Nope... Uses toner instead, and is typically much longer lasting than ink, doesn't clog like ink, cheaper per page than ink.
Doesn't do as good at extreme quality photographs as ink but does everything else better than ink.
An acceptable flaw for what it offers instead.
Indeed. Personally, I've gone completely paperless just to avoid printers entirely. I can't afford a printer at all when most are temporary at best, and Brother is outside of my price range when I never need physical papers in the first place.
My dad has a Brother printer though, so can confirm they're somewhat better. Unfortunately, my dad owns a years-old iMac, so he has to not have the most recent available OS version or there won't be any working drivers; Macs have apparently become infamous for not supporting printers after even the most necessary of system updates, so his computer remains a huge security risk just so his printer works.
