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)

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!!!!
