Mike, Cambridge Business user
- Good points:
- A good all round printer for producing high quality double sided printing that is consistent with the expectations of corporate clients. Just what I was looking for and at a price that was within reach. This is the third Brother printer I have bought and I have always been pleased with the quality and reliability.
- Bad points:
- Nothing I have come across yet.
