Brother 360 Toner
Brother 360 Toner
What should i need to know before i buy a laser printer to replace my inkjet?
iv had enough with the expensive ink replacement procedures with my HP officejet, so i am eyeing a replacement, a laser one
i plan on getting this printer:
This printer already comes with a temporary ink supply, providing 1,000 printed pages.
When i need more ink, i will need to buy the Brother Laser Toner Drum Unit (DR-360), which costs $140, and this will provide 12,000 pages

Is this a good deal? What other maintenance and expenses should i be aware of with laser printers?
thanks for any feedback

You need to understand your needs.
When I got my laser printer I looked at what I was mostly printing and it was black text 90% of the time. As a result, I got a monochrome, b & w so to speak, laser printer. That reduced a lot of the cost in buying a laser printer as there is no color with monochrome laser printers.
I looked at whether I really need it too. I determined I do. I will be printing stuff for school, university school work. I will be printing a thesis, professional university level papers, etc.. and I need to use all I can to make my papers look as professional as I can.
In addition, I looked at what I will spend for toner with this printer vs. the inkjet I already had. I found out that I can get compatible toner and do not have to buy the toner specifically from the manufacture. That makes the toner much cheaper. In the end, the price for the toner came out to be less then what I was spending for ink with my inkjet.
Lastly, you need to make sure that the toner and drum are not one thing; meaning, you have to buy a new drum every time you buy new toner. To be honest, I did not look at that when I was looking for a laser printer, but I did get lucky and ended up getting a printer that did not have that.
With the printer I have the toner can be replaced without replacing the drum. I can though, only replace the toner 4 or 5 times before the drum needs replacing. Nonetheless, I do not have to replace the drum each and every time and that significantly reduces cost.
Make sure too, that any laser printer you get, if you determine you really do need one, can print 23 pages per minute or better and can print at a resolution of 600 x1,200dpi or better on the maximum resolution settings for the printer. You may not need that high of a resolution but it is nice to have if you ever do need it.
