Brother HL-L2360DW Toner Cartridges

Brother HL-L2360DW Printer Review

As an upgrade from the similar HL-L2340 model, the Brother HL-L2360DW laser printer offers a bit more speed, at a maximum of 32 pages per minute, and also adds a wired ethernet port for more flexibility. Otherwise, it offers the same great features and compact design, and still utilizes very affordable Brother HL-L2360DW printer toner supplies to keep costs down over time.

As the sole model in the HL-L2360 series, the "DW" in its model name highlights its inclusion of duplexing and wireless networking. Its ability to be quickly connected and shared across a Wi-Fi network will particularly appeal to home users who don't want to have to worry about placing it near an ethernet port or cable. Ethernet is still an option for those who need it, however.

The automatic duplexing feature is a nice touch, offering quick two-sided printing without the need for user intervention, while also saving on paper usage. The TonerSave mode can be enabled to help users get more out of each Brother HL-L2360DW toner supply as well, with only a slight decrease in print quality. Paper handling is fairly robust for such a compact device, with a 250-sheet main tray supplemented by a single-sheet manual feed slot, which also has a straight paper path for less bending.

Replacement toners will be needed early, as the starter Brother HL-L2360DW toner cartridge included in the box lasts for only around 700 pages. Standard supplies last for 1,200 pages, however, and the high-capacity Brother HL-L2360DW toner cartridges can offer around 2,600 pages of output.

With such a compact size and wireless capabilities, the Brother HL-L2360DW can easily be placed on a desktop almost anywhere in the home. Along with this convenience, it still offers fast speeds and sharp quality at a very low price, making it one of the best values in its class.
