HL-3170
Step up a gear and the Brother HL-3170 delivers 23 ppm color printing — noticeably faster than its 18 ppm siblings. Automatic duplex, 128MB of memory, and a 333MHz processor handle heavier queues, while Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and USB make setup painless anywhere. This single-function color laser runs on TN221/TN225 toner; the high-yield TN225 keeps per-page costs down at higher volumes.
