Brother HL-4070CDW Color Laser Printer
The HL-4070CDW is the fast, color laser printer that everyone has been waiting for. Offering the same print speed and print quality as the HL-4040CN, the HL-4070CDW also features built-in duplexing for two-sided printing, and a wireless interface. With print speeds reaching 21ppm for both color and monochrome you can now produce brilliant color output fast and easy. Using the duplex printing feature, you can reduce your printing costs and produce professional looking two-sided documents, presentations and brochures.
The HL-4070CDW uses flexible connectivity, with its built in wireless and ethernet interfaces as well as hi-speed USB 2.0 and parallel ports. With the USB direct interface you can print PDF and JPEG files directly from a USB flash memory drive without connecting to your PC. Connect directly to any PictBridge enabled digital camera to print pictures from the camera, without first downloading to a PC.

Brother HL-4070CDW Color Laser Printer user reviews
Pros: Fast warmup and print, great print quality, automatic duplexing is something I need (and hard to find at this price point.) Network priting works perfectly. Brother Tech Support was responsive and accurate.
Cons: Original black toner started leaking at under 200 page count.
Other Thoughts: After seeing some of the comments here, I dreaded calling Brother Tech Support for the leaking black toner. They did make me go through some useless scripted steps, like a power-cycle the unit, reseating all the toner cartridges, and cleaning the corona wires. But that only took a few minutes, and they got a free replacement toner shipped out the same day once the problem was obvious. They even offered to send a tech to my office to clean up the inside of the printer. I told them it did not look too bad, but I would call back if I needed someone to come out. The new toner cartridge is working fine so far. "
What's great about it: Fairly easy set-up, nice print quality
What's not so great: Size, slightly noisey
"I spent a couple of weeks reviewing color laser printers online before this purchase. I visited a local store to see how this model functions.
Overall I am impressed with 4070CDW. After passing my confidence check with the product after a couple of days, I donated my HP laser and HP inkjet printers to a non-profit without looking back. I bought it primarily for home/personal use. We have 2 computers (one is a wireless laptop and the other is a desktop). 2 more wireless computers for the family are pending.
I bought this model aware of some less than positive comments about:
- Size of the printer (It is a larger model that came in a very big box, but its size is not that cumbersome once out of the box. From the reviews, this model appears to be more meant for small office/business rather than home so the size was expected.)
- noise during printing (True, but the sound does not last that long [warmup plus actual printing]. For a very small home office, it might be annoying. However, the printed page quality is worth the distraction.)
- curling of printed page (It is not really noticeable. Relatively minor issue.)
- Set up of the wifi (I dreaded the possibility of calling a Help Desk like during the set up of other wireless equipment in the house. However, I was successfully able to get the wifi set up with the provided instructions after 2 trys and about 30 minutes.)
- wifi range (Does not seem to be an issue with our house. Works just fine 3 rooms away from the laptop. No complaints from other family users in the house.)
I am very satisified with printed pages (both B/W and color).""
