Brother MFC-J4320DW Ink Cartridges

Brother MFC-J4320DW Printer Review

With an even lower price than others in its lineup, the Brother MFC-J4320DW might be the perfect all-in-one inkjet printer for those on a very tight budget. It still features solid ISO speeds of 20 pages per minute, and extras like duplexing and wireless support, but it lacks an ADF, which could be a problem for high-volume use.

The only model in the MFC-J4320 series, the unit includes both duplexing and wireless networking support, as indicated by the "DW" in the model name. The 2.7-inch color touchscreen display is a bit smaller than other models in the lineup, but it is a fair tradeoff for a lower purchase price, and it still works quite well. With mobile printing options, even smartphones and tablets can get in on the action.

The unit measures just 6.4x18.9x11.4 inches, making it a good fit for desktop use, and even with Brother MFC-J4320DW printer ink supplies installed, it still weighs only 17.6 pounds. Paper handling is quite limited, but should be adequate for home users. It has a main tray that holds up to 150 sheets, but while it advertises support for up to 11x17-inch paper, larger sizes need to be fed through the single-sheet bypass slot.

The inkjet system uses four separate Brother MFC-J4320DW ink cartridges, with cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. This means replacing one color of Brother MFC-J4320DW ink doesn't mean wasting remaining printer ink of another color. With both standard and high-capacity Brother MFC-J4320DW ink cartridges available, buyers can also prioritize lower purchase prices or a lower cost per page.

For home users with light-duty needs, the Brother MFC-J4320DW is probably the best choice of similar models in its lineup. The lack of an ADF isn't likely to be a big factor, and the lower purchase price with quick output speeds makes it a good value.
