    Brother lasers are pretty great.

      Yep. We have a black and white Brother laser printer, and it’s lasted* for at least five years now. Toner is so much cheaper than those stupid, tiny cartridges with not-enough-cyan.

        I got mine as a display model when Office Depot/Max were killing off stores that were too close together and I had had no issues in the at least 7 years I’ve had it. Its a black and white printer and have used CVS or where for printing pictures the off chance I need to. I also have only bought toner a time or two over the years. Dual sided scanning and printing? For my occasional use its perfect.

      I got a b/w Brother laser and have been using it with Windows, Linux and Android devices with no issues. It has lasted me through 6 years of university and I’ve only replaced the toner once. Probably the best technology investment I’ve ever made.

            Generally no, image quality on color lasers isn’t great but you can print them, just not great. I usually want glossy prints for frames but not often enough for me to print them at home on a consumer quality ink jet printer. I usually go to a print shop or somewhere that has a professional printer.

            Hell, even CVS Walgreens and Walmart have better photo printers than any consumer off the shelf model.
