Brother HL-L3210CW Toner Cartridges

Expert Verdict

Brother has a wide choice of color laser printers, with the HL-L3210CW being one of the most cost-effective. It isn't particularly attractive - it's just a giant white box that can churn out a large number of prints at breakneck speed - but it's fairly priced and doesn't cost the earth to run. With Brother HL-L3210CW Toner Cartridges and an LED array in place of a laser, this printer is an entry-level color printer that delivers the same high-quality prints as laser printers. It doesn't have any extra features like copying, scanning, or faxing. It also doesn't enable two-sided printing automatically, although you can manually feed paper in from a slot on the side if you need to print on both sides urgently.

You only need to unseal the four color Brother HL-L3210CW Toner Cartridges once you've taken the Brother HL-L3210CW from its box. They're already in the right spot; all you have to do now is pull out the tray, remove each Brother HL-L3210CW Toner Cartridge, and remove the protective seal before replacing them. It's a little more fiddly than some of the other lasers we've seen, but it's a one-time task that can be done quickly. It has a 1-line LCD panel that can be used to manage printer functions but it can't display enough information on the screen at once to allow you to figure out what's going on without utilising the buttons. It supports a wide range of mobile printing alternatives, including Google Cloud Print and AirPrint, and has USB and WiFi connectivity choices. It can handle paper up to the size of an A4 sheet. Ethernet connections are not supported by this printer.

The print quality is a bit of a mixed bag. Brother HL-L3210CW Toner Cartridges may be saved by printing black text slightly lighter than on other laser printers, but it means printouts aren't quite as bold as they should be. When printing images, discovered that a gentler touch was often beneficial to the printer, particularly when printing lighter flesh tones. However, darker shades and black were not extremely dark, and light banding was visible in wider expanses of color, such as a pure blue sky. With Brother HL-L3210CW Toner Cartridges and a maximum printing resolution of 2400 x 600 dpi, the HL-L3210CW Brother model is capable of generating clear, high-quality prints that are deemed better than many competitors in the entry-level category. This printer can print at a maximum speed of 16 pages per minute in both color and monochrome, and it can hold up to 250 sheets of standard paper. It has a relatively fast first copy out time of 16 seconds, so you won't have to wait long to get your print job. It took 28 seconds to print six 6 x 4in color images, and 27 seconds to print a pair of 10 x 8in photos, which is far faster than most inkjets on these larger prints.

It has very expensive print supplies and isn't designed for large-volume printing, but you can cut costs by using compatible Brother HL-L3210CW Toner Cartridges while still getting high-quality prints. Your office will use more paper than it would normally due to the lack of automated duplexing. If you need copying, scanning, faxing, or two-sided printing frequently, you might want to investigate another model rather than buying another device for your workplace. The Brother HL-L3210CW is a simple printer with a lot of positive features, including a cheap cost per color page and a reasonable price (for a laser printer). It was created for tiny and home offices with limited printing needs, and it will easily fit into a desk corner. Its sleek, modern design blends nicely with most office decors.
