Printer and High Yield Black Toner Bundle

I wont go into every minutiae, as many have already done so. This is mostly about print quality (which, oddly enough, is rarely mentioned). The quality of the print, especially compared to the likes of Xerox Phaser or HP, etc., is just plain terrible. If anything, its certainly not the 1200x1200 DPI they claim it to be. Its not even 600x600 in my opinion. Id place it more at about 300x600. This deception in marketing alone is what earned it a two star rating from me (sorry, but print quality is a deal breaker for me). Print speed is indeed fast, even from a deep sleep. If youre able to get it at a lower price (it was just down to $115) and just need a cheap and fast machine for invoicing and student use, it might suit your needs. Ill try to upload some comparison photos. Pros: -Fast wake-up and printing -Small form factor -Relatively quiet -Plug and play -Auto duplex -Includes a full ink toner cartridge Cons: -Terrible print quality -No WiFi/Bluetooth

Poor print quality with Google Cloud Print. This issue is not specific to this model. According to various posts several models of Brother printers are affected by "fax like" quality when printing through Google Cloud Print.Its very noticable on even the simple printout like the spreadsheet attached to this review. Its really sad because overall this is a very nice printer. It was easy to setup, it prints super fast. But my main use case is printing via Google Cloud Print so for me this printer is no good. Returning it.
