I own a small business and I needed a printer to high volume jobs, including eye catching color, and a clean presentation. After speaking with a very informed salesperson at Office Max, I decided to go with the Brother. Well rated, quick output, and the consumables cost was also low. However, upon getting the unit home, I quickly noticed something annoying. The final paper product comes out of the printer with curled edges. Literally, the top and bottom edge of the paper stock comes out curled. If I set the paper on a desk top, the curl is pretty significant - just under thumb height.
I waited over four days on one batch of paper and it remained curled. I tried 20, 24, 28 and even 32 pound laser and color laser paper. No change. Now the paper path on the Brother machine is pretty acute, and combine that with the extreme heat and you have the result I discovered. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention another small glitch with this printer: the noise. If you plan on sitting this anywhere near a person (especially the right side of the printer), the fans are pretty loud, shattering typical office ambience. Besides these two issues, the printer networked easily. The setup CD was quick, painless, and easy to install on both my Mac and PC. Quality is high, with a solid build and unremarkable colors (i.e., fits right in).

I purchased the Brother HL-4070CDW Color Laser Wireless Printer when I was getting tired of paying for the ink cartridges in my HP DeskJet 6840, especially for ‘everyday’ home printing (online order confirmations, homework, drawings, etc.) I was also looking for a printer to operate on a Mac network. This one is great! The wireless feature allows you to ‘plop’ this thing down wherever there’s a power cord and setup is fairly easy. It’s a single-pass unit (e.g. color and B&W printing are the same print speed) and has duplexing built in. Does a ‘realistic’ job with color photos (not overly saturated).
I don’t think it’s too noisy as previous reviews have stated, but it’s certainly not as quiet as an inkjet. The cartridges are neatly laid out in a removable ‘drum’ tray, making changeout that much easier. I particularly like the LCD display with 3 backdrop colors (green for ‘everythings okeydokey’, amber for ‘I’m in maintenance mode, so don’t bother me’ and red for ‘Help!’. This screen tilts out so you can read it more easily as you walk by it. If you’re looking for a cheaper, water-resistant printout, especially if you need duplex, this is your printer!
