BROTHER HL-3070CW

BROTHER HL-3070CW
VERDICT: A printer with good print economy for your offi ce or home.
FOR: Excellent document printing, secure print feature, good print economy
AGAINST: Tiny LCD display, below average photo prints, manual duplex.



The Brother HL-3070CW is an
economical printer for small
businesses and homes, and can
print at a decent resolution of 600x2400
dpi. The printer can be connected via
the USB, LAN or Wi-fi . It has a 64 MB
buff er memory which is good enough for
a small to medium offi ce environment.
The HL-3070CW uses the LED light
printing technology rather than the
conventional laser printers that use a
laser beam. LEDs are more efficient and
reliable since there are fewer moving parts
involved. The front panel sports a USB
port that can be used for both PictBridge
direct printing as well as printing directly
from a USB fl ash drive.
The HL-3070CW prints regular text
documents at 16 ppm and an A4 photo
(best quality) in just 26 seconds. The
black text prints were excellent with crisp
character formation, but the photo prints
were not satisfactory—they were quite
dark and dull due to insufficient contrast
and details.
