I’ve had a brother printer going on 10 years and it’s never let me down. I’ve changed toner three times over that time and each cart has never cost me more than 20 ish quid. No DRM carts, no jamming, no subscriptions just a printer that does its job. Even when it’s running low, it doesn’t prevent me printing, it’ll let me know it’s low then keep on printing until you can’t see the letters any more.
I swear, if it weren’t for the fact that I’ve also had good experiences with Brother, I’d be thinking they have an insanely good astroturfing department. Every time there’s a thread about printers, there are dozens of comments saying how good they are.
10 years ? Mine is around 20 years old. I slapped a Raspberry Pi on it to have it network-enabled and it still works like a champ.
Never ever will I buy another brand.

Having a brother laser printer as well it’s honestly not even about how good brother printers are, just about how shitty the competition is.
I have a friend who works in the engineering department of HP designing ink jet printing heads.
He uses Brother at home. They’re actually that good.
