Summary: A Perfect Color Laser for the Price
Comment: Purchased the Brother HL-4070cdw a few months ago from Amazon. I read all the reviews here, so there really weren't any surprises. Skip this one if you need high quality color work. You can adjust quite a lot, but colors still seem a bit washed out even for a laser. The paper curling has not been a problem with 24lb stock. Works great with the Mac. Even got wireless working using the home router. I doubt you can find a better color laser for the bucks. Very satisfied.

Summary: Printer, Brother, + Service Center All Bad! Not Helpful.
Comment: I bought this printer back in Feb. 2008 based on past reviews from others and the printer's great features. Little did I know that 5 months later the printer would fail and not print anymore with some "Print Unable" message. After talking to Brother, they sent me to a service center near by to get it fixed. This printer is sooo heavy (70 lbs.). I knew it was heavy but I never thought I would have to move it. At least not this soon. The service center fixed it so it would print and I brought it home. Next thing you know the printer started printing with a yellow background and soon thereafter the toner ran out. I hadn't even printed 100 pages yet in color so the toner running out totally disappointed me. Neither Brother nor the service center wanted to take responsibility of the yellow background. Now I have to buy a new yellow toner ($50) and see if everything works. More to come. BUT DON"T BUY THIS PRINTER. It failed, service from Brother was horrible, and the service center they recommended was uncooperative. Bad all around!

Summary: Excellent Printer
Comment: This was the easiest printer I have ever set up in my 25 years of using printers. Every printer should work this way. I set it up for a small company to work with both Windows XP and Mac OS X clients - both wired and wireless. It was a breeze. The duplex printing is great. The color printouts are really useful. It is not an ink jet so it is not great at photos (no gradients) but great for presentations and images look good but not smooth like a photo. Would buy again. Highly recommended.

Summary: Very Nice Color Printer
Comment: I can highly recommend this color printer. I have had it a little over a month. It is set up wirelessly. I have four computers in the house (2 PC and 2 MAC's). All are able to print seamlessly. The colors are a bit muted. They are no where near as vibrant as they show on my monitor. However, there are some color correction settings that I'd like to play with on the printer itself in addition to color setting inside the programs like PhotoShop. If I find that these settings help (particularly the ones on the printer) I will post an update.

All in all...if you're looking for a reasonably priced color laser printer that is wireless to boot, you can't go wrong here. Space isn't an issue...since its wireless, you could literally put it in a closet somewhere so long as you have a electrical outlet. If you are a designer or someone who needs precise color matching...this probably isn't the printer for you as you'll more than likely be disappointed.

Summary: Print Quality Versus Supply Cost
Comment: I have been using the Brother HL-4070 for a few months. It is very easy to operate and does duplex well even though it is slow when in the duplex mode. I have been satisfied with the print quality and the speed at which it prints. This is the best printer I have owned for my home office use with one exception. I'll explain that in as much detail as I can.

I rated it two stars because there must be some kind of flaw in the toner cartridges. They are very expensive and to replace the toner cartridges will cost you as much as the printer cost. I wouldn't be upset about that if I got the yield from the cartridges that I am suppose to get. The only thing I can figure out is the toner counts the pages that print no matter how much toner is used. I say this because all the color cartridges run out at the same time. It is not possible that I use the exact same amount of color for each copy I produce since I am printing different items with different color requirements. My color cartridge cost is now around $1,000 since January. This is twice what I spent the entire year previously with the HP printer I replace with this printer.

Overall I am dissatisfied with the performance of the printer since it cost me so much to operate. I am currently contemplating replacing this printer with another HP Color Laser since the operational cost of supply usage will be less.

Good luck to all of you who had glowing things to say about the printer. I too, like the printer but the cost of operation is unmanageable. Therefore, I cannot recommend the printer.
