Brother HL-L8350CDW Highlights -
Pros: Fast. Easy setup. Wireless and wired connectivity options.
Cons: Not ideal for high quality photo printing.
If you're running a small to medium sized business then chances are you'll need a reliable printer that is capable of cost efficient printing. Brother HL-L8350CDW wireless color laser printer aims to deliver four main features: speed, convenience, savings and support.
Speed: The printer is quite fast compared to some of the other multifunctional printers we have reviewed. The printer offers speeds of up to 32ppm (pages per minute) in both color and black with up to 2400 x 600dpi resolution. This means it will print one page every two seconds making it pretty quick. Please note, users will typically get the specified speed when printing plain text documents that don't require much processing time. Photo documents print a little bit slower.
Savings: Brother HL-L8350CDW features automatic duplex for two-sided document printing thereby reducing print costs and saving paper. The printer is ENERGY STAR qualified and has features designed to reduce energy consumption like the 'Auto Off Mode' that powers off the unit when not in use. Also, users can restrict printing on a per user or per group basis, using the Secure Function Lock feature.
Convenience: The printer offers the convenience of wireless printing with it's built-in wireless 802.11b/g/n (mobile device printing via: AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, Brother iPrint & Scan - a free downloadable app). If there is no wireless network then the printer allows the flexibility to connect to a wired network with it's Ethernet port. Additionally, users can print directly from their USB flash drive via the front-access USB port.
Support: Users will get free phone support for the life of the printer and a 1 year limited warranty, making it a great choice for small business users.
