Brother MFC-L8850 Toner Cartridges

Brother MFC-L8850 Printer Review

The Brother MFC-L8850 offers color laser printer along with faxing, copying, and scanning, and does it all without too much bulk. Its compact footprint can save space in a small office, yet it can still reach maximum speeds of up to 32 pages per minute. With options like automatic duplexing and mobile printing, it doesn't lack for advanced features, but Brother MFC-L8850 printer toner supplies can be a little pricey to replace.

The unit goes by the alternate model name of MFC-L8850CDW, which calls attention to its three biggest features: color printing, duplexing, and wireless support. Though it does an excellent job of color printing, at a resolution of up to 2400x600 dpi, many office users might end up using its walk-up functions of scanning, copying, and faxing more often. This may be due in large part to the intuitive 4.85-inch color touchscreen display, which is a joy to use.

Users looking to save on replacement toners will be happy to see a full complement of scanning features. Whether sharing scanned documents via email or saving them to mobile devices or cloud services, the machine is designed to handle digital workflows with ease, while saving on Brother MFC-L8850 toner and paper at the same time.

The Brother MFC-L8850 toner cartridges are easy to replace, with each of the four supplies color-coded for easy insertion. The Brother MFC-L8850 toner cartridges are also available in both standard and high-capacity versions, boosting from 1,500-2,500 pages to 3,500-4,000 pages in output yields. While the high-capacity versions help to drop the cost per page, it is still a fairly expensive machine to operate.

Buyers considering the Brother MFC-L8850 should note its costly supplies and plan for only occasional color printing. Utilizing its other great features, however, should give users enough ways to save on operating costs and make it affordable, especially when utilizing its digital workflows.
