What do you print?  A Laser printer will have some limitations but also some advantages over ink models. Primary advantages:  Speed and Toner never dries up Primary limitations: Borderless printing is all but unheard of in laser systems.  Label media is generally more limited due to the heat involved.  Photo prints never really exceed magazine quality.  Power consumption while printing is substantially higher. Since print quality is a major factor, forget that third party supplies exist for any manufacturer.  You get exactly what you pay for with them, cheap but not top quality.  Budget for OEM and you'll be far happier long term.  As a home user you likely won't buy them often since they print thousands of normal pages so when you figure price per page they're a lot less scary.  This is one case where savings look good but aren't. I know everyone here hates HP, but Costco does have one of their Color LaserJet models too, it's substantially smaller than the Brother model and will save you $200.  The hate is mostly due to ink models and third party supplies, which you really don't want if you value quality anyway.

r/Costco on Reddit: Looking for a Costco printer recommendation.
August 22, 2017 -

I'm looking for a new printer and prefer to buy from Costco. I do NOT care about scanning or fax, all I need is low maintenance and color printing (doesn't need to be high photo quality). It will be used in a home setting. I often go 2 months without printing, but might have to print 50 pages then. Budget is $300 unless you convince me otherwise. I thought about the Epson EcoTank, but apparently they're not a good choice if you don't print often. Thanks!

Edit: I followed the advice given, and just put a Costco order in for the Brother HLL3290CDWB. Thanks everyone!!!!

For years I used to buy cheap HP printers at Costco. They are cheap because HP makes their money on ink. The ink supplied with the new printer rarely last more than a week or 2.

Looking for a Costco printer recommendation.

If you're doing intermittent printing with lots of delay in between I'd STRONGLY encourage you to go the laser route. Toner doesn't dry up when it's not used.

r/printers on Reddit: Reliable color Costco printer for home use?
November 24, 2024 -

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)

The cheapest printers often aren’t the best bargain in the long run because many use a lot of ink for both printing and main-tenance cycles. Consider an inkjet printer with a refillable ink tank, or a laser printer with low toner replacement costs, to get the most bang for your buck.
