I haven't had a chance to use the Brother HL-L3270CDW, but I was able to locate the manual online and find some troubleshooting suggestions that may improve the color output and density. If you'd like to reference the manual for any of the suggestions mentioned below, you can view it by clicking the following link:

You've already tried the "Enhance Black Printing" option, which is suggested in the manual to provide better density to black print specifically. Here are a few additional things you may want to try:
- If the color is too light or faint, try using the LCD screen on the printer itself to perform a color calibration.
- Make sure that toner save mode is disabled in the settings. The manual indicates that toner save mode can be toggled from the LCD screen or from the printer driver settings.
- If the "Improve Gray Color" check box is enabled, try disabling it. According to the manual, disabling this setting can improve general color output.
I think it's definitely worth experimenting with these options before shopping for a new printer. If you do decide to look for a new printer after exhausting the suggestions provided by the manual, I've always experienced excellent results with the HP Color LaserJet Pro series of printers across our selection of laser compatible materials.
I hope this helps. If you need any additional information please just let us know.
