Best Laser Printers Windows Central 2019

If you need to print in large quantities or just want something that looks extra sharp, then a laser printer is a good investment. Laser printers do take some time to heat up, and upfront costs are more than inkjet printers. Still, for volume and clarity, they can't be beaten, making them particularly good value for businesses and home office environments.

Conclusion

All of these are excellent laser printers, but the Brother HL-L2350DW has the edge. It's well priced, offers quality and efficiency, and won't look out of place in the home or office. And it's not enormous either, which is always helpful!

You don't get everything with this printer, for example, you can't print in color. But given the more regular use cases for laser printers, it's not a massive omission. Folks looking for top quality color prints will want an inkjet printer, anyway.

The party piece is the Amazon Dash integration. Once set up, the printer can order its own replacement toner, so you never have to worry about running out at the crucial time. And automating a task such as ordering printer toner will never be a bad thing!
