I just bought my parents a Brother HLL3280CDW color laser printer and printed some pretty colorful graphics and omg the color quality was straight up tra—fine actually, good actually?
I was pretty surprised because I tend to see posts talk about how horrible laser color printers are and my experience seems to be exactly the opposite. At least on this Brother printer, printing big color charts, graphics, with full color backgrounds and patterns, seems great. I can’t tell the difference between laser and inkjet.
they’re trash for photo printing
I haven’t tried this yet, but maybe one of these days I’ll buy some glossy photo paper and try printing photos. I’ll have to report back.
They’re fine for charts and graphics, but they’re going to lack depth and vibrancy on photos. It is what it is, I’m absolutely not dissing laser printers they’re great, inkjets are just better for that job.
