Getting a colour laser duplex

[flyboy]

I am looking for a color, duplex printer that can do wired connected.

My initial guess is to start with Costco.ca who sells ;

Brother MFC-L3765CDW Digital Colour Multifunction Printer - 630 CanD​

HP 4301dw Wireless Colour LaserJet Printer - 640 CanD​

Any thoughts on which or any of these who would be a better choice ?

TIA
Al

Hi @flyboy
They sure look very similar.
I usually check and see if there is any difference in the ability to get it repaired when that occurs.
If getting repairs is similar, the main differences I see are that
- The HP has a higher printing speed by about 30%
- The brother could be lower cost per page by 1/2 if using third-party toner cartridges, which can be done while on the HP machine, which is quite complex (not sure if it is possible).

I don't have info on the reliability of either, so that might be worth checking too.

You did not mention your page volume per year. If it is relatively high, I might lean towards the brother for the overall lower costs considering third-party toner cartridges.

Just to let you know, that is my view as a potential consumer, not as an expert on laser printers.
