That's what I was wondering. It used to be that inkjets were cheap to buy, but costly to run and lasers the opposite, but now it seems to be completely mixed up...

Well I'm not exactly up to date. Mine is probably nearly 15 yrs old so whenever it's not used for a few weeks it's rubbish and needs cleaning etc.
Maybe new models are better designed at keeping the ink and cartridges from drying?

Use code 299000065 for a tenner off for £149. Ive been thinking for a while on this one. Brother seeming to be one of the cheapest to run and OK for a light user like me who just doesnt want my ink drying out all the bloody time.

Is ink drying out still a worry with inkjets?

Been using a similar Brother printer to this and just bought an upgrade to it, quite reliable and cheap but not the greatest print quality with the cheap toners.
I've also used a drum far past the recommended amount, at about 30k sheets now.

Compatible cartridges last about 2000 sheets, and seem to be as reliable as the genuine ones. (I've been using compatibles for 45k sheets.
The drums should be replaced at15k sheets, and could cost £75 for a set of 4 !
I've found drums can be used for more than 45k sheets, provided you get good at cleaning them. (otherwise you get corona wire errors)

I really want to upvote this, as I have had several excellent brother Laser printers; but the last two models owned (one colour and one mono), were unreliable, and started giving issues after a year of a fairly light office use.
I would still rather have this than a HP though, the last HP colour laser I had was a bag of ****; not only that, but 3 months after purchase, HP TRIPLED the toner prices..
I've had this for about 6 months maybe more, it's decent machine for the price, colour touchscreen, wifi, cloud printing etc. Its big! Also the print quality ain't all that sometimes the pictures are ok, and the text is not as crisp as it should be. But you are not going to get anything even close to this price and if you do they'll have stupidly expensive toner, this is cheap to refill, pretty happy with mine. Wifi printing is slow although mine is in the attic and the router is on the ground floor so not a surprise

I have a review of this model printer, just in case it helps anyone with their buying decision. I still own it now and works like a dream :smile: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EeMUCwv-Tw

Is there a smaller version of this type of printer? I need a small one for home use but not had any luck finding one that doesn't look so bulky

That's not surprising, colour laser printers have four sets of toners and drums whereas mono laser printers have only one. This one has a 100 sheet paper drawer. You may be able to find a model with a smaller drawer.
Also compared to any inkjet printer, laser printers are not good at printing photographs, there is a noticeable dot pattern.

Why do you want black and white prints from a colour laser printer? Buy a cheap mono laser printer

£153.60 on Amazon with the start up toner, which I assume this one comes with as well

It's probably the best all in one colour laser you can get for home / small business use.
just bear in mind it's a relatively large machine and quite heavy.(over 20 kg)
This is also the normal price for it, so not particularly a deal.
