    Hi, very nice unit: had one for three months. Works out of the box , remotely etc.
    However, ask your doctor for permission to buy replacement cartridges before doing so!
    Even compatibles will set you back $300 (black is additional).
    Would it be worth buying two printers? Almost I suspect.

      No one buys original cartridges for these things. Third party aftermarket is the way to go.

        $300 is the third party aftermarket price for a set. It's $560 for original.

        I was interested in this model a few weeks ago but backed off on it because of the toner cost.

          Why are aftermarket toners so expensive for this model? I've got a Brother MFC-L8690CDW (paid $566 from TGG Commercial) and the 4 pack toners from inkstation are only $108.

            @mandelbrot: Checked the prices, I guess the L-8690CDW is the way to go since third party replacement toners are around $100 vs $300

              @Hypermajoris: Yeah, seem like one cycle of cartridge change will make up the difference in price

    • Always check after market toner prices before purchase. It is what put me off color lasers.

      Do have a Dell C1760NW which is color laser only and full set of replacement is around 100 for 1,500 pages.

      $300 replacement toners are probably 2300 pages?

      I would not use this one to print black because obviously the black toner wouldn't be cheap.

    Recommend the Brother DCP-L3560CDW for $371 from the good guys commercial for someone that wants something similar but not as frequent use etc.

  • Brother firmware has heavy DRM these days I believe. Not anywhere near as lax as they used to be with compatible toners.

    • Just don't update the firmware and don't allow auto updates.

        Which works as long as the firmware it ships with isn't already nobbled.

    The only major difference between L3745CDW and this L8390CDW model seems to be the duplex scanning

    Similar Kyocera M5526cdn is about $50 more, (3rd party) toner is cheaper and there's no firmware shenanigans (that I know of.)
