BROTHER MFC-L3770CDW A4 Colour Multifunction LED Laser Printer

Got this delivered today. Was a bit concerned when I saw 2 delivery drivers with it and the box said 2 people to carry it! But it was fine and I got it upstairs on my own. What was fantastic from the start was the printer was in a huge strong bag WITH handles! So it was incredibly easy to lift out of the box, I removed all the tape and packaging and just turned it on. Had it setup with my iPhone in minutes, so easy, then set it up on my Mac in minutes too! Did a test print fine. I am very impressed with its specs! Networking, Apple AirPrint, app for your phone or tablet cloud features, and 4 separate toners. 2 scanners, and it’ll take photo paper! For a pretty good price, not long ago something like this would cost several thousand pounds.I needed a printer that can just sit there unused for ages, and an inkjet can’t do that as the print head will clog up. And of course you waste inks as they clean themselves all the time. Inkjets are best at photos though, but for general use you can’t beat a laser, or LED in this case. Touch screen is easy to use too.

After ordering hastily, I was a bit gutted not to see "laser" written on the box. After Googling, I read that LED printers are not as fine as laser ones. I disagree, at least for 600 x 600 dpi and 2,400 dpi class (2400 x 600) quality which are plenty.I compared specs with the (more expensive) Brother colour laser DCP-L8410CDW and the print resolution was identical. So, I decided to open the box and give it a go.Setup was easy and I was able to print and scan within minutes. The quality looks like a laser printer to me, so I'm delighted.P.S. I connected to our home network via Ethernet and was pleased to find AirPrint available on my iPhone WITHOUT having to connect directly to the printer's Wi-Fi.

This is a truly amazing printer, and considering the technology that lies within it, it really is quite remarkable value. The replacement toner cartridges however are less remarable, being horrendously expensive, but even they are technological marvels.To slightly offset the eye watering cost of these consumables, the printer arrived complete with all four cartriges, brand new (protective packing had to be removed from each one individually before use) and therefore not partially filled (according to the on board display, one function of which is to inform on the condition of the cartridges). This of course is the trick otherwise performed by many printer manufactureres, who provide cartridges with only a small amount of toner present.(It's interesting to note that take away the cost of a set of new replacement cartridges - which is what this purcase essentially was, then the printer itself costs no more than a good inkjet printer!).On receipt I immediately made the printer work, and really work. I prepared a two page document complete with a dozen small colour photographs and a lot of text. I sent it to the printer as a two-sided document. There was admittedly a pause whilst the printer formatted all the images, but within seconds the page emerged.(With a duplex print, it is amusing to watch the page start to emerge into the output 'shelf', then pause and withdraw again into the innards while it flips the page to do the second side. For all the world as if the printer suddenly remembered it hadn't finished!).The output is good, really good. Text is pin sharp and colour images of any sort clear and vibrant (dependant on the quality of the originals).Whilst tempted to simply initially 'cable up' the printer to my PC, I elected to go the whole hog and attempted to wirelessly network the two devices. It couldn't have been easier - once I'd worked out how to manage the keypresses on the display panel (Hint, keep pressing!).I have not used the scanner yet, so cannot comment. Similarly the fax facility, but it's unlikely I will ever use that.So, a purchase I couldn't be more pleased with and a genuinely excellent printer to boot.The one thing I don't care for is the placement of the control panel, it looks as if it simply waiting to be bashed. I do however accept it is a difficult thing to design into the otherwise sleek lines of the 'box'.One word of warning; in its box, the machine weighs a ton! A staggering 18.6kg! Enough to test the patience of even the most obliging Amazon driver!

A couple of months since purchased have past. Unit was easy to setup once you get all the packaging and tape removed. Inserting tomers also without any issue. It connects to my Apple based network without issue and printing is easy. Quality if exactly what i needed and this has so far had about 100 pages printed and all look great. Very happy as a previous Brother printer owner to move at home to a Colour Laser instead of Inkjet. If you print infrequantly like I do and were frustrated at inkjet drying out etc, this is your best option in my opinion.

This is an excellent colour laser printer. Unlike many other brands, it accepts third-party toner cartridges, even after updating the firmware to the latest v1.2 in Feb 2025 (I used TONTINA TN248 black without problems). Printing is crisp and clear, deep blacks and colours. It prints double-sided and also easily accepts sheets of labels or lightweight card. The manual feed slot is easy to use. It also has an instant photocopy function (B&W or colour) and can scan to your PC or a network location. I like the fact that it does not have a multi-sheet feeder for the scanner, an option I never use, which cuts down on bulk. It is still big and heavy, but I've seen bigger; build quality is robust. Criticisms: Speed is okay but not impressively fast. Configuring scan-to-PC or scan-to-network is fiddly and there is no scan-to-USB option. Highly recommended.
