(Rating Hidden)

Like its pricier sibling, the MFC-J6720DW, the Brother MFC-J6520DW offers a killer combination of A3 printing, scanning and copying, with some interesting Cloud-based features at an attractively low price. Buying the cheaper model means doing without...

Brother's Latest Office A3 MFP : Brother MFC-J6510 Multi-function A3 printer

The Brother MFC-J6510DW all-in-one multifunction printer, copier, scanner and fax is an important machine in the company's professional MFP range. Its ability to handle A3 size documents which, although not an everyday requirement, is a feature which...

Brother MFC-J6510DW

The Brother MFC-J6510DW is the lowest-cost solution we've seen for both printing and scanning at tabloid size.

Prints and scans at up to tabloid size (11 by 17 inches). Automatic document feeder. Duplex (two-sided) printing.

Only one paper tray means you can't keep letter- and tabloid-size paper loaded at the same time.

Brother MFC-J6520DW wireless all-in-one A3 inkjet printer

Love the colour and design Fast scanner Quite fast print Double sided print very quick Availability of non original ink cartridges Prints easily 120gsm, 140gsm paper (tested) higher paper weights can be still printed by using the manual paper feeder....

No double sided scan in the automatic feeder, so you have to scan front and back manually If any of your coloured ink is finished you CANNOT print monochrome(black and white) because apparently the printer uses a tiny bit of colour ink in the black print.
