Brother HL-404CDN

Summary: I chose this printer for our office due to its positive reviews and affordable price, and because our network guy insisted that we buy a Brother after a string of problematic HP printers. Despite its high ink consumption, it printed crisply right until the warranty expired, then it started to bleed color on the edges on jobs larger than 500 sheets, then 200, then 100, now its down to about 25 sheets you can print before it starts to bleed, ruining the print job. We produce a lot of materials in color that need to look sharp, and having splotchy striped bleeds of red and yellow on 1/4 inch of the page is simply not acceptable. I don't know if it's a problem with this model or just our printer, but it is pretty much a large paperweight at this point and we are again wasting money at Kinkos.
