This Brother is a keeper

This is one of Brother’s newer printer models and one of a fleet of monochrome printers released just before 2018. It weighs in at a lean 15.9 pounds and measures just 7.2 x 14 x 14.2 inches. With a maximum monthly duty cycle of 15,000 pages and a 250-page input tray, it will exceed the needs of most individuals with small businesses or busy home offices and compares favorably to the competition in the same price bracket.

Connectivity features for this model are pared down to a single USB port for connecting to a PC, Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi Direct. It is also compatible with Apple Airprint, Brother iPrint&Scan, and Google Cloud Print, so printing from any device is a breez. When it comes to managing the printer directly, the interface is quite minimalistic. As strange as it sounds considering the status quo, I actually prefer the L2350DW’s simple LCD display and button interface over the clunky, slow, cheap touch screens rampant on more expensive models. This model communicates functionality and pragmatism, which I appreciate. I am accustomed to fumbling with myriad features I don't necessarily need and scarcely understand, only to never use those features again. The L2350DW can also be managed through an SSL encrypted website over Wi-Fi, giving you more ample customization options.

While it’s a trim and straightforward device, the L2350DW prints fast enough that I actually find it... intriguing. I occasionally relish the opportunity to print a text document, and said text comes out looking smooth and nicely shaped. I never hesitate to use this printer for almost any office document.

As far as drivers go… I honestly don’t have much to report. Everything was recognized automatically, even on an old Windows 7 laptop I fired up for testing. And I breathe the freshest breath of air.

The major drawback to this printer, in my mind, is the fact that pictures don’t come out particularly gorgeous. While it’s not the banded horror of monochrome printers from years past, it’s not the best option if you plan on having a lot of detailed symbols and shapes from, say, a rather gussied up Excel file. However, for basic shaded graphs, charts, and gradients, this is not an issue at all.

Personally, as a grad student, tech reviewer, and military contractor with three kids in the house, all in grade school, and a wife who hates reading on a screen (I have learned not to question this), the L2350DW fits the bill perfectly and I never expect to exceed the print volume this product can handle. I’m thrilled with the speed and text clarity, and perfectly happy with the price per page. This is a definite recommendation.

First Brother I purchased. Will stick with Canon. The main short coming is the paper tray has to be full for quality prints.

No purchase again
