Good for run-of-the-mill stuff.......2006-10-15

For passing 8.5x11 sheets in an office environment, this printer is fine.

It plugs in, defaults to using DHCP to say hi to the computers on your network. You can also config it to static IP. Supports a lot of nice admin stuff and FTP. Check manual before buying. I've been most impressed by the software end of this thing. Very thorough from my POV.

The mixed-tone color is pretty dotty. Would not recommend this if you were using it for release material (like CD art, pamphlets, etc) Solid colors are good and kind of glossy and the picture quality does not degrade to the point of being unreadable or anything like that. (usually - tiny text can sometimes grain up)

Works pretty well with good old fashioned 8.5x11. Paper jams occur but are rare enough.

It's not recommended, but I have been successful printing CD art (j-cards and booklets) with it. Sometimes it experiences a paper jam at A1 but nothing TOO messy*. On some days it jams up a lot with CD art, other days it will do 500 units without a hitch. Weather?

*cardboard stuck in the heating roller was a nightmare though.

It is not LOUD, but it is noisy. Sounds like a microwave making popcorn. Stuff it in the closet and save your sanity.

The toner lasts a long time if you are a causal home user of the printer. If you normally purchase new toner you'll want to get extra toner soon as these are not 100% full cartridges.

Important unpacking advice: If it arrives cold from the weather, take it out of the packaging and just let it sit for a day to warm up - do NOT plug it in. There is mechanical stuff which will squeal, snag, and scrape on the inside if cold and can damage some very expensive parts.

Also be careful when removing the securing tape, particularly from the inside-some of it gets secured in a manner which will rip off components if you're not cautious in peeling the tape. Peel, don't pull.

a graphic designer's opinion.......2006-06-20

i just got this printer. used it yesterday and today to find out that the photo quality in not just "not amazing" but quite poor. solid colors are fine, but, for example, when printing an area that's 100% yellow and 50% magenta, the dots are very noticeable. the registration of the colors is also quite bad, so it looks poor when, for example again, you print a size 12 font with serif that's white on blue. you can see the magenta around the white font. blacks are fine at 100%, but any gradient under that looks just not satisfactory. you can easily notice the dots, and type in gray becomes had to read due to the lack of continued lines -because of the dot size- and the inconsistency of the solid gray area.

Brother Color Laser Printer Trap.......2006-02-10

Our office purchased this printer 1 year ago (Feb 2005), and have had little trouble with it until two weeks ago. Suddenly, we received an "error EF 5 warning" message. The manual (had to down load that, first) instructs turning off the printer for a few minutes, and then re-starting. This solution worked for a time, until the machine would not warm up without hitting this message.

Brother tech support (email) was slow to respond, but recommended a new OCP belt, at $ 500 to $ 600! A local Brother authorized repair shop technician, in the meantime, suggested replacing the fuser. We could not find a price for a fuser at our office supply sources nor at Brother Mall.

Before going any further, we are going to have the machine diagnosed for $ 50. Even though we purchased a warranty extension, it appears this problem is not covered, as the supposed resolution is a consumable element.

Lesson: stay away from this machine!

Nice, effective printer if you have the space.......2005-10-06

The Brother CN2700 has some nice features, particularly its network capability. I have it set up on my wireless home network so all 3 computers can print on it from anywhere in the house. Installation was a breeze, both with a direct USB cable and via network. Print quality is very good, and this printer's strength is in low-cost color web graphics/line art. DO NOT purchase the printer for photos....the manual states that you CANNOT use glossy paper. Photographic print quality is decent, but NOT worthy of hanging on a wall. For that, buy a decent injet printer. The printer is loud with a fan and clunking noises upon startup, but shortly goes into standby mode and is perfectly quiet. Printing is quite loud, but impressively quick. The toner cartridges are very expensive, but notice that they give you twice as many pages as the competitions' cartridges. They are half full in a new printer and should therefore last for over 3000 pages. This printer is LARGE, so don't forget to look at the dimensions. It is quite a bit larger than my laser multi-function machine. It is also tremendously heavy at 70lbs. Overall a good buy, but make sure you have a large spot to put it. 4 stars because of supply cost...over $600 to replace all 4 toners when the time comes!

Would have loved it.......2005-10-01

I ordered this aparently when amazon.com made a mistake on the price. They refused to honor it inspite of receiving payment. I had plans for this printer so now I'm not too comfortable ordeing from amazon.
