We just returned out Epson ET-2850 due to it churning out unusable prints. I researched and it looks like Brother is the go to recommended brand around here. I would like to try out a laser printer but the only one that does color is the MFC-L8895CDW at $650 which is quite steep for a household that doesn't print much but needs a printer that will just work for years to come. Were sick of constant issues so if going this route gives us a reliable printer we will spring for it.

Next question about the above, is the MFC-L8895CDW DRM protected? The Brother's brand toner is quite expensive compared to aftermarket cartridges that it says it takes (TN-436)

This is my first printer that uses ink tanks, and it’s so satisfying watching them fill up from the ink bottles. This seems like such a more cost effective and environmentally friendly way to print too.
