Brother DCP-330C Ink Cartridges

Brother DCP-330C Printer Review

The Brother DCP-330C is a multifunction printer designed for the home or small office. It can print, scan, and copy, and offers some nice convenience features such as a USB port and memory card slots. It offers fast printing at around 25 pages per minute for black and 20 pages per minute color, and economical printing costs with its affordable Brother DCP-330C ink cartridges.

The unit is quite compact, measuring 17.8 inches by 18.5 inches by 8.5 inches. It weighs around 19 pounds, so it should be easy to move around the office when necessary. Ink costs are always a concern, so it is nice to see that Brother DCP-330C ink cartridges are divided by color. This keeps costs lower and reduces wasted ink. Brother DCP-330C inkjet cartridges also have a fairly large page yield.

The Brother DCP-330C has a very nice full-color LCD display that can preview photos before printing. The front-mounted USB port and memory card slots make it easy to print directly from a thumb drive or digital camera card without the need for a computer. The unit can print, scan, and copy, but it does lack the ability to send and receive faxes. Users must decide for themselves how important this feature may be.

In their review of the Brother DCP-330C inkjet, Cnet Asia praised it for its easy setup, memory card readers, and dual-purpose tray. They wished it had included an automatic document feeder for automatically scanning multiple pages, and an ethernet port for directly connecting it to a network. Cnet Asia gave it a 6.8 out of 10 rating.

Overall, the Brother DCP-330C is designed as more of a consumer machine than a business machine, with its focus on photo printing and digital camera integration. Small office users may find it to be a good business machine, however, as long as they don't need faxing capabilities.
