My Brother from Another Mot...Oh I mean, my Brother Laser Printer

I just wanted to report that we received our Brother laser printer yesterday. My husband had it hooked up and printed quite a bit, mostly his gaming PDF's. We had a heck of a time trying to get my computer to print on it, but after a while he got it to work. Print quality is excellent; pictures are a bit different to judge since of course it only prints in black & white. However I did try a few internet printable coupons and they look spectacular. Of course images are "different" looking but not fuzzy or bad looking, again just in monochrome.

Which of course leads me to believe that I may have problems in the future trying to redeem black & white coupons. However, even the tiny text is very clear/readable and most coupons nowadays have the "veri fy" website link on them, so if anyone even trys to HINT at the fact that I tried to do something illegal I will set things straight right away (the iPad 3G will help a lot!).

All in all I am very happy with it and am glad we purchased it. There is nothing that is essential (for me) to be printed out in color, so I'm going to assume that I shall be using this printer exclusively. It is hooked up right next to the inkjet printer and they are both on the wireless connection though so it's all good.

Internet Printable Coupons

Printers are costly - or at least, the ink for printers is costly. I'm only just getting back into couponing, so obviously I haven't printed up much in the way of internet, Target, or other store coupons. However, I can safely say that we spent a lot of money on ink for our all-in-one Kodak printer this last year. I had entertained the idea of a monochrome (black and white) printer a long while back but decided against it and never brought the idea up to my husband.

Well wouldn't you know, he decided to bring it up! Not because of coupons (haha!) but because he wants to be able to print out lots of PDF files and such for his table-top games and so his gamers can have reference sheets and the like.

Anyways, we purchased Brother Printer HL2270DW Wireless Monochrome Printer from Amazon along with an extra toner cartridge for it, rated to print over 2,600 pages. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me! Total purchase was $149 or so, with free shipping via my Amazon Prime account, and we should have it in 2 or 3 days.

As soon as we get it I plan on printing some coupons out. I'll post how good they come out when it happens!
