Toner is very reasonably priced from them and lasts forever. Plus, no sketchy things like forced registration. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Angius@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Now if only they were reasonably sized like inkjets too... permalink fedilink source parent [–] TwoGems@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (2 children) Can you recommend me a recent one that prints color too? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] fry@fry.gs [S] 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) I've been using the HL-L8360 for a few years and I still haven't had to replace the cartridges it came with. Gone through probably 8-10 reams of paper in that time. The starter cartridges are the smallest of the three sizes too, so when they go I'll just buy the big ones and probably be good for a half decade or more haha! If you're looking for something a little cheaper, you could look into something like the HLL3210. I'm not sure which is true laser and which is LED, but usually the inexpensive ones are LED and not true laser printers. Really that only matters if you're looking for that extra-crisp text from a laser printer. For day-to-day printing you'll never care or notice. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TwoGems@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Thanks permalink fedilink source parent [–] MeanEYE@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Literally anything from Brother is good.
