Brother HL-3070CW
Small offices and workgroups are the focus of Brother's HL-3070CW LED-based colour printer.As small offices and workgroups will likely be run out of homes or - obviously - small office spaces, Brother designed the HL-3070CW so it won't occupy too much space. Measuring just 408 x 465 x 249mm (WxDxH) this colour laser printer is one of the smallest we've tested.The HL-3070CW is fully loaded with Brother claiming monochrome and colour print speeds of 17ppm each. The printer features a 300MHz CPU and 64MB of buffer memory as standard but the latter can be upgraded to 512MB. This is useful if your organisation's print needs grow over time. The Brother is also flexible on the connectivity front, it packs USB, WiFi and Ethernet support and if you want to print photos and images directly from a digital camera, there's a PictBridge port too. When we put the printer to the test it performed very well; it spat out our 20-page monochrome and colour print test documents in normal quality at speeds of 14.6ppm and 14.2ppm respectively. These are very respectable figures that aren't too far off Brother's claimed figures.

The Brother HL-3070cw color LED printer gives small offices color printing on the cheap (for $350 as of March 1, 2010), and it has Wi-Fi, too. As is the case with many bargains, however, it makes some compromises, namely in speed and print quality; it also has a few frustrating features. Wi-Fi connectivity is still uncommon among color laser and LED printers, so its presence on the HL-3070cw is a nice bonus. The setup involves a lot of steps, though: For us, clicking blindly through the terse and overly technical dialog boxes proved successful but tedious. Unfortunately, the HL-3070cw is slow and a little clumsy at printing. On a PC, text pages printed at a poky 8.8 pages per minute (ppm). Color speed ranged from 3.5 ppm at default settings on plain paper to 1.8 ppm printing photos on special paper. On a Mac, the HL-3070cw was a little faster, averaging 9.8 ppm with text and 3.6 ppm with graphics. Text quality was as crisp as you'd expect from any laser. All grayscale and color graphics suffered from a grainy effect, however, and color graphics looked pale. The Dell 2130cn prints better graphics, but its toner costs are exorbitant.
