While the HL-L8260CDW is expandable to 1,050 sheets via three 250-sheet trays, the HL-L8360CDW, in addition to the three 250-sheet cassette option, also supports two 500-sheet paper trays ($179.99 and $249.99, respectively), for a maximum capacity of 1,300 sheets.

Also like the HL-L8260CDW, the L8360CDW comes out of the box with a paper capacity of 300 sheets, split between a 250-sheet paper cassette and a 50-sheet multipurpose tray. The OKI C332dn, another similarly priced standalone color laser-class (it uses an LED array, rather than an actual laser, as its light source) printer, is significantly shorter, but weighs about the same. Off-white with a black top, the HL-L8360CDW ($449.99 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window) measures 12.3 by 17.4 by 19.1 inches (HWD) and weighs 48.1 pounds, which is about an inch shorter and a few ounces lighter than the HL-L8260CDW, and a little bigger and heavier than the Editors' Choice HP Color LaserJet Pro M452dw ($899.90 at Amazon) (Opens in a new window).

Like the HL-L8260CDW, it prints well and at a fast clip. The HL-L8360CDW gives you greater expandability, twice the memory, a higher duty cycle, access to higher-yield toner cartridges, lower running costs, greater security, and a few additional functions, such as near-field communication (NFC) and a color touch screen. The Brother HL-L8360CDW ($399.99), a color laser printer, is essentially the recent Editors' Choice Brother HL-L8260CDW on steroids.
