Brother DCP-8050DN Toner Cartridges

Brother DCP-8050DN Printer Review

The Brother DCP-8050dn is a basic monochrome laser printer that was built to be a reliable personal device with a quick output rate and professional-quality results. It does not have any color capabilities, but is one of the finest printers when it comes to black-and-white text documents. Though the DCP-8050dn has been discontinued by Brother and lacks the special features to truly compete against more modern technology, it is durable against years of use.

Brother DCP-8050dn toner has the ability to print text or graphics that have a resolution of up to 1200x1200 dpi. This quality is above average for older laser printers. The maximum paper capacity is 300 sheets, which is broken down into two input trays. One tray can hold up to 250 pieces of standard paper while the other tray is a 50-sheet multimedia tray. Media types such as envelopes, labels and transparencies will fit on this tray.

There is one Brother DCP-8050dn toner cartridge that holds the black printer toner necessary for production. There is a replacement Brother DCP-8050dn toner cartridge that has a page yield of 3,000 sheets and one that can produce as many as 8,000 pages. Remanufactured toners are also available for this model, which provides users with a more economical choice when it comes to maintaining the DCP-8050dn.

One thing this unit does offer is basic copying capabilities which will be helpful in a work environment. Spec sheets are hard to come by for the DCP-8050dn, making it difficult to truly understand the strength and quality this laser printer is capable of. Affordable replacement Brother DCP-8050dn toner helps to keep maintenance costs low and the high yields will reduce the cost per page. Overall, when it comes down to it, this unit will be a positive addition to an office or home but will not be able to provide fancy features.
