Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Brother HL-EX470W is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You run a workgroup of 10-50 people that needs color output without buying a floor-standing copier.
  • You print between 3,000 and 15,000 pages per month, mixed color and black.
  • You need fast first page out (10 seconds) for short jobs that get printed all day long.
  • You want badge-tap release at the printer (NFC + Secure Print+) so jobs don't sit in the output tray.
  • You're standardizing on Brother and want shared toner across the EX-series fleet.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 30,000 pages per month. The duty cycle handles it, but plan to keep extra TN-E80 cartridges on the shelf.
  • You only need wired Gigabit and don't care about the dual-band Wi-Fi.
  • You'd like an upgrade path to 2,700-sheet input later (the tower tray is a separate purchase).
  • You want a stapler or sorter eventually. The optional finisher bolts on, but it adds footprint and cost.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You need scanning, copying, or faxing. This is a print-only device. Get the MFC-EX670 or EX-series MFP instead.
  • You print more than 50,000 pages per month consistently. Look at a production color MFP with a real service contract.
  • You need 11x17 (tabloid) output. Largest sheet here is Folio (8" x 13").
  • You only print black-and-white. The HL-L6415DW costs less and uses cheaper toner.
  • You have less than 18 inches of desk depth. This is a 21.3" deep machine and it needs clearance for paper handling.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Brother HL-EX470W is an enterprise color laser printer for workgroups of 10 to 50 people that need color output without committing to a floor-standing copier. It prints 42 pages per minute in both color and black, with a 10-second first page out and a 150,000-page monthly duty cycle. The standard input is 620 sheets (520-sheet tray plus 100-sheet multipurpose) and you can stack it up to 2,700 sheets with the optional tower tray. The 3.5-inch color touchscreen, integrated NFC card reader, and Secure Print+ make badge-tap release straightforward, which is why we sell a lot of these into legal, finance, and healthcare offices that care about chain of custody on printed documents. Connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet plus dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 and 5 GHz), with USB host ports front and back. The thing buyers regret: it's print-only. If you also need to scan or copy, you want the MFC equivalent. The other thing to know: at 17.4 x 21.3 x 15.8 inches it's not small, and the optional tower tray and stapler finisher make it bigger. Toner is the TN-E80 family, drum is the DR-810CL.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 3 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging Brother machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • ★ "Got this for my home office and it handles the duplex printing really well. Wireless setup was straightforward and the print quality is solid for documents. Only wish the toner cartridges were cheaper but that's Brother for you."
  • ★ "Using this in our small law office for about 6 months now. It's reliable and fast enough for our volume, though the manual feed tray takes some getting used to. Driver support on Mac could be better but it works."
  • ★ "Good workhorse for a small law office. Fast enough for our needs and handles the volume we throw at it. Only thing is the manual is a bit confusing when troubleshooting connectivity issues."
