Brother MFC-J825DW

A lot of useful features in the Brother MFC-J825DW, including new phone software, help gloss over its mediocre print quality.

iPrint&Scan for easy phone transfer, Fast print and copy for class, CD/DVD direct print

Pale colour copies, Fiddly photo paper tray, Plain paper print quality only average

Brother MFC-J825DW review

Brother's MFC-J825DW colour inkjet multifunction printer (print/scan/copy/fax) is a budget-friendly choice for your small or home office, enhanced by a few higher-end features - namely, CD/DVD printing and some web connectivity. A two-year warranty...

An inkjet multifunction printer bedecked with a few advanced features, the Brother MFC-J825DW is a worthy contender for your low-volume, small-office bucks. The Kodak ESP Office 2170 offers cheaper inks, but it's much slower and lacks automatic duplexing.

Brother MFC-J825DW

The Brother MFC-J825DW ($150 street), also available as the MFC-835DW with only superficial differences, manages to largely match expectations for a Brother inkjet multi-function printer (MFP) while also providing a few surprises. Brother inkjets at...

Prints, scans, copies, faxes. Automatic document feeder. Connects with selected Web sites including Picasa and Google Docs

Low paper capacity. No paper handling options. Text quality is a touch below par for inkjet MFPs

The Brother MFC-J825DW offers a long list of features for both home and office needs, making it a strong contender for the dual role of home and home office MFP.
