People don’t always like to go for color laser printers, now that inkjet printers are available for cheap. And with a name like “Brother HL-L8360CDW,” people are more likely to turn away from it. But if you can live with the downsides of a color laser printer, this is the best office printer and the best printer for small business at this price. It also has what it takes to be one of the best printer for art prints and probably the best printer you can buy today!

Why We Like It – Brother All In One Laser Color Printer

The Brother All In One Laser Color Printer is a very unique laser printer that comes with great specs for its price. Uniqueness doesn’t always mean good, but the Brother All In One Laser Color Printer is actually very good. And you’re going to see that in our review.

Pros
  • Automatic double sided printing
  • Amazon Dash Replenishment ready
  • Gigabit Ethernet and Wi Fi | Included ink toner yield of 3000 pages (black/white) 1800 pages (Color)
Cons
  • Doesn’t have a scanner or copier

Speed

The Brother HL L8360CDW multifunction printer is very fast and can print out up to 33 pages per minute (black white). And the triple-layer security features don’t degrade the printing speeds in any way, which is good. But, if you can stay content with a monochrome laser printer and need even more output, you can also go for the Brother MFCL2750DW.

Print Quality

You can select up to 2400 x 600 DPI in the options, and that’s perfectly fine for office use. The print quality is also reasonably good. And that statement holds true even when you enable double sided printing (duplex printing). But then again, it won’t hold a candle to a high quality print copy from higher-end home printers. If you need something like that, you should rather go for the Canon Pixma iP110.

Efficiency

Obviously, this color laser printer is not going to be as power-efficient as modern inkjet printers. But it’s at least better than the Brother MFC lineup. And this one printer has support for a lot of different ink toner cartridges. So even if yours runs out, you can easily find a replacement one.

Advanced Features

This Brother All In One Laser Color Printer features an adjustable paper tray (250 paper capacity), with slots for adding more, which’s perfect for a small office. However, not having the “print scan” option and an automatic document feeder at this price really hurts this printer a lot.

Value

Overall this Brother All In One Laser Color Printer provides pretty good value for the money you spend behind it. Also, the Amazon Dash Replenishment service is a godsend. It measures the toner level and automatically orders more from when it’s low. But if you can stretch your budget a bit more, you can also get the Brother MFC-L3770CDW Laser printer.

Brother All In One Laser Color Printer Wrap Up

Nowadays, with smart home devices and mobile printing becoming a standard, the Brother HL L8360CDW Wi Fi printer holds up just fine. And with its $350 price point for a home office, you can’t go wrong with this printer.
