Brother MFC-J625DW Ink Cartridges

Brother MFC-J625DW Printer Review

The Brother MFC-J625DW is a color inkjet printer that offers a nice bundle of multifunction capabilities including a scanner, photocopier and fax machine. Speed tests reveal that the device can consistently print close to its estimated maximum rates of 27 pages per minute for color projects and 35 pages per minute for monochrome. While this unit is one of the lowest-priced in its class, it's a mixed bag, with subpar output quality but a decent package of features that will suit home offices.

The machine's pros are extensive, ranging from the capability for duplex printing and an automatic document feeder to support multi-page scans. The unit also has intuitive touch screen technology with its 1.9-inch panel that will allow users to adjust and enhance the precision of images, as well as provide user-friendly access to menus. The provided support for wireless AirPrint and PictBridge connectivity is also a bonus typically not seen in such an inexpensive printer.

The device is equipped with a 100-sheet input tray and 20-sheet bypass photo tray for 4x6-inch media that is fairly minimal when it comes to paper handling, but should support low volumes. Photo output is one area where this unit suffers, with reviews that cite lackluster color detail. Graphics and photos are adequate for internal office use, and they can print with a maximum enhanced resolution of 6000x1200 dpi using color and black Brother MFC-J625DW printer ink.

The device operates with affordable black, cyan, magenta and yellow Brother MFC-J625DW printer ink cartridges. Standard yielding supplies can last up to 300 pages each and available high-capacity Brother MFC-J625DW ink cartridges can print a maximum of 600 pages each.

Those small or home offices with modest volumes and a need for a device with low running costs will find a nice fit with the MFC-J625DW. While output isn't the best in its class, the inkjet printer has no lack of features that make it one of the most flexible and easy-to-use all-in-one machines in its price range.
