I might be slightly unusual in wanting to have a laser printer for art projects, so I really tested my printer to the limits!
Out of the box I was really pleased. The printer is sturdy but relatively easy on the eye. Unpacking it, downloading the Brother Mobile Connect app and getting everything online took a matter of minutes. I was worried it would be complicated, but I was running a test print within about 10 minutes of unpacking it!
It's a great printer for standard office use, but I wanted to make some image transfers to a gel plate, which laser copies are really good for. This worked quite well, but I still need to get to grips with the technique. However, I found that once my acrylic paint print was dry, I could run it through the printer again to bring my design to life. I was extremely pleased with the result and glad that the machine could handle 'unusual' paper in this way without the slightest issue.
It was really quick when operational and I like the colour touchscreen, which also makes it really intuitive as a user. It feels like a really high quality, professional machine that is a real bonus for my household. My daughter is already having me make her own bespoke colouring in pages and print them off. There are a million uses that we can put this fantastic printer to.
I have also used the scanner to digitise some old documents for another art project, and again found that really simple to operate. The results are fantastic, being able to scan in a high resolution at home is another real game changer for me, so I couldn't be happier.
We've set up our EcoPro subscription too, as I really like the fact that you get your toner delivered as and when you need it without any hassle, and for our needs it works out as very inexpensive over the year.
In all the tests I've run so far, I've loved everything about this product. It does everything I want quickly and without needing any special knowledge to operate it. I have no suggestions for how it could be improved!
