Brother HL-3142CW Compact Color Laser is an affordable model for a color laser printer.

Brother color laser printer also makes it easy to create logos for cover letters. You can also print graphics. The print quality is good and sufficient for most illustrations. You can also print on different formats (envelopes, stationery, labels). The paper cassette offers space for a total of 250 sheets. If you don’t want to give up color printing, the Brother is good with its color quality. In the laser printer color test, we found that maintaining this device is inexpensive.
In the Brother HL-3142CW test, Brother printer toner cartridges from color laser printers last approximately 2200 pages for black and white and color expression. The printing speed of either 18ppm or 22ppm in both black and white and the color is fast. This not only makes printing more fun, but it also saves you time. You can set up the Brother color laser printer with a USB cable or even more conveniently by configuring the color laser printer via the WLAN network.
