        According to my notes, the only dirt I found on #Brother printers was yellow tracking dots. You can likely avoid the #trackingDots by getting a non-color Brother, but then you’re still feeding a company that was caught doing that. So IMO Oki is the best option. But note that Oki is not sold in the US anymore.

      Word on the street is Brother is the brand to go to. Anything laser, avoid inkjet. I can’t wait to replace my cheap HP. I have to reinstall it every time I want to use it. It works better as a shelf.

        Brother is the only viable consumer laser that’s comes to mind for me when making recommendations but as a helpdesk admin, they can be a nightmare at times… I suppose they’re all printers at the end of the day

      People seem to love Brother printers. I have an Epson Ecotank that seems to be pretty good so far.

        Epson are the name in the game for high quality sample printing. To the point where many people literally call printed samples ‘Epsons’.

        A printed sample being a one off print of something that will be industrially printed at scale on a larger printing press. It is used to have a ‘colour master’ to check the print run to, so you can identify colour shifts that can happen over the course of thousands to hundreds of thousands to even millions of sheets.
