The Brother HL-L3270CDW is one of the better performing laser printers for photo printing that we’ve tested so far, but the overall quality is still poor. While the colors seem crisp and clear, there’s a lot of banding throughout the entire photo. There’s also severe graininess around the faces. Note that the printer can’t print on 4″ x 6″ paper, so glossy 8.5″ x 11″ paper was used instead.
These results are based on the actual physical photo, not the scanned image provided for reference above, which may not be representative of the printer’s photo print quality.
