Product Information

The Stinkyink compatible range offers the best value for money you’ll find from any UK ink supplier. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. However, the HL-L3210CW struggled some in reproducing the dark fills and gradient backgrounds in several of our full-page PowerPoint handouts and Excel charts and graphs.

If budget is top of mind and you only print a few hundred pages a month, the HL-L3210CW will serve you well. Mating it to my router was almost painless and used the WPS option; it needed a second try and mated on that.In this 3000 series, Brother has produced a ridiculously easy printer to set up and use, which gives crisp and accurate results.

However, it lacks an auto-duplexing print engine for churning out two-sided pages without your having to flip them manually.It measures a reasonably compact 410 x 461 x 252mm (WDH), connects via USB or Wi-Fi, and prints at a resolution of 600 x 2,400dpi.

The unpacking instructions are fairly easy to follow despite there being no text, just a few illustrations and took very little time.Whether digitizing important paperwork or preserving old photos, the DCP-L3550CDW excels in delivering exceptional scan quality. To get this feature (and the touch-screen control panel), you'll need to step up to the HL-L3270CDW. Then follow the instructions in the next window, which tells you to put the paper back into the paper tray. Page yields are declared by the manufacturer in accordance with ISO/IEC standards or occasionally estimated based on 5% per page coverage.

This convenience ensures the printer remains up-to-date with the latest enhancements without requiring manual intervention. Output speed is a reasonably quick 18ppm (at 5% coverage), though if duplexing function is used this does work rather more slowly.

It's not disastrous, but it is annoying, and a slight disappointment as everything else is very good.
