color Network Laser Printer

For the small to medium sized business that requires the speed of a laser along with full color printing capabilities in an all in one unit, Brother offers the MFC-9420CN that not only functions quickly and easily, it does so in full, brilliant color at laser speeds.

When people think of incoming faxes they often think of muddy grey and white images with ghosting and other artifacts present on the poor quality reproduction. This simply isnt the case when dealing with the Brother MFC-9420CN. The high quality print hardware will not only keep your faxes crisp and clean, it can output them in color. Thanks to the 33.6K bps Super G3 fax modem your transmission speeds will reach up to 3 seconds per page, and the fax page memory can hold up to 400 pages worth of data in black and white or color.

Color laser technology can produce images not only in a full range of colors, it can do it quickly. The Brother MFC-9420CN can do it at a speed of up to 8 pages per minute and, if youre only printing in black and white, the hardware can output a swift 31 pages per minute. Whether dealing in monochrome or color, the print quality can be adjusted up to a stunning 2400 X 600 dots per inch resolution, which will make your text and graphics look professional, and color images eye catching. A standard on board memory of 64 MBs can also aid large individual print jobs or multiple incoming jobs in running smoothly, which is key when dealing with a multiple user network.

If your network is stressing the printer with a constant incoming bombardment of printing tasks from multiple sources, an upgrade in memory might be in order. The MFC-9420CN makes this more than possible with optional memory upgrades all the way up to 576 MBs. With additional memory, the fax page memory can also be turned up to 500 sheets.

Thanks to the Ethernet port its possible that your MFC-9420CN may be tested for stability. Not to worry, as the unit was built to last and boasts a maximum monthly duty cycle of up to 30,000 pages, though Brother recommends 500 to 2,500 and, speaking of stability, buyer should be warned, this unit is not exactly size friendly for a home office. The robust unit weighs a crushing 76.7 pounds! Thats almost twice as much as its black and white counterparts. The footprint is more like a tank track, measuring 19 X 20.2 X 21 in dimension.

The flatbed design also demands space of its own, if you consider accommodating a large flip open lid that requires airspace, and reveals a hefty, legal sized document glass that can fit a whole 14 piece of paper. You can imagine that youre not going to be tucking this one down by your feet under the desk. If your office has plenty of usable space, however, and you require a unit fully loaded with the best of what Brother has to offer, then the Brother MFC-9420CN should definitely be in the running for your color printer of choice.

Brother 8085DN Printer and Toner Review

The Brother 8085DN is a highly rated printer used by many medium sized businesses due to its impressive high output ability and multifunction. This device will show you what it really means to get work done in accordance to quickness, efficiency, tolerance and durability.

The high output of this company really allows a company to soar without costing a lot. This is because the printer is built to conserve energy.

This is a high quality machine printing at 1200 x 1200 dpi which yes is the same as a lot of other machines but with the combination of the rich quality of the toners it is unstoppable. Every print will look just as saturated as the last without overusing the ink. The toners last. This means that you will get your money's worth and then some out of each cartridge and also have the option to continue in black and white when a color runs out. This is so you do not skip a beat in your business during emergency situations.

If one color goes out in the toner that doesn't mean that they all have to go out. You can have one cartridge replaced while finishing off your other colors. This way you get the most for your money and reserve resources at the same time.

Overview

The Brother HL-1650 Laser Printer is the next step up in professional printing from the popular printer company. Its enhanced capability, expanded memory, and faster printing are all perfect for a small- or medium-sized business looking to rein in expenses while still getting high-quality prints. It is small enough to function in almost any workspace, but without ever sacrificing the quality and consistency you've come to expect from your printer.

Features and Functionality

Increased from the 15 pages per minute of the previous generation of printers, the Brother HL-1650 printer has an output of 16 pages per minute in black ink. Its dpi, too, has increased: this model has a dpi of 2400 x 600. The result is razor sharp images and text, with a range of gray scale graphic options for the most intricate monochrome prints.

The HL-1650 can also hold more paper than its predecessors: it can accommodate up to 350 sheets of standard paper, with the ability to print other types of media, including envelopes, transparencies, bond paper, and labels. It also has built-in automatic duplex printing standard with the machine, which comes in handy when printing two-sided documents with a perfect, professional finish.

This printer can use either the Brother TN560 toner cartridge or the Brother TN530 toner cartridge. The TN560 offers a better value with double the toner compared to the TN530 toner cartridge. Brother worked to get more out of each HL-1650 toner cartridge, as well: page yields for HL-1650 cartridges are bigger than in the past at up to 3,300 and 6,700 pages per toner cartridge. This translates into great savings for a business, and at just pennies a page, cartridges rarely have to be replaced for average business use, and costs for the Brother HL-1650 cartridges stay low.

Brother HL-2140 Personal Laser Printer - Affordable, Reliable Quality

If you are looking for a new laser printer and want to find a good quality but affordable monochrome laser printer, you will want to check out the Brother HL-2140. I bought the HL-2140 about six months ago and I've been using it regularly since then. I use the printer mainly for archiving documents and for desktop publishing projects. I have put the Brother HL-2140 to the test over these past six months and it has performed reliably and well.

I selected a monochrome laser printer based on my home office printing needs. I have an ink jet printer for those rare occasions when I need a print with color but for my regular daily office tasks I use a black and white (or monochrome) laser printer. I have been using an older HP Laser Jet 4M for the last decade but it recently had a part go bad and it turns out it is cheaper for me to buy a new printer than to repair the old one. So I went shopping online and discovered the Brother HL-2140. After doing some detective work on the printer, I decided to buy it.

The printer was easy to set up and begin using. From sealed package to first test copy, only 30 minutes had elapsed. The instructions and the CD-ROM software were simple and easy to comprehend.

The HL-2140 printer doesn't take up much desktop area measuring 14.5 x 6.7 x 14.2 inches (W x H x D) and it weighs 15 pounds. It is mostly made of plastic and while it is fairly firm, I would recommend opening the trays and other printer openings carefully as rough handling may result in breaking of some plastic parts. It's not made for rugged handling.

This Brother laser printer is fast (prints up to 23 pages per minute) and the paper cassette tray holds enough sheets (up to 250) to keep you ready to print at the click of a mouse. I find the laser printer to be much more economical to use than an ink jet and since I don't need it for color prints, this Brother monochrome laser printer suits my printing needs very well.

The starter toner cartridge seemed to run out of toner quickly but this is par for the course for consumer printers. I found information online on how to extend the toner cartridge's capacity and now, hundreds of sheets later, I am still using the original starter toner cartridge.

I paid $80 for the printer during a summer promotion. It can be found online for around $100, at the time of this writing.

I am happy with the Brother HL-2140 Laser Printer. Brother is a well-respected company and I have previously owned some of their other products, each of which gave many years of economical, reliable service in my home office. I am equally pleased with the performance of this printer. I recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable, reliable quality monochrome laser printer.

Blank Labels For Dymo 30915 Postage Printer

The United States Postal Service has seen many changes over the years, the least of which is the transition of it's customer base being able to print their own postage from a small label printer from Dymo via the Endicia Postage Printing service.

After acquiring a Dymo printer, an internet connection for your PC, and a subscription for an Endicia account to buy postage, you would think you would be read to go, correct? Well, not quite. There is one glaring omission that Dymo nor Endicia share with you. No fine print for you to explore. This only becomes apparent after you have committed to this practice.

I purchased a Dymo Twin Turbo label printer and subscribed to the Endicia web site so I could purchase postage. Quick, easy, I was up and running in absolutely not time. I was relishing the fact that I no longer had to stand in line at my local Post Office to do my usual business and that I could do it all from my desk. Anyone who has spent a moment at the Post Office during the holidays can relate.

I was very pleased until I ran out of blank media. The stamps that come with your Dymo printer consist of a roll of blank postage stamps - 200 stamps on the roll. When I went to re-order, I found I would have to pay $20.49 for a roll of 200 blank stamps. That's over $.10 per stamp. That adds 25% to the cost of mailing a letter!!! Unbelievable. It's a blank stamp for goodness sakes. Surely it can be had for less than ten cents apiece.

I investigated on the web. Goggled everything I could think of to find an alternate product. A generic product. A compatible product. Nothing. I could not believe that if I wanted more blank media I had to give up a $20 bill on top of the price of the postage itself. My margins are small enough without giving up another 25% to the cost of shipping.

I bought my second roll. For some reason it annoyed me even further. I just couldn't justify paying what is now actually $.51 per stamp just because I decided to walk down this technological path with Dymo. So, I rebelled. I researched the technical standards required to create these labels and decided that as my business grew and I consumed ever increasing quantities of these stamps, I could get a rapid return on my investment to purchase the dye and contract with a company that has the machinery already in place to manufacture these stamps for me.

After investing in the dye and manufacturing process to meet my own ends, I decided to share my savings with the rest of the world who I'm sure was having the same frustration as myself. With manufacturing costs, packaging, and offering free shipping, I can still sell these for less than 1/3 the cost that I had been paying.

We offer 33% more stamps (300 per roll to their 200 per roll) for 50% less money ($10 per roll from us vs $20 per roll from them). So, it's a no-brainer. More product, less money, what could be sweeter.

So if you want to print postage online, know that people are out there always searching for a better, less expensive way to meet those ends. The savings are always passed along to the consumer as that's the American Way.

Every printer comprises of certain basic components but at the heart of every printer lies the printer cartridge.

When at first you buy a printer you have to buy a new cartridge which can be refilled as and when required.

Printer cartridge is available in different price ranges according to the kind of printer you have. Laser printer cartridges are usually more expensive than inkjet printer ink. Therefore, it is better to opt for cartridge refills as it works out to be a more economical option in the long run, especially if you need to use your printer often for personal or business use.

Best Color Laser Printer A Review of the HP Color LaserJet 2600n Printer

If you're looking for the best color laser printer, it isn't unlikely that you come across an HP model, since the company is well known for its excellent printers. One of their fantastic models is the HP Color LaserJet 2600n Printer, an older model with very good features. This review will cover everything you need to know about this printer.

Design

The appearance of this laser printer is very unusual. It has the look of a small washing machine, and it's also plain white and silver in finish which makes it simple and easy to match with any home dcor. It has the dimensions of 14.6'' x 17.83'' x 16.02'' and a weight of 34.5 pounds. It has a nice and compact footprint and you can easily settle it on any tabletop or desktop. But it is a little tall so you can't keep it in a shelf or cabinet.

It has very simple buttons and a tiny LCD display which make accessing the device easier. This is an older model so it does not have wireless capabilities. You have to limit your distance from the main computer to this printer to the length of the wire that connects them. This is no problem if you only use the printer for a single PC, but if you have several computers that you need to access the printer with, then this is not the device for you.

Printing and Other Functions

This is not only a good printer in quality, but it also has great features such as printing speed. It can produce both color and black documents on letter size paper in as fast as 8 pages per minute or approximately 7.5 seconds per page. It has a true resolution of 600x600 dpi and the ImageREt 2400 produces 2400 dpi through a multilevel printing process. It also features manual duplex printing which allows you to save more paper and print brochures and flyers back to back easily.

It has two paper trays and the top output bin has a capacity of 125 sheets. You can add an optional third tray which is a universal tray that can carry up to 250 sheets for easier printing. This eliminates the need to refill the printer frequently and you don't have to pause printing just to put more paper in the feeder. The memory of the printer is 16 MB which is big enough for you to keep several documents pending or print a very long and complex document without problems of getting cut in the middle of the process. These features easily qualify this model as the best color laser printer.

The only catch about this model is that it consumer ink at a very fast pace, and even if you only use black ink, the colored ink cartridges also get used up. This can be quite frustrating, especially because the original cartridges of this printer are worth more than the printer itself. But it produces excellent output and it's a very good printing device so if you can overlook that, you'll definitely be satisfied with its printing capabilities. Other Features

This printer features the N-up function which allows you to print more than one page on a single sheet - a paper-saving function that can also reduce your clutter. It's also an Energy Star compliant device so you can be sure that it's energy efficient. Not only you but Mother Nature also benefits from the use of this printer in lieu of another.

Conclusion

There may be a lot of laser printers in the market, but the HP Color LaserJet 2600n Printer can stand out as the best color laser printer that you can ever get. If you don't mind the ink consumption and you're after the excellent printouts that this device can produce, then I recommend you get it now while there are still some sellers who offer it. It has already been discontinued by HP and only a few people can have the privilege to use it, and if you want to be one of them, then you better move fast and find a seller today.
