Good compact color laser printer by Grace Kaszycki on amazon.com Jun 16, 2012
Good compact printer for home use. Good print quality. Requires Ethernet cable to connect to the wireless router, which is not included.
 
Excellent product -- best printer. by Satisfied Customer on bhphotovideo.com Jan 21, 2012
I needed a reliable home printer and wanted to get away from InkJet printers. I bought my HL-3070CW over a year ago. It was money well spent. Connectivity over wireless network is excellent to either Mac or PC. The printer starts up when needed and sleeps ...
 
Fast Prints, Good Looking Images, Great Price! by mwjoe on bestbuy.com Apr 29, 2011
I've had about 20 printers for my office in the last 10 years all the major brands and the best brand for the price and performance has always been brother. This Brother HL-3070CW so far has lived up to my last brother laser printer which is 9 years old ...

Poor Quality and HORRIBLE customer service!! by Marc R. Breitsprecher on amazon.com Jun 11, 2012

Fine printer but DEVOURS toner by Sperring on bestbuy.com Sep 3, 2010

Office use but not for photos by surfingduck on amazon.com May 10, 2012
This printer is designed for wireless connections. It was an easy set up for me with wired connections. There were visible tone horizontal lines across the photos. The printer could be used inside business transactions. I was disappointed I have bought this printer.
 
Worst printer I've owned by Richard B Glaser on amazon.com Nov 13, 2011
The print quality isn't bad- if, (and it's a big if) you can get the printer to work. It's billed as a network printer, but it never seems to recognize the network and it takes all kinds of machinations (like doing a hard reset) to get it to work. Then ...

You know, printing a color chart is not as demanding as printing a photo...Total consumable costs per page in the 20 cent range, and more for good photo prints, makes this cheaper than an inkjet, but not cheap, and faster than an inkjet, but not fast...My HP LaserJet 6MP works flawlessly with the JetDirect 300x and printing is now so much faster since data reaches the printer at 100BaseT speeds instead of the poky 10BaseT-to-AppleTalk speed...

That may not sound that bad, but our office is only open two days a week, and printing when open is very limited...After giving this printer a good bashing for poor envelope printing, I downloaded the pdf user's guide and found that there are two gray levers on either side of the rear pass-thru door that need to be locked down before printing envelopes...And it didn't even tell me there was a paper jam! I'm man enough to say I'm sorry, and I'll give you a recommendation this time, little printer...

Small offices and workgroups are the focus of Brother's HL-3070CW LED-based colour printer...As small offices and workgroups will likely be run out of homes or - obviously - small office spaces, Brother designed the HL-3070CW so it won't occupy too much space...Moving to our more complex monochrome and colour text and image PDF documents, the HL-3070CW impressed us again with its speed of 13.3ppm and 12ppm...

Fast...Reasonably small size...High-quality text...Graphics and photo quality suitable for internal business use....Relatively high cost per page...Limited paper handling....The HL-3070CW ($349.99 direct) fills that slot...At 9.8 by 16.1 by 18.3 inches, the HL-3070CW is small enough to share a desk with, and at 41.9 pounds, it's relatively light...The combination makes it a good fit for micro and home offices, as well making it a more comfortable desktop companion...

The Brother HL-3070CW colour printer is one of the company's first to use LED technology...Competing with entry-level colour laser printers, the HL-3070CW is reasonably quick and it's easy to set up – REVISED 2 APRIL 2012...While network printers aren't noted for their chiseled good looks, the Brother HL-3070CW is remarkably unprepossessing...Its bi-coloured livery makes for a slightly jarring effect that isn't eased by the enormous depth of this printer - just 250mm high, it nevertheless stretches back for a good 466mm...At least the navigation system is logical and easy to use...

In the case of the HL-3070CW, there are four vertically aligned drums, with the paper making a single pass...We even tried photos, but while the colours were natural-seeming and had good coverage on the page, we were disappointed by the levels of streaking and banding...The HL-3070CW is fast and well-connected, with good output for this class of printer, but it doesn't quite surpass the Labs Winner HL-4040CN in print speed...

The HL-3070CW promises much, but high print costs and less-than-impressive output make this a disappointing offering...The HL-3070CW is a Soho or small workgroup printer, falling between the prices of typical entry-level machines on the cheaper side and full workgroup devices on the more expensive...It's also a much more compact engine, and the HL-3070CW shows this in its low-profile design...There are a number of consumables to consider, although the transfer belt and waste toner unit, with lives of 50,000 pages each, may be outside the service life of the machine...

Brother HL-3070CW - Colour LED Printer Review-Hardware Infomation and Computer Tutorials
Until recently, OKI was the only printer maker to use LED illumination in its printers, rather than a laser beam, but at the end of last year Brother introduced a range of LED-based printers using similar mechanisms...Thanks to the compact LED mechanism the HL-3070CW has a surprisingly low profile and, although it's quite deep, it still has a very convenient footprint for the small office...There's a single line, 16-character LCD display, with a good backlight and next to this is a square of buttons for menu navigation and then two to start and cancel print jobs...There's a front panel USB socket, unusual in a colour printer in this price range, which can handle both PictBridge print from a camera and certain file types, such as PDF and TIF, from a USB drive...
