Brother 1360 Printer Review

The Brother 1360 is a fax machine and copier designed for the home or small office user. Its affordable price and intuitive design are impressive, but slow faxing speeds might slow down busy users. Copy speed is around 18 pages per minute at a maximum resolution of 600 dpi. Brother Intellifax 1360 ink cartridges are very affordably-priced. If you do not need the copying and faxing but you do need a very high quality color printer, the Phaser 8500 ink printer is an excellent choice.

The single black Brother 1360 inkjet cartridge has a page yield of 500 pages. Combined with the low price of the Brother 1360 inkjet cartridge, this adds up to a very low cost per page that beats many competing models. Paper capacity is 100 sheets, and the automatic document feeder can hold 20 sheets at a time for faxing or copying.

The Brother 1360 is designed mainly as a standalone fax machine, and its numerous fax features are very well-implemented. Its one major downside is its slow faxing transmission speeds, at only 14.4 kbps. Features such as fax forwarding and automatic redialing make it easy to use, and with its 16 MB of page memory, it can store incoming faxes for later printing. The copy function is basic, but useful, though users are limited to copying only pages that can fit in the automatic document feeder, as the machine lacks a flatbed scanning surface.

User reviews of the Brother Intellifax 1360 inkjet are mixed. Some users praise it affordable price and convenient faxing features, such as the ability to scan several pages at once when faxing. Others note difficulties in the setup procedure that required calling customer service for help. Compared to other standalone fax machines, it compares very well, but competing units offer faster faxing speeds at a similar price.

Overall, the Brother 1360 is an excellent fax machine and copier at a very affordable price. Low ink costs will save users money in the long run, but its slow faxing speeds and lack of a flatbed scanner may cause some users to look for a true all-in-one machine.
