Brother HL-4150 Toner Cartridges

Brother HL-4150 Printer Review

The Brother HL-4150 is an affordable laser printer that uses inexpensive toners that contribute to low running costs. The available HL-4150CDN model has a few impressive additional features, including duplexing and networking. The series' speeds of up to 25 pages per minute for color and monochrome projects are a touch faster than many similar models. With these fast speeds and convenient low costs, the unit will fit well for small to medium sized offices on a budget.

It provides ample media handling, including a 250-sheet input tray, a 50-sheet multipurpose tray and an optional 500-sheet bin for more capacity. Its quick speeds, expandable paper handling and maximum monthly duty cycle of 40,000 pages all target it to support small or medium print volumes.

Although reviews point to a slightly lowered performance for color projects, this likely won't affect offices that aren't full of graphics designers with high expectations. With a resolution of up to 2400x600 dpi using Brother HL-4150 printer toner, tests for standard text and presentation projects reveal sharp detail and precision.

The device comes with a front panel that has a straightforward design to make it easy to use, utilizing only a few buttons. On the panel, users will find a USB slot for connecting a camera or flash memory, a secure print button that helps users to safely pause projects until it is pressed, and a basic LCD that provides simple status updates.


The Brother HL-4150 is a pretty standard color laser printer, with a basic control panel that has easy access to its USB slot. Moderately fast color and monochrome print speeds and the ability to keep costs to a minimum make it the ideal affordable device for small and medium sized offices.
