I had this in my Amazon wish list for a while. Time to pull the trigger.

Brother typically has affordable refills at the minor sacrifice of lower quality prints compared to some others. I'm not looking to print photos so this is perfect long term!

Edit: I did the deal through staples instead with the coupon stacking. $227.98 before tax and before cash back!

No they do not use the same toners. The 3270CDW uses TN223 while the new model 3280CDW uses TN229. The Drum for the 3270CDW uses DR-223CL and the 3280CDW uses DR-243CL.

Sorry, you are right about that. I would advise you to buy a set of generic toners to test (make sure the toners can be returned if they don't work with this printer). If they do work with this printer, make sure you disable auto firmware update feature.

No problem. No need to apologize. You are right about the firmware and to disable it.

One positive note about this model is that, among models supporting automatic duplexing, this is probably one of the more compact footprints at 15.7" wide by 15.7" deep.

Good luck!

Yes right I like it's compact. Other printers like HP, Canon they are not so compact. It's good for tight spaces.

Same price on Brother's website, plus you can usually get a $20 coupon code.

As someone who has been looking and comparing Brother colors, these newer models with the 229 toner seem to be harder to find generics for.

The previous generation that takes the 223 and 227 toners seem to be way more readily available.

I am sure the generics will catch up over the next few months, but if you are worried about cheap toner now then I would just go with the last generation and save a few bucks as well.
