Brother MFC-9970CDW Toner Cartridges

Brother MFC-9970CDW Printer Review

The Brother MFC-9970 can warm up in just about 30 seconds from sleep mode and proceed to produce monochrome and color projects at a rate of up to 30 pages per minute, making it one of the quickest all-in-one laser printers in its class. If this sounds intriguing, its MFC-9970cdw model has even more impressive capabilities including a duplex unit and Wi-Fi connectivity for wireless use. From its speeds to a range of functions that are easy to use, the MFC-9970 is a handy machine to have around in small or medium-sized offices.

One of its best-reviewed features is its touch screen panel because it simplifies the use of functions like scanning and copying, especially for inexperienced users. The unit comes with a 50-sheet automatic document feeder with a built-in duplex mechanism so users can scan or copy large documents quickly and print double-sided to save paper.

The MFC-9970 incorporates a number of features ideal for offices with medium volumes, including high-yielding toners and a paper capacity that can be expanded to a maximum of 800 sheets with an optional 500-page input tray. Standard trays include a 250-sheet main tray and 50-page multipurpose tray.

While it reproduces text documents with sharp black lines and a resolution of 2400x600 dpi using Brother MFC-9970 printer toner, projects with photos and presentation graphics fall a bit short. Users that expect a decent portion of their output to contain graphics or photos may want to consider a device with better quality.

As mentioned previously, the high-capacity black Brother MFC-9970 toner cartridges can yield up to 6,000 pages to support fairly large volumes. Each individual color Brother MFC-9970 toner cartridge can produce up to 3,500 pages.

Although it can print color projects at fast rates, the MFC-9970 is not the most impressive color laser printer in terms of quality. However, it is perfectly suitable for mid-size offices producing predominately monochrome projects, with occasional color projects.
