Perfect for home or Office
The printer is an excellant compact solution for my printing needs at home. I had considered ink tank printers but decided to investigate laser printers as an option. The Good Guys presented a very reasonable price and I decided to switch to laser. I am extremely happy with this printer as it does everything that I require, black and white and colour print, scan and copy.

At a glance
The Brother DCP-L3560CDW is a compact colour laser multifunction printer designed for home offices and small workgroups that need dependable print, scan and copy performance. Its strengths are automatic duplex printing, a 250-sheet tray, 26 ppm output and flexible wireless or wired connectivity. A key limitation is that scanning is single-sided only, so higher-end office models suit heavier scan workflows better.

Things to consider
This model is strong for general office use, but premium multifunction printers may offer faster speeds, larger paper handling and duplex scanning for heavier document workflows.
Office suitability
Well suited to small offices and home offices with regular colour printing, copying and occasional multi-page scanning.
Home use suitability
Very good for households that want sharper text, regular schoolwork printing and occasional colour documents without moving to a larger office machine.
Running cost vs category average
About average to below average when using optional high-yield toners.
Noise level score
8/10 - designed as a quiet compact office printer and suitable for shared home or small office spaces.
Ease of setup rating
9/10 - straightforward to install with wireless, Wi-Fi Direct, Ethernet and USB connection options.
Key benefits
- 26 ppm print speed: handles regular mono and colour office printing quickly enough for day-to-day home office and small team use.
- Automatic 2-sided printing: reduces paper use on longer jobs without needing to manually re-feed sheets.
- 250-sheet paper tray: supports routine printing with fewer paper top-ups during the week.
- 35-sheet automatic document feeder: makes multi-page copying and scanning easier than placing pages one by one.
- Wireless, Wi-Fi Direct, Ethernet and USB connectivity: gives flexible setup options for computers, phones and tablets.
- Compact multifunction design: fits more comfortably on desks and in smaller work areas than bulkier office printers.
- Brother Mobile Connect compatibility: simplifies mobile printing and scanning from supported devices.
- High-yield toner support: helps lower cost per page compared with relying only on standard-yield consumables.
Q: Can this Brother printer scan both sides of a page automatically
A: No. Brother DCP-L3560CDW uses a 35-sheet automatic document feeder for multi-page jobs, but scanning is single-sided only. Two-sided originals need to be turned and scanned in separate passes, which matters if you digitise duplex paperwork often.
Q: Does the DCP-L3560CDW work with Ethernet as well as Wi-Fi
A: Yes. Brother DCP-L3560CDW supports wired Ethernet, Wi-Fi and USB, so it can suit a shared office network or a single desk setup. Ethernet is the better fit if you want a fixed network connection rather than relying on wireless coverage.
Q: Can I print from my phone without connecting by USB
A: Yes. Brother DCP-L3560CDW supports wireless printing from phones and tablets, and it also works with Brother Mobile Connect for print and scan tasks. USB is available for a direct computer connection, but it is not required for mobile use.
Q: What toner does Brother DCP-L3560CDW use and are high-yield options available
A: Brother DCP-L3560CDW uses Brother toner cartridges made for this model, and replaceable high-yield toner options are available. That gives buyers a lower-refill approach for regular printing, but cartridge compatibility should be matched to the exact model number.
Q: Is this a good choice for colour photos or documents
A: Brother DCP-L3560CDW is better suited to colour documents, schoolwork and graphics than photo-focused printing. Laser output is typically strongest on text and simple images, so buyers wanting frequent glossy photo prints may prefer a printer built for that use.
Q: Will it handle regular home office printing without constant paper refills
A: Yes. The 250-sheet paper tray suits regular home office or school printing better than smaller entry models. Brother DCP-L3560CDW also adds automatic two-sided printing, so longer jobs need less manual paper handling once the tray is loaded.
