Brother MFC-J4420DW Ink Cartridges

Brother MFC-J4420DW Printer Review

The Brother MFC-J4420DW is considered a "Business Smart" all-in-one inkjet, but it is actually a great stop gap for home users who need more serious business features without the extra cost of a larger device. Its maximum speeds of 20 pages per minute and its compact design make it a great value for the price, and low-cost Brother MFC-J4420DW printer ink prices continue that value into the future.

The "DW" added to the MFC-J4420 model name helps to highlight two of its best features: automatic duplexing and wireless support. The former can help conserve paper when printing on both sides of the page, while the latter makes for easier setup and sharing in a home or small office. It also supports mobile printing with AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, and Brother's own iPrint&Scan apps.

The unit itself measures 7.4x18.9x11.4 inches, and its light weight of 20.6 pounds is very impressive, especially since it includes the multiple Brother MFC-J4420DW printer ink cartridges as well. Both Windows and Mac are supported, and the included scanning software supports OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for both platforms, so users can turn their scanned documents into editable text.

With four separate Brother MFC-J4420DW ink cartridges to replace, costs could easily get high, but supplies are very reasonably priced. High-capacity Brother MFC-J4420DW ink supplies are available with around twice the page yield, so users can get an even lower cost per page that will help them save with every print.

With the inclusion of faxing, scanning, copying, and printing, the Brother MFC-J4420DW really is geared toward business-centric use, but the low price of this all-in-one inkjet still keeps it appealing for home users on a budget. Solid speeds, sharp output quality, and extras like mobile printing make it a standout in its class.
