The overall quality for MFC-L5900DW was below par.
The text was just slightly above average, which is acceptable for businesses, except when very a small font is required.
For a mono laser, the quality of its graphics was below par, although it did well with most of the test files. There was a slight banding in a number of pages of an Excel file and encountered some issues with PowerPoint. In the Grayscale where PowerPoint defaults to while printing to a monochrome, the device had a problem outputting a figure that shows a gradient and the tone was shifting from dark to light and then goes back to dark. In the print, meantime, it remained at an almost dark shade.
As for the other Grayscale prints, the backgrounds, with two having the same gradients, were dropped and showed up as white. Although this is just fine for most PowerPoint documents in which printing a dark text is more significant than the background shading, it is not so when the background details need to be preserved.
Meanwhile, the backgrounds were noticeable when the Color setting was used, but gave a poor performance when it comes to differentiating between some gradients and the same tones. In fact, using the Color setting when outputting the PowerPoint documents from color originals fails to provide the ideal tone for files that are used for distribution to clients. While the quality of test photos was typical of a mono laser, some test prints demonstrated a clear banding.
Brother’s pricing for toner and drum, MFC-L5900DW’s running cost is 1.9 cents per page.
Simply, it is more expensive than MFC-L6700DW but cheaper than HP M426fdw. It offers a fast printing performance, good standard, and great optional paper capabilities, including several wired and wireless connectivity options in a competitive running cost.
That being said, Brother MFC-L5900DW is a perfect choice for a mono laser all-in-one printer for a small- to medium-sized printing needs in a small office or even the heavy-duty printing demands of a micro or home office.
