Brother HL-5240

Summary

I'm happy with the printer although the rolled print outs and "not so black - black" are quite annoying!

What are the weaknesses?
The worst thing about this printer is that the paper often comes out "rolled". I wonder if other users have this problem?

The black does not appears a bit more grey in colour than other printers.

Brother HL-5240 - good printer

Summary

The Brother HL-5240 can most definitely give the HP and Canon printers a run for their money. This printer is great!! I bought for it as i wanted a printer which was fast and printed well, yet didnt make a dent in my pocket. And this has proved to be the perfect buy. It is great. I have no complaints.

What are the strengths?
This printer is suprisingly good. It is well designed and is quite compact and hence fits well anywhere. It has a 1200 dpi, and the prints are of really good quality. They are clear and legible. This print also has a good speed. It prints around 30-35 pages per minute. Plus, the best part is it is a laser printer.
What are the weaknesses?
None that i have come across.
