Brother MFC-L3720CDW Wireless Digital Color All-in

Best in mid price range
I tested a lot of machines, including HP machines, many of which are going out of stock, but are still being sold because HP is getting out of a certain line of printer business – buyer beware and look it up if you don’t believe me – and I finally settled on this mid priced monster of a machine, which works perfectly fine despite its really heavy weight. This is a very solid laser printer that is not particularly speedy, but is incredibly solidly built and easy to set up. Its software interface is pretty clunky. It’s software interface is pretty clunky. It must be said and they haven’t spent a lot of time or tech To make it more user attractive, unlike HP, which has very good printer software – but then again they tried to use it by trapping you to use their cartridges, only which is not the case with Brother – And that is where HP got in trouble. The print rate is a bit slow, but again very consistent. On the whole you got the impression this thing is built to last. No problems so far. Time will tell. Other printers are much lighter, including the outgoing HP models which they are winding down, but those were very thin and lightly built – I refer to the ink jet models and their 9000 series Better for college kids than small businesses whereas this is certainly built to last for smaller businesses I would say.

“Eligible for Return” means something different to this seller than it does to the rest of us.
I’ve had a Brother monochrome laser printer for some 15 years or so and it has performed better than any other printer I have ever used. Naturally, when I needed a color laser printer, Brother was my first choice. Most of the reviews were excellent and it is rated “Amazon’s Choice”, so presumably most of these function quite well. This one performed poorly out of the box. The description claimed that it is “network ready”. I never could get it to work over a network, neither wirelessly nor with an ethernet connection. It only worked with a USB cord (not included, of course, but this is pretty standard with printers for some reason) as a local printer. Picture quality was barely acceptable. The included toner was gone in no time. The biggest problem, though, was the paper feed. When I first loaded the printer with paper, I got an alert to put paper in the tray. The tray had plenty of paper in it. I tried adding some paper, but still got the alarm, so I began looking online for why this might be. One owner said that he had to update the firmware, so I set the printer to search for new firmware. Sure enough, there was new firmware available, so I installed it. I still got the same alert. Other users said reducing the amount of paper would help, so I tried that. Once I got the paper level down to about 30 sheets, it picked up the first sheet and continued to print until the paper was gone. It turns out that this is an issue with spring tension that sometimes occurs after several years of heavy use. While it seems this is not an uncommon problem with printers of several brands, clearly this is NOT an issue that should be present in a new machine. My suspicion is that this machine was not in fact new, but maybe one of the “Save with used – like new!” printers touted within the description.I figured this should be no problem since the printer is “Eligible for Return” according to its description. Now, I have used Amazon for over 20 years and have returned perhaps five products. In every case, the seller paid the return shipping. Every case until this one, that is. They sent me a shipping label to return it, but postage was required. A LOT of postage. According to the description, the weight is 49.5 pounds. Nope – 59 pounds according to the post office scales. It cost over $210 to ship this back to the seller. I complained about this, but never received a reply. Weeks later, my refund was issued – MINUS a $230.40 restocking fee!I’m not unreasonable – I understand how a faulty product can get past anyone. But when this happens, a reputable business will do what it takes to make things right. I am quite disappointed with this seller. The printer was returned because it was defective, not because it didn’t match my drapes. Ultimately, I did end up buying a similar Brother color laser printer and I am quite happy with it. But I certainly did not purchase it from this seller. Clearly the great reviews are from people who didn’t have to experience their return policy.

A buen precio, de buen material, fácil de configurar. Si tarda unos segundos en imprimir por ejemplo.Pero pues no es para negocio verdad, no pasa nada por esperar unos 3 segundos. Los insumos duran mucho y la calidad de impresión es excelente. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Llevo un mes utilizandola, ha respondido bastante bien. Su funcionamiento es correcto, salvo un par de observaciones.* El timepo de impresión al darle click en imprimir es muchisimo, más de 10 seg.* No tiene puerto USB para imprimir o escanear directo de una Memoria.* Los consumibles se están terminando un poco más rapido que otras impresoras que eh podido utilizar.* La calidad de impresión laser deja mucho que desear, salen un poco punteadas las impresiones, talvez mis imagenes no estén de alta calidad.* El precio por ella me parece un poco por arriba por lo que entrega.* Los consumibles son bastante caros. Siempre esta la opción de genericos, pero ya depende de cada persona.
