Brother MFC-J5720DW Ink Cartridges

Brother MFC-J5720DW Printer Review

The Brother MFC-J5720DW treads new ground for the company as an all-in-one inkjet that is catered toward business use. It has ISO speeds of 22 pages per minute for black and 20 pages per minute for color, and it can scan, copy, and fax as well. Its ADF makes scanning jobs a breeze, and the low cost of Brother MFC-J5720DW printer ink will keep it affordable now and in the future.

With a "DW" added to the MFC-J5720 model name, savvy buyers will know it includes both duplexing and networking features. While these are both impressive, digging deeper reveals features many buyers will be more excited about, such as mobile printing and scanning to and from smartphones and tablets. The standard paper capacity is also impressive, with a 500-sheet main tray and an 80-sheet multipurpose tray.

The 3.7-inch touchscreen display makes it easy to use when standing at the machine, and is an upgrade from similar models in its lineup. The automatic document feeder is also upgraded, holding up to 50 sheets at once for fast scanning, copying, or faxing. This pairs nicely with Brother's iPrint&Scan mobile app, which allows users to save scans to mobile devices quickly and easily.

The standard Brother MFC-J5720DW printer ink cartridges have an estimated yield of around 550 pages. Larger high-capacity Brother MFC-J5720DW ink cartridges help to lower the cost per page, however, with an estimated yield of 1,200 pages.

The MFC-J5720DW all-in-one inkjet printer definitely succeeds in bringing solid office features to home and small office users at a good price. Some buyers might still prefer a laser model for lower operating costs, but Brother MFC-J5720DW ink is so affordable that it should be an appealing alternative for many.
