Brother MFC-4420C Printer Review

NO PRODUCTS AVAILABLE





The home office or small office user who needs multifunction features will want to consider the Brother MFC-4420C. Its robust feature set and low price make it an appealing choice for small spaces, but the pricey cost of Brother MFC-4420C ink may offset the upfront savings over the long run. Print speeds are decent, at 13 pages per minute in black and 11 pages per minute in color.

One of the most appealing aspects of this machine is its low upfront price. For a low price, users get a solid printer, scanner, copier, and fax machine that can handle most tasks in an office. The long-term costs could be high, however, as Brother MFC-4420C inkjet cartridges have smaller page yields than many competing models. The black Brother MFC-4420C ink cartridge only has a 480-page yield, and each color Brother ink cartridge has a page yield of 400 pages. The small black cartridge yield give the printer a higher cost per page than most of its competition.

The printer aims to impress with its wide array of features. As a printer and scanner, it does quite well, but its faxing and copying functions tend to fall behind a bit. Faxing transmission speeds are limited to 14.4 kbps, compared to the faster speeds of many competing models. Copying is limited by the lack of an automatic document feeder, meaning that users must scan each page individually when making copies.

In Cnet's review of the Brother MFC-4420C inkjet printer, they praised its versatility and compact design, as well as the inclusion of separate cartridges for each color. They also criticized its slow speeds and sometimes mediocre print quality.

Overall, the Brother MFC-4420C will appeal to home and small office users who want a multitude of features for a low upfront price. Busy users should calculate ink costs to be sure it is an economical choice, however.
