Brother MFC-680CN Printer Review

The Brother MFC-680CN is not just a very capable color inkjet printer, but it can also handle copying, scanning, and faxing. Faxes can even be sent in color, and print speeds are fast, at up to 30 pages per minute for black and white and 25 pages per minute for color. Printer ink costs are minimal thanks to the affordable price of Brother MFC-680CN ink.

The MFC-680CN excels at business tasks, with a telephone handset and full keypad to assist in faxing. It also has a 10-sheet automatic document feeder for scanning multiple pages quickly, and still features a flatbed scanning surface for larger or irregular items. There is also a definite focus on photos, however, with an array of media card slots and a PictBridge USB port on the front of the device for getting photos into the machine quickly and easily. Photos can even be printed directly from these sources without a computer connection.

Changing the printer ink for an inkjet model can sometimes be difficult, but Brother MFC-680CN ink cartridges are accessed directly from the front. Buyers can save money by choosing compatible Brother MFC-680CN ink at a much lower price than OEM versions. The large 400-page capacity of Brother MFC-680CN ink cartridges is also an advantage, giving the device a low cost per page.

Overall, the Brother MFC-680CN is a versatile model with some good features in a very compact design that will appeal to those in tight spaces. It low upfront price and affordable running costs make it a good value.
