Brother HL-3075CW

Brother HL-3075CW

Offering a combination of fast speed plus output quality that's good enough for most business use, the Brother HL-3075CW ($300 street) is a potential workhorse color printer for a small or micro office, or even a home office with relatively heavy-duty print needs. Factor in the Ethernet and Wi-Fi for easy sharing on a network, as well as paper handling suitable for most micro or small offices, and you might even consider it attractive. It's certainly a potentially good fit. Like the similarly priced Editors' Choice Dell 1350cnw Color LED Printer ($299 direct, 4 stars), the HL-3075CW is built around an LED engine, which makes it comparable to a laser. In fact, LED printers are essentially identical to lasers, except that they use LEDs rather than lasers to draw the image of each page on a drum before printing. Somewhat surprisingly, because LED printers tend to be smaller and lighter than lasers, the HL-3075CW weighs 41.9 pounds. That means you may want some help moving it into place. However, even at 9.8 by 16.1 by 18.3 inches (HWD) it shouldn't be hard to find room for, and thanks to the low height, you might even be willing to share a desk with it.
