Brother MFC-J470DW Ink Cartridges

Brother MFC-J470DW Printer Review

If the Brother MFC-J470DW all-in-one inkjet printer doesn't impress buyers with its great feature set, its low price will. Buyers get a full complement of printing, scanning, faxing, and copying features, along with duplexing and wireless support. Cost-effective Brother MFC-J470DW printer ink supplies will also keep things affordable in the long run.

Sometimes referred to as simply the MFC-J470, the "DW" denotes the automatic duplexing feature for two-sided printing and its ability to send and receive over Wi-Fi networks. It is compatible with 802.11n networks for fast transfers, and it can print at up to 35 pages per minute in black and 27 pages per minute in color.

Having an automatic document feeder along with a flatbed scanner will be a boon to busy users, as it allows for quicker scanning of multi-page documents. Even with the ADF on top, the machine still measures only 7.1 inches tall, with a footprint of 16.1x14.7 inches. With a weight of just under 20 pounds, even with the Brother MFC-J470DW ink supplies in place, it is a great fit for a desk surface in environments with limited space.

The wireless support is augmented by free apps for mobile devices that allow users to easily scan to and print from smartphones and tablets. Also included are Web Connect tools for accessing Facebook photos, Flickr albums, and other web services right from the control panel.

Replacing Brother MFC-J470DW ink cartridges is actually quite affordable, and their large capacities help users go longer between replacements. High-capacity versions of each of the four Brother MFC-J470DW printer ink cartridges can yield up to 600 pages.

The Brother MFC-J470DW inkjet printer is built from the ground up for versatile home office use. Its low price and compact design make it particularly appealing, and its networking and duplexing are added bonuses to an already impressive device.
