Whether you’re looking for a reliable home printing solution that will fit in a side cabinet, or you’re in search of a printing solution that can handle the demands of a full-scale corporate office environment – you’ve no doubt wondered about the different brands and their reputations.
Among two of the most highly regarded are Brother and HP. Regularly compared, and competing for much of the same market share, these two brands are among some of the most trusted in printing. But all that might mean to you is that they’re super difficult to choose between.
The team at TonerCity are here to help you figure out which is best for you. Let’s take a look at some of the things that you should consider when comparing HP and Brother printers.
What Do You Need Your Printer For?
Smaller businesses and home office setups will have drastically different needs to larger office environments with multiple users walking around. Even the regularity of use will dictate whether a particular printer is a good choice or not.
These sorts of considerations are some of the first you should make. We say this because you’re much better off finding the best answers from each HP and Brother and comparing those than you are comparing the brands in their entirety.
For Office Use
If you’re seeking to equip your office space with a reliable and high performing printer that can keep up with large runs and multiple users, then you need to look for solutions that match that. In settings like these, both HP and Brother fair brilliantly, but with subtle differences between them.
In general, we find that Brother printers tend to come at a slightly higher price point for similar performance in office environments. But their relatively lower running cost make them the choice for those consistently printing off large jobs. HP are there for those looking for ease of use, and they tend to require less of you and your team to stay performing at their best. Albeit at a slightly higher ongoing running cost.
For Home Use
For home use, you’re likely looking at a smaller laser or inkjet printer for lower volume jobs at somewhat irregular intervals. On top of that, you likely don’t want your printer taking up a great deal of space or requiring much maintenance.
Brother printers have some seriously impressive all-in-one printing solutions that will cover any and all of your needs, but some customers have told us that the prompts for firmware updates are a little too regular. HP is there for those who want simple units with reliable functionality, but perhaps without the versatility of Brother printers.
