Brother HL-2270DW review

Automatic duplexing and wireless make the Brother HL-2270DW a more-than-basic laser printer, but its toner costs are high.

Brother HL-2270DW review

The Brother HL-2270DW laser monochrome printer provides a viable alternative to the classic bottomless money pit that has become today's inkjet printer. Modern photo, tricolor, and high-capacity ink cartridges can cost anywhere from $20 to $100 per...

The Brother HL-2270DW lives up to Brother's reputation for reliable, easy-to-use, wireless monochrome laser printers.

The printer struggles to provide visually acceptable graphic documents.

With improvements to its output speed, the Brother HL-2270DW improves on its legacy model and provides small businesses an efficient output device for high-volume black-and-white prints.

Brother HL-2270DW review

We can't fully recommend it based on the consumable prices we've seen. However, if they drop significantly, we could well be upgrading it to an award.

Brother HL-2270DW laser printer review

Smaller businesses looking for a mono A4 laser printer for single-user or small workgroup environments are likely to find devices like the Xerox Workcentre 3550 prohibitively expensive. A far cheaper, but still very capable solution for those firms...

Brother HL-2270DW Laser Printer

At first glance, the Brother HL-2270DW printer looks like an ideal solution for a small business or home office. Available for a very reasonable £168, the HL-2270DW is a simple, small mono laser printer that Brother says will offer you wireless...

With excellent quality print and a fairly speedy ppm time combined with a sharp, but inconspicuous design, it’s hard not to recommend the Brother HL-2270DW. Its cheap price means that the feature set is minimal – this really is “just a printer” – and...

Brother HL-2270DW laser printer review

Brother HL-2270DW laser printer review,A tidy and compact small business laser, with high speeds and impressive quality, technology news from Paul Lester at v3.co.uk

Impressive quality; fast speeds; compact; auto-duplex feature; wired and wireless networking built-in

Network setup can be awkward; rather basic design

Brother's HL-2270DW is a no-nonsense, compact printer suited to low-volume jobs and offers impressive speeds and quality. It also benefits from reasonable running costs, while built-in wired and wireless networking makes it suited to small workgroups...

Brother HL-2270DW mono laser printer

Brother HL-2270DW review: A quick mono laser printer without any fancy features

Fast print speeds ; Good first page out time

Other budget lasers have larger toner cartridges ; Manual feed is only a single sheet

Brother's HL-2270DW mono laser printer gets pages out quickly, making it a good choice for document-heavy offices that don't need colour. It's also got wireless so it's a smart choice for a large or notebook-heavy office.

Brother HL-2270DW

The HL-2270DW is the same small size as the HL-2240, with the same 250-sheet input tray and 1-sheet manual bypass tray with no paper handling options. At 7.2 by 14.5 by 14.2 inches (HWD), it takes up less space than most ink jets, so you can easily...

Small. Fast. High-quality output, particularly for text. Duplexer. Wired and WiFi network support

Paper handling suitable for only light-duty use, with no additional options available

Small, fast, and offering both Ethernet and WiFi support, the Brother HL-2270DW mono laser is a particularly good choice for a micro office with light-duty printing needs.
