Brother MFC-5895CW Ink Cartridges

Brother MFC-5895CW Printer Review

If the home needs a color inkjet printer that has an affordable upfront price, take a look at the Brother MFC-5895CW. Its light weight of only 23.6 pounds makes it simple to lift, and its size of 19.1x16.1x9.5 inches makes it a comfortable fit in small homes too. Able to produce a couple thousand pages every month, it will work perfectly for home offices with needs more complex than just printing—it can scan, copy and fax too using its printer ink.

With the ability to copy only 23 pages per minute, the Brother MFC-5895CW isn't the fastest inkjet unit on the market, but it does create high quality resolutions of 1200x1200 dpi. Its printing speeds, however, are 35 pages per minute and 28 pages per minute for black-and-white and color documents, respectively. It also offers connection via USB interface. Plain paper, photo paper, bond paper, cards, transparencies, labels and envelopes are all supported by the MFC-5895CW.

Overall, the Brother MFC-5895CW gets high ratings from consumers and experts alike. First of all, its low upfront price is ideal, and it also has a fairly compact size that makes moving it around and finding a spot for it simple. Users find that the setup process is easy, and most agree that the output of printed documents is excellent. The one and only complaint that is obvious across the board is the unit's high cost of operation due to expensive replacement Brother MFC-5895CW ink cartridges.

If the cost of maintenance is the only problem with this product, there is a way to make it more affordable—using remanufactured Brother MFC-5895CW ink cartridges from third party vendors. Though this printer ink costs only about a fraction of the OEM price, it still works just as well as the original, offering the same resolutions and high page yields. Using remanufactured replacement Brother MFC-5895CW ink is the certainly the most economical choice.
