Brother HL-L2361 Toner Cartridges

Brother HL-L2361 Printer Review

The Brother HL-L2361 doesn't aim to be the fastest monochrome laser printer in its class, but it still impresses, at up to 32 pages per minute. Instead, it strikes a balance between high-quality, quick printing and a low price that makes it a perfect fit for the home office or small office user. Wireless networking and mobile printing are included, and cost-efficient Brother HL-L2361 printer toner keeps operating costs under control.

The HL-L2361, sometimes referred to as the HL-L2361DW, is built for desktop use. It has a footprint of just 14x14.2 inches, and it is only 7.2 inches tall. It is also easy to set up and move around, as it weighs just 15 pounds with the Brother HL-L2361 toner supply installed. The main input paper tray can hold up to 250 sheets, and a single-sheet manual feed can handle media like envelopes and transparencies.

Connection options include an ethernet port for networking, a USB port, and support for Wi-Fi connections. Wi-Fi Protected Setup can help users connect it to an existing networking with the touch of only a few buttons, and the unit also supports mobile printing from smartphones and tablets.

Replacement toners will be needed fairly early, as the starter Brother HL-L2361 toner cartridge has a small yield of only 700 pages. The standard Brother HL-L2361 toner cartridges are much better, however, with a yield of 2,600 pages. Users can also find compatible supplies at much better prices than standard OEM supplies.

With easy wireless setup, a compact design, and a very low purchase price, the Brother HL-L2361 is tailor made for home users, but it would also fit well in a low-volume small office. Its print speeds and high-quality output make it an appealing choice, especially considering its price tag.
