Brother Laser Printer For Thick Paper

Excellent quality for our color laser printer. Like the weight of the paper. It's strong, but not so thick that it jams in print as other thick papers do.

The paper is nice, thick paper, useful for covers or other applications where you want a professional thicker paper. It doesn't come with printing instructions, but with laser printers, when using coated paper (such as this photo quality paper or DVD labels) you must set the printer to 'coated/thick' which causes the paper to travel through the printer at a slower speed. Toner is tiny specs of plastic which are picked up electrostatically by the drum and baked onto the paper by the fuser. I don't know how to explain it exactly, but for whatever reason, when using coated paper, if the paper travels through at the speed of plain paper, the toner will not bake on well, and will 'bubble' up and crumble off. The slower speed takes care of that by giving it more time to heat and adhere to the paper. I think HP should print this on the packaging; you can waste much paper until you figure this out. (I've seen other brands that didn't have these instructions either. I don't know why, but it seems to be more common for instructions to be printed on inkjet paper than laser paper.)

Brother makes a great Laser color printer, so you'd expect them to make great cartridges. AND they do!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love my brother laser printer. Brother has been my go to company for printers. Their toner is expensive compared to ink but you get so much more from it. End of the day i dont use my printer to print photos and need a reliable full house printer for kids school projects and what have you.

After much agonizing over types, styles, prices and brand names I arrived at what would be best for my situation... instead of ink jet or mega tank the laser printer won. Now ...what kind? I chose Brother and Im thrilled at the outcome. I dont print much anymore but when I do its going to be something essential . The laser is ready , boots up smoothly, prints quickly and the page is sharp and clear. I did have a slight problem in setup., which was downloaded from the Brother site. It asked for some number that was supposedly on the printer somewhere.....it was not. So I kept looking and found another Brother site for setup and this one worked beautifully. Ot only took a minute or so and it was ready to rock. Since then Ive printed several pages for both written word and artist reditions of animals to use for hobby work and all came out perfectly. I even like the size.of the printer which has a footprint about the same dimensions as my old ink jet., but with a distinctive more compact style. And for the price I paid.....I'm super impressed.

Purchased Brother HLL2480DW Wireless Black and White Laser Printer after with have an HP printer for a long time. What a difference! Easy set up and troubleshooting, quick printing and print quality.

Great! This is my second Brother colour laser printer. It is easy to use, toner is easy to find and I never have problems with it.

This printer was purchased as a replacement. It replaced a Brother color laser printer of almost the same design. Yes, I liked it enough to go for the same thing.

This was a replacement for the black cartridge that came with my Brother HL-3170CDW color laser printer. Super easy to install. User oriented design. Works great. Brother printers are great.
