Brother HL-1440 Review

- WHAT'S HOT: We found plenty of things to like about the HL-1440. Near the top of our list is the HL-1440's $300 price tag, which makes a laser printer as affordable as a high-quality ink jet. The HL-1440 also prints clean, smooth black text and even surprised PC World's review panel with good detail and shading on gray-scale graphics. When the PC World Test Center retested the HL-1440 using Windows XP, its text-printing performance fell to 10.9 ppm. (It was previously clocked at 11.2 ppm on Windows 98.) But it prints graphics faster, at 5.8 ppm compared with 5.3 ppm before. While not the fastest printer on the chart, this laser has plenty of speed for an ordinary home office or even a small workgroup.

Reviewed by: Printers-online

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Very fast printing. Very in expensive compared to others in its class. Can print letter and legal.

Weaknesses: can not print 11X17

Overall Evaluation: I am using this for over two years with no problems. I print a lot. Per page, I found this to be least expensive per page. Some others commented about vertical lines after some time. This will only happen if you move the printer with the drum installed. There is a note that the printer comes with advising against this. Anytime you need to move the printer, remove the drum unit from the printer and install it after you move the printer. Otherwise you can damage the gears inside causing the vertical lines. As long as you follow this, it could be the best printer you ever had. You can also install extra 32 MB memory for around $10.

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Initial Quality Good, Easy to Use, Cheap Price, Good Technical Help from Brother.

Weaknesses: Bad Problems After One Year. Repair Costs Much More Than Printer.

Overall Evaluation: I bought this printer because it had a good price. I was pleased with the initial quality. The memory was easy to upgrade. After 1 year the warranty expired. The printer began to produce random white lines. Brother personel tried to help via the phone. It was no use. I spoke with an official technician. He hates the brother laser printers because they malfunction and cost too much to fix. Want to buy a used Brother HL-1440? Never abused.
