Brother MFC-J4420DW Expert Review

With a reputation for supplying businesses with the ideal machine for their printing needs, this A3 device from Brother looks to be more than your average business inkjet.

Small office and home office users can often have to rely on their printer to produce consistently high quality results and the MFC-J4420DW is able to achieve that with the help of a print resolution of 1200 x 600dpi. There is also a 2400 x 1200dpi scanner and copier, and like many Brother printers, a fax machine is also included.

Many home users are looking to switch to an A3 printer to cope with the demands of their son or daughter’s school or university work and the high yield ink cartridges that are available will be a plus point for those looking to keep either their home or business printing costs down. The compact design also means that it doesn’t take up too much space and can easily be accommodated on a desktop.

Perhaps where the MFC-J4420DW really excels is in its connectivity. Whether you are a small office with employees all needing access to a printer or have children doing school work in other areas of the house and looking to print, this Brother inkjet makes the process easy.

Scanning documents onto your smartphone can be done through Brother’s Print&Scan app.

Print speeds are relatively good at up to 20 mono / 18 colour ipm although it’s worth noting that the print speed for photographs will be slower.
