some lasers use cartridges only & others need both cartridge AND drum?
I am shopping for a new laser printer in the $200 to $300 range. I've
been using HP Laserjets that require replacement cartridges only. But I notice that the Brother printer I am looking at requires replacement from time to time of both cartridges AND drum. This being the situation, is there a reason to purchase a Brother printer knowing that the cost of a new drum down the line will add to per print cost? all opinions, information, replies, etc. welcomed!

Unless they have changed design this is an issue with Brother laser
printers. I got rid of mine. My expereince with Brother printers is that they eat toner compared to other brands. I have used a now ancient HP1200 (mechanically probably identical to the current model-the outside box changes for marketing purposes but the innards remain the same) for several years of daily use (average 30-50 pages) and recommend its current iteration without hesitation. Never a hiccough, very economical on toner use. I would not say the same of HP inkjets, but that is another rant. |
