    • 3-year warranty
      3-year warranty on our own-brand cartridges
      We are proud of our own-brand cartridges, so we’ve made trying them a no-brainer. If within three years of purchase you have any problem whatsoever, we’ll happily offer either a replacement or a refund.
      Returning items is easy—it takes just a few minutes. But our return rate is very low, so you’ll be unlikely to need it.
      We are confident that no other own-brand cartridges are better than ours. They produce vibrant prints with accurate colour densities and dark blacks—and their page yields are as good as the genuines, if not better. Give them a try, and see why our customers love them.
      Our own-brand cartridges are incredibly reliable for three reasons:
      1. We are the UK’s biggest seller of own-brand cartridges, and we have invested a lot in optimising them.
      2. We are dedicated to quality. Every own-brand cartridge is performance-tested before it leaves the factory.
      3. We constantly monitor customer feedback, and quickly resolve any issues.
    • Printer protection guarantee
      Our cartridges won't damage your printer—guaranteed
      Some people worry that own-brand cartridges might damage their printers. We know from experience that ours don’t.
      To reassure you, we guarantee that we’ll repair or replace your printer—for free—in the unlikely event that it gets damaged by an own-brand cartridge. This is regardless of how old your printer is. We can afford to offer this because problems are almost unheard of.
      Some people whose printers are less than a year old worry that an own-brand cartridge might invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty. This isn’t true. By law, the manufacturers aren’t allowed to invalidate your warranty if you use own-brand cartridges. If something does go wrong, and our own-brand cartridges are to blame, we’ll take over the manufacturer’s warranty, offer you phone support and repair or replace your printer if needed.

      In summary, there’s zero risk in using our own-brand cartridges.

Brother HL-5270D Printer Review

Expert review of the Brother HL-5270D printer

Our Verdict:

With an automatic duplexer and fast print speeds, the Brother HL-5270D is a practical choice for basic printing tasks in a small office. Brother integrated the best specs into this small but efficient printer, but it only prints in monochrome and may be outdated for newer operating systems.

Design

This box-type monochromatic printer is integrated with electro photographic technology that runs on a 266 MHz processor with 32MB of RAM. The control panel lies on the left-hand corner of the Brother HL-5270D and its centrepiece is the 1-line, 16-digit, and 3-colour LCD screen on top, with buttons for scrolling through the menus, setting the controls, reprinting, and cancelling jobs. The printer is quite heavy at 10 kg and bulky at 10.2 inches tall, 15.1 inches deep, and 15.5 inches wide.

Advantages

The Brother HL 5270D is often praised for its speed. It can print up to 28 ppm on A4 and 30 ppm on letter-sized media. The built-in auto duplexer helps users save time and resources. Printouts come out clean and crisp because of the 1200 dpi resolution. Printer status can be viewed on-screen or through the control panel's LCD display. Users can easily cancel or reprint jobs on-board. The Brother HL-5270D can be made to function faster with expandable RAM at up to 544MB.

Disadvantages

Many users run into compatibility problems with the HL-5270D, especially those using operating systems newer than Windows XP and Mac OS 10.2.4. The paper feed and output trays limit the types and sizes of media that can be used with the Brother HL5270D. The printer looks bulky, too, and when printing, it can be noisy by emitting 53 dB(A) of sound. It can be difficult to view the status of the Brother HL-5270D with its small LCD screen.
