Brother MFC-795CW Ink Cartridges

Brother MFC-795CW Printer Review

The Brother MFC-795CW is a multipurpose machine that replaces the need for several devices in an office by bundling printing, copying and scanning capabilities. Due to moderately quick output speeds of up to 35 pages per minute for monochrome documents and 28 pages per minute for color, this laser device can easily handle home offices. Due to features such as its small paper input and low-capacity Brother MFC-795CW printer toner, however, this all-in-one machine will best benefit those with low volumes.

Despite a light-duty design, the MFC-795CW has a surprising bundle of office-centric features like a 15-sheet automatic document feeder for unattended scanning, built-in wired and wireless ethernet interfaces for networking and a front USB port that supports direct PC-free printing from flash drives. Adding this connectivity option with its 5-inch touchscreen LCD display, users will be able to easily operate this device without their computer by printing or scanning jobs straight from or to their flash drive, navigating menus, previewing jobs and making quick edits.

The MFC-795CW's compact build makes it a nice fit for desktop use, measuring just 18x14x7 inches and weighing less than 20 pounds. Contributing to this size is a phone handset and a flatbed scanner, which will enable users to scan or copy a diverse range of media like books and other thick documents. The unit can handle media that ranges from a minimum size of 4x6 inches to a maximum of 8.5x14 inches, but provides one main input tray that can only store 100 pages. A second bypass tray can handle around 20 sheets of photo paper.

The unit's 4-color print system can support a range of projects, printing jobs like full-color personal photos, graphics or a school paper with detail and a maximum resolution of 1200x6000 dpi using black and color toners. The yields of supplies will be problematic for any users with frequent jobs, since each color Brother MFC-795CW toner cartridge can only yield 750 pages and the black supply lasts around 450 pages. To help combat high running costs, users can replace expired supplies with affordable remanufactured Brother MFC-795CW toner cartridges.

By providing users the option to print, copy or scan documents with or without a computer, an easy-to-use touchscreen interface and a solid output, the MFC-795CW offers users to work efficiently from home on either personal or business projects. While its productive capacity is somewhat limited by a limited paper input and low-yielding supplies, this color laser device is one of the top picks in its class of home office printers.
