Brother HL-2140

Brother HL-2140 review

 

Brother's HL-2140 is part of the same series as the HL-2170W, which received four stars in What's New, Shopper 242. It has fewer features than its more expensive sibling, but costs just over half the price.

The focus of the Brother HL-2140 is clear, and as a good little text churner this laser packs the goods. Use it extensively and, in the long-term, you'll end up paying considerable amounts. But for the typical family, this is an excellent complement to...

A Desktop Mono Laser : Brother HL-2140 mono desktop laser printer

 

It ain't heavy, it's my Brother" could well apply to a new desktop mono laser printer from Brother.

While inkjet printers can product excellent results with regards to quality, the running costs of such a device can quickly mount up as replacement cartridges are required on a regular basis. An economic and viable alternative, especially when colour...

Brother HL-2140 Laser Printer Review

 

This is a good printer for use when you don't need color and don't want to spend a fortune on ink. The cost per page for laser printers is inherently less than the cost for ink jets. So you can keep costs down by having a printer like this along side...
