Brother TN720 Standard Yield Toner, 3000 Page Yield

2016-07-19T20:00:00

I love this printer. It is very fast and is great for my personal office printer. I buy a new one each year because I like this printer better than our commercial printers in the office. I print a huge amount and so it only lasts about a year but is well worth it.

At first, I loved this printer. I always bought HP products but their quality seemed to be slipping. The first 6 months my Brother printer worked great. Then it started to draw so much extra power, it shut down my MacPro. I had to hire an electrician to install a dedicated line since I got NO SATISFACTION from Brother's customer service.

Worked excellent for about 6 months. Now wrinkles nearly every page on duplex. Replaced the toner and drum, still having the same issue.

The printer worked great for a year and a half, then the fuser stopped working. Brother took care of the fuser problem, but after changing to new drum, toner spills everywhere inside unit. Several calls have reset the printer settings, but I have to use air to clean all the toner powder out of one side of the toner cartridge and the drum or I get streaks and spots all over my print-outs. Very frustrating. I am paying a lot of money for toner that ends up in the trash! Ironically, all these issues began the instant that I changed the drum for the first time. Not to mention the fact that I had to change the drum way before the supposed number of copies that it should have been able to print. Brother Customer Service representatives were nice and tried to help, but still having issues.

I had a need for monochrome printing, color is just not one of my requirements. Look at several printers and the features of a laser print and high speed is winner for the Brother printer. I do not like ink jet and the resolution of printing is excellent.

The print is blurry and I constantly get paper jams. I've only had it for 4 months. I purchased a new replacement brother toner cartridge and drum unit. I cleaned the internal parts as directed. The blurry print and the paper jams continue. I'm done. I should have stayed with my old MFC 7340.

First and foremost *** this unit has a very high initial surge *** We have had difficulty finding an outlet in our home where the 1000 plus watt initial surge that you get on every print job sent (once the unit enters sleep mode didn't cause problems. If you don't have a dedicated circuit or one very lightly loaded expect tripped breakers. Expect to see your UPS systems tripping even if on a different circuit, the hard initial surge (even with the latest firmware) is enough to drop voltages on the same phase but a different breaker several volts. If you can get past the surge issue then it is a decent printer, quiet, fast and a credible replacement to the HL-52XX series. The Brother site had Linux drivers and PPD files for Linux use if your distribution doesn't include them. The instructions are clear and not difficult to follow.

I love the ease of use with this printer. I needed a high speed printer with wireless and large paper storage capabilities, and this Brother printer fit the bill beating the competition with price and function.

The printer works well in a shipping warehouse. Runs without issue.

A little heavy getting it out of the box, but that just told me it was a solid machine like I used to buy years ago, and well worth the money. It's fast, reliable, so far trouble-free. Replaced an aging 5760 that was overworked, and ready to be replaced. Solved a lot of printing problems, mostly, allowed quality printing on-time, not worrying that we would be clearing printer issues when on deadline,

I really like this printer for the speed and the capacity of the tray. The one thing I noticed is that there isn't a shutoff if the output tray is too full, unless we are missing something. It isn't too bad to watch when printing, but I have had papers fall out on the floor/desktop when I have been busy. Otherwise we haven't had any issues with it.

Printer itself works fine, both via WIFI and wired. Cannot get the Google Cloud Print to work with this printer, even after several hours of tech support with Google and Brother. Printer shows up as offline, even when it is "ready".

I bought 2 units for our office. One is heavily used (10k per month and another not so (2k per month) much. Fuser was replaced twice (covered by warranty) when unit reached ~30k prints. After fuser failed 3rd time - Brother send me a refurb. unit as a replacement. I hope that it is not a common issue and that I just happened to have a defective unit.

I own all types of Brother products spanning various product types. This is my third Brother printer, replacing a 9 year old multifunctional printer. While I did not pay attention to the fact that it does not have a scanner function (I did not need fax as the other one I own has it), the machine prints very, very quickly, does not jam-- just works as advertised. The wireless function is flawless. Very, very nice, indeed. The only thing I wish Brother would do is to have an Android app that connects smoothly to the Android Adobe pdf and Microsoft programs so I don't have to take so many steps to print through my Android phablet.

So far I like this printer. I will let you know in a year if I still feel the same way. I purchased this one because it used the same toner cartridge as my old Brother and since the toner cost is almost 1/2 the price of the printer and I had a new cartridge on hand for my old printer thought I'd try this one. If it doesn't last longer than the old one I won't be purchasing anlther.

This printer works as advertised. The only problem I have with this printer is when you are entering the router password of the router for wireless printing, the printer does not give you enough time to go to the next step before defaulting back to zero. I have to try at least ten times before I was quick enough the same the password.

I just hope the HL-6180DW last longer than the HL-5470DW did. Had to replace the drum and the fusion bar within 2 1/5 years of having the machine.

This is a great printer. It runs Quietly, Flawlessly and at a low cost per page. It prints on both sides with no jam up as I had on my previous printers. I really enjoy the quick and quit pages it prints.

Our company purchased 2 HL-6180DW printers. Features were exactly what we needed. Worked wonderful for a couple of months then the quality of printing went down and then broke. Not one of the printers but both. Yes, we use only brother drums and toner. It didn't make a difference. Customer service took care of replacing the printer after a very long and drawn out phone call to someone who spoke poor english. It was so bad when the second printer started having the same problem, we didn't even bother calling them. We are down to the refurbished replacement and when it goes we will not purchase brother products again. Our company owns other models and they have been a heartbreak pain in the rear as well.

This printer has been excellent for our small business. The print is consistently sharp and the delivery is very fast. The larger paper capacity means less time spent having to refill. We have three Brother printers in our office. While we have had to replace two of them recently, we have owned them over ten years. we have been very happy with their longevity. They are real work horses.

Works efficiently, has good value for its price....it actually has a large bin for paper and feeds envelopes...I would make the envelope feeder holder more envelopes...otherwise it is perfect for our law office.

Purchased this printer 16 months ago and for the first eight months it worked well, nice clean fast prints. The last six months have been a mess, ink powder coming out everywhere, I've replaced both the Drum Unit and the toner cartridge, it works for a week or two and then ink everywhere again, this has been going and on. Brother is just not the brand it used to be. I've never had a printer this short lived and horrible as this one (I'm a small tax accountant and have been in business for seventeen years).

extremely satisfied with this unit. we are having a bit of an issue with paper jams on the first print job each morning with the first page jamming. once cleared we go all day with no errors. We have two additional HL-6180s put in service same date over a year ago an no problems. Brother is working with us to identify the problem. we will be buying 2 more to finish our system.

I replaced an HP laser printer with this machine. This machine is really good for printing envelopes with a straight through path. The back opens up and the envelopes go straight through without wrinkling.. Its also prints duplex really well which saves money on paper. I really love this machine.

The good: Good print quality and print speed The bad: When I first picked up the box I expected it to be much heavier. Once unpacked, the printer feels cheap. The plastic is much thinner than the HL-6050 that it replaces and the paper feed rollers are smaller. Brother was my go-to manufacturer for office equipment but the printer and the previous purchase of an Intellifax machine demonstrate that Brother is going the route of so many other manufacturers which is to produce the cheapest product possible. I can't speak to longevity of this machine but I certainly do not expect it to last anywhere near as long as its more solidly built predecessor. Also worthy of note is that fact that the first one I received was broken. The paper lift gear mechanism for the paper tray was in pieces. This speaks to the low quality of plastic being used. Warranty replacement should have been easier but I was forced to load paper in the tray then report every error message to the tech before he would acknowledge that it was defective. This machine was purchased by business that only uses a debit card for emergency credit card purchases and Brother would not accept it for a $50 hold they need to place on a credit card to insure return of the defective unit. I had to use a personal credit card. Finally, the printer is being used on a network and I wanted to install only the driver (no driver install app, no utilities). I could not identify the appropriate .inf file on the provided disc so had to download the driver file.

So far I am very happy with this printer. It was very easy to install on a wireless mode basis. No power surp problems that other reviewer had. Also, the speed of the printer is very fast.
