Its black toner costs $95 for about 2,500 pages - the cheapest of the five printers here. The bar charts which it printed showed mild banding. The Brother MFC-9330CDW produces decent black-and-white print-outs, but its colour prints were far from the best. Wi-Fi Direct is supported - this means you can print directly from a supported mobile device or laptop without connecting the printer to a Wi-Fi network.īrother's iPrint & Scan app (iOS, Android and Windows Phone 7) does not look snazzy, but it will let you print documents and photos from a variety of sources, including cloud services, such as Dropbox, Evernote and OneDrive.įor offices, this printer has a Secure Function Lock feature, which can restrict up to 25 users from printing in colour. The MFC-9330CDW supports automatic duplex printing, which, as anyone who has ever used this feature can tell you, is convenient and saves paper. It also has a 35-page auto document feeder. The paper tray holds 250 sheets, easily beating its shoot-out rivals whose trays top out at 150. Except for the power button, all the buttons are touch-based, which makes for a clean look.

Understandably, the touchscreen is not as responsive as those found on mobile devices.

Its actual print speed is the highest of this lot of printers, at 23 pages a minute (black-and-white and colour). This is an LED printer, which is similar to a laser printer. As the most expensive model in this round-up by a fair margin, this Brother printer has much to prove. ![]()
