Brother HL-4570 Toner Cartridges

Brother HL-4570 Printer Review

The Brother HL-4570 is a part of a series of color laser printers that can work quickly to provide offices with standard graphics and text projects. With models like the HL-4570CDW and HL-4570CDWT, users are given additional features like duplex capability, wireless printing, and even another 500-sheet paper tray for the latter. Each model can work at quick speeds of up to 30 pages per minute for monochrome and color documents.

The unit is appropriate for small workgroups due to its speeds and recommended monthly duty cycle of 4,000 pages. Although its output quality wouldn't impress graphic designers and artists, workgroups with basic text and color projects generally won't notice output lacking here and there, though photo colors are noticeably off in some cases. The device is able to create documents with a maximum resolution of 2400x600 dpi using black and color Brother HL-4570 printer toner. Media handling is also fairly standard, with a single 250-sheet input tray and 50-page multipurpose tray that can support glossy paper, plain paper and envelopes, among others.

The manufacturer provides an LCD display for typical management capabilities like a toner save mode that can extend the life of the Brother HL-4570 toner cartridges and the ability to monitor the progress of projects. For the models that offer wireless printing, the manufacturer also provides the option for a free iPrint application that will allow users to print presentations and memos directly from their smart phone or tablet.

Using separate cyan, yellow, magenta and black Brother HL-4570 toner cartridges, users are able to replace supplies individually so each uses the maximum amount, with less waste. The color toners can each yield approximately 3,500 sheets and the black supply has a maximum capacity of 6,000 sheets.

Other than a pension for lackluster color output, the HL-4570 and additional models are designed well and suitable for small workgroups. Unique options like direct wireless printing from mobile devices bring the series into the modern age of office laser printers, while features like expandable media handling and low-cost supplies will further benefit busy workgroups.
