This model is certainly more expensive than the B&W post last night but I'm hopeful that it will be a set and forget purchase.

  • Fast print speeds up to 30 ppm Black & Colour
  • Automatic 2-sided printing & scanning (duplex)
  • 8.8cm Colour Touch Scren LCD
  • 250-sheet paper tray
  • Wireless connectivity

I price beat with Officeworks bringing it down to ~$507 (but with potential delivery costs if you can't Click & Collect). According to Camelx3 it's all time low is $502

Could be cheaper again via Centrecom but shipping was $70 for me to QLD

      Shipping is $70+ for me. Would work well if you're near a store though

      I've added that to the post which will help anyone close to a Centrecom.

      You can currently get 10% off Amazon cards check ozbargain post. You can probably also price match Amazon with centre com then use Amazon gift cards bringing it down to 450

    I recommend this one still, same price as it was previously ($371) on GGC. Have had it about 6 months now I think, and it's been the best printer i've owned in terms of "it just works"

    I THINK the biggest difference between the two is the one in the OP has automatic 2 sided scanning, whilst the one i've linked is manual 2 sided. Annoying, but not a huge issue for those that are using it at home for the occasional print/scan.

      Dual sided scanning is pretty big deal and specific reason alot of people get this machine.

        Which ink toner do we use for these ones ? How long does the original ones last ?

    • superforever on 20/11/2024 - 10:08

      L-8 series a big difference

    What the difference with this one for $100 more

    I've had the L8690CDW for a couple of years (bought during COVD) and bought a second unit for the kid as well..
    after a third printer now…as well..

    seems. no OEM toners for the L8390cdw as yet..

    plenty for the L8690CDW unless things have changed.

    Would the firmware let you use compatible toners?

    • Switchblade88 on 20/11/2024 - 12:43

      Most Brother printers are good for this; I can't say this specific model, but ever other Brother I've owned worked perfectly with both toner and ink generics.

    I know it's unfair to compare with inkjet but does anyone have a guide on total life cost between the two?

    Inkjet still seems cheaper.
    - initial purchase of the printer
    - ongoing ink cartridges (cost per page)

    Ps. I really want a laser but can't justify it

    • azukay on 20/11/2024 - 13:28

      Laser is for volume or if you use it occasionally. The problem with inkjet is the head cleaning, even if you don't use it, every few days it will clean the head. You will also need to service the internal waste ink tank from all the head cleaning after a while. Eventually the inkjet head will wear and you will need to replace it, though that can be said the same of the laser drums. I have a 15 year old laser copier that still for the most part print crisp whereas my 10 year old inkjet is pretty much near the end of it's service life, and that included me emptying out the waste ink sponge/tank once already.

      But if you want good quality photos inkjet is still better with photo paper.

      I am currently looking at a colour laser to replace my 10 year old brother inkjet, if I want to print photos I'd just goto Kmart or officeworks.
