Review: Brother HL-4070CDW

By Brian Chen (macworld.com)

With duplexing and wireless or wired network connectivity, the HL-4070 offers a very impressive set of features for the price. Performance and print quality are top-notch too, making this a superb color laser printer for smaller offices and workgroups.

When setting up the software, Brother gives you the option to install drivers for three different connection types: USB, Ethernet, or wireless. Creating a USB and Ethernet connection is very straightforward, but configuring it for wireless use ...

Brother HL-4070CDW

By Susie Ochs (maclife.com)

Employee of the Month.

Easy duplex printing. Can print directly from USB drives or PictBridge cameras. Full installer app for the Mac.

Noisy. Expensive toner. cartridges. Small LCD. only. Can't be used via FireWire.

. The HL-4070CDW is a speedy, versatile printer, and an economical choice until the toner runs out. With a maximum duty cycle of 35,000 pages per month, it's a solid performer for a small business.

Brother HL-4070CDW Colour Laser Printer

By (trustedreviews.com)

Does the HL-4070CDW justify the -200 premium compared to its cheaper sibling-

Duplex print is definitely an advantage for any office printer, particularly when we are all trying to save resources, such as paper. PostScript compatibility is also a useful extra, particularly for those printing from Adobe software, while wireless ...

Poor quality & TONER HOG

By Finance Mgr (newegg.com)

And the duplexing is not automatic. Each user needs to select it each time they print. I have been unable to make it a default setting.

Lots of features

This printer is set up to help Brother make money on toner. It stops printing after the page count for your cartridge is reached. And all three color cartridges expire at the same time. I called Brother and they told me that even with B&W some color toner...

you can reset "empty" cartridges

By monket (newegg.com)

You can reset the toner cartridges with nothing more than a screwdriver and 10 minutes. There's a plastic gear that tells the printer when the toner is full, and if you reset it yourself the cartridge is good for another cycle of pages. You can get full i...

Good black text printing. Color printing is average for a color laser. Construction is very sturdy. Page cost is reasonable - if you reset your cartridges and don't buy new toner every time the printer complains

This thing is HEAVY. 64 lbs or so without paper. It shuts down completely when any one of the four toner cartridges exceeds the pre-programmed page count, which is a MAJOR inconvenience if you can't purchase toner locally. I had a presentation to give in...

Brother HL-4070CDW

By MDK (newegg.com)

The Brother HL-4070CDW is a replacement for a Samsung CLP-315W. There is a huge difference in quality. The actual fit and finish of the Brother HL-4070CDW is excellent compared to the Samsung CLP-315W. The two printers aren't in the same class but I do sa...

21 PPM in color and monochrome

The different color toner drums print within about 10 to 20 microns. That is pretty accurate for what the machine is but color text comes out kind of blotchy around the edges

Manufacturer's Description

The HL-4070CDW is the fast, affordable color laser printer that everyone has been waiting for. Offering the same print speed and print quality as the HL-4040CN, the HL-4070CDW also features built-in duplexing for two-sided printing, a wireless network interface for connecting to your wired or wireless workgroup, and BR-Script3 for PostScript compatibility.
