Find The Right Inkjet Printers

Brother MFC-990CW

The Brother MFC-990CW is a speedy, fully capable all-in-one device that earns our recommendation for an individual or a family that will make use of its touch screen and telephone/answering machine. Mechanical issues notwithstanding, this is the highest-scoring Brother printer we've tested to date.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 1200 x 2400 dpi, Cordless handset

Brother MFC-3360C

The Brother MFC-3360C does decent quality text and graphics, but anyone printing a large volume of photos won't be happy with the extremely slow output speed. If you're set on buying a multifunction printer, put your $90 toward a more capable device, like the Canon Pixma MX330.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 600 x 1200 dpi, Corded handset

Brother DCP 165C

We've tested plenty of printers at CNET, but very few have frustrated us as much as the Brother DCP-165C multifunction has. The counterintuitive setup, bland design, deplorable print quality, and crawling output speeds earns this printer a double thumbs down. Spend $30 more and you can get the Canon Pixma MX330, an all-in-one printer that adds a fax machine on top of the copy, scan, and print features.

Specs: Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 1200 x 2400 dpi

Brother MFC-5890CN

The Brother MFC-5890CN all-in-one is hands down the worst printer to take up space in our lab. From the irritating initial set up to the horrendous output quality and slow print speed, this device is the easiest way to flush $200 down the drain.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 1200 x 2400 dpi, None

Brother MFC-685cw

The Brother MFC-685CW inkjet multifunction printer offers tons of great features at the expense of print speed and quality. If speed and quality are your priorities, look elsewhere.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 600 x 2400 dpi, Corded handset

Brother MFC-440cn

The Brother MFC-440cn has a lot to offer, but it falls short on print quality. We prefer the Canon Pixma MP530 for a small-office environment.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 2400 x 600 dpi

Brother MFC-5840cn

We love this all-in-one's low price and office-appropriate features, but we can't overlook its poor performance and dismal output quality.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 1200 x 2400 dpi, None

Brother MFC-3340CN

It's affordable, easy to use, and full of professional features, but this all-in-one printer scans and prints like an amateur.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 600 x 1200 dpi, None

Brother MFC-3240C

It's affordable, easy to use, and full of professional features, but this all-in-one printer scans and prints like an amateur.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 600 x 1200 dpi, None

Brother MFC-5440CN

It's affordable, easy to use, and full of professional features, but this all-in-one printer scans and prints like an amateur.

MFC-420CN Color Inkjet Multifunction Center

The Brother MFC-420cn is a good multifunction for easy digital photo printing, but it's too limited for heavy workloads.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 600 x 2400 dpi

Brother MFC-4420c color flatbed

A budget-conscious office or family could buy this inexpensive multifunction for its good faxing and scanning but only if they can tolerate its slow, subpar printing.

Specs: Fax, Copier, Printer, Scanner, Ink-jet, 600 x 2400 dpi, None

MFC-5200C Color Flatbed Multi-Function Center

The Brother MFC-5200c offers strong fax, copying, and scanning features, but its subpar printing capabilities and installation and use hiccups make it hard to recommend.
