I am satisfied with the color reader printer, he does what he should. Expression normal documents go with color content, even from sleep mode, rather quickly. No comparison to my printer ink which I had previously, in which, after 14 days of not one printing only times to clean the cartridge or had to replace all. It is a pleasure when you can print without playing around. The Brother HL3142CW has the right dimensions quite large, especially in the depths, but have color reader printer times per se, the technique needs its place. Photo prints are with the right attitude and good paper quite respectable, you have to be aware that there is not a photo printer. In order to have proper pictures in hand, I'm doing this as a hobby photographer in another way. When the printer is connected to the wireless home network is the printing of phone or tablet even without a PC must be turned on. The whole set up is a little gimmick but it works. I can say nothing about the printing costs, as my supplied color cartridges. With my print volumes, still sufficient for some time In summary, I would buy the printer.
