Brother HL-6050 Printer Review

Monochrome printers are easy to come by, but the right monochrome printer can be hard to find. If you need a workgroup laser printer though, the Brother HL-6050 might be the right machine for you. With a small footprint of 15.7x16.7x12.2 inches, you will find that this machine will fit very easily in your office. It does weigh 32 pounds with the Brother toner installed, which isn't the most lightweight machine on the market, but it should be easy enough to move if necessary. Envelopes, plain paper, foil paper, recycled paper and labels all have the ability to be printed on, and duplex printing comes standard. USB and parallel connections are the only ones offered.

This monochrome printer needs only one black Brother HL-6050 toner cartridge in order to operate.
