Brother DCP-120C Ink Cartridges

The Brother DCP-120C is an inkjet printer that offers a basic range of features to support its multifunction design. Expert tests reveal moderately quick speed, printing up to 20 pages per minute for monochrome documents and 15 pages per minute for color. The DCP-120C isn't the most advanced device in its class, but it offers a respectable amount of versatility to support its standard print, copy and scan functions.

What sets this unit apart from others is its PhotoCapture Center, which provides users with a media card reader that accepts formats like CompactFlash, Memory Stick and Secure Digital. Other than this its photo printing capabilities are limited, lacking features such as a color display screen for previewing and buttons for editing images, instead providing only a single-line monochrome LCD for job status alerts.

Each of its other functions have a good set of features, with the ability to scan directly to e-mail or directly to the computer, and a 10-sheet automatic document feeder that can scan a multiple-page project very quickly. Since the device has a maximum paper handling capacity of 100 pages, it is best suited to support light-duty home printing.

The unit is tested to print with satisfactory output, printing a minimum ink droplet size of 1.5 picoliters to ensure precision in every document. The machine can print a maximum resolution of 1200x6000 dpi using color and black Brother DCP-120C printer ink, as well as copy documents with a resolution of 600x1200 dpi.

The unit is best fit for low volumes with its use of Brother DCP-120C printer ink cartridges that can only last 400 pages for each cyan, magenta and yellow supply, and 500 pages for the black supply. To help save money, users can use remanufactured ink that is more cost efficient than OEM Brother DCP-120C ink cartridges.

Other than its PhotoCapture Centre, the DCP-120C comes with only the most basic features typically found in the printers in its price range. Buyers that need a home printer with decent speeds and standard all-in-one capabilities will benefit from this inkjet device, but they won't get a lot of extra bells and whistles.
