![]() Both color and mono printing is less than a penny a page, and you don't even pay that much until you run though the ink that comes in the box-enough for 6,000 text pages or 7,700 standard color pages. Print enough, however, and the savings in running costs can make it the less-expensive choice in the long run. The Canon Pixma G7020 MegaTank All-in-One is pricey compared with some models that offer similar performance and features, but make you buy ink in cartridges instead of bottles. But for one-sided scanning, coping, and faxing, as well as low-cost printing at up to 600 pages per month, the MFC-J4335DW will be hard to beat. Its one important limitation is that the only way to scan both sides of a page is to scan each side manually, so you'll need to look elsewhere if you need to scan multi-page, duplex (two-sided) documents very often. The small size-just 8.1 by 18.1 by 13.2 inches (HWD)-makes the MFC-J4335DW a particularly good fit in a small or home office where space is tight, or as a personal printer in a larger office. Most important, the MFC-J4335DW delivered good speed on our tests for the price and more-than-acceptable output quality for most business and home use. Paper handling for scanning is typical for the price, with a flatbed plus a 20-page ADF for simplex (one-sided) scanning at up to legal size. The combination of a low initial price and low ink cost also means you don't have to print much before the savings makes the total cost of ownership lower than for most less-expensive printers. The 150-sheet tray will let you to print up to roughly 600 sheets per month without having to refill it more often than about once a week, while auto duplexing and a bypass tray to feed single sheets add convenience. The Brother MFC-J4335DW offers everything you need in a four-function AIO for light-duty use, and it stands out for its combination of performance, price, and running cost. ![]() And, at the very end of this article, you can see a detailed spec breakout of our top choices.

They range from small, under-$100 models suitable for home or home-office use to floor-standing behemoths that can anchor a corporate department, thanks to suitably large paper capacities and maximum duty cycles (in essence, suggested print limits) of tens of thousands of pages a month. Many add faxing to the mix along with other features, such as scanning to and printing from cloud sites. All of them can copy, and because copying requires a scanner, most can scan as well. AIOs add key functions beyond just printing, which is why they're also called multifunction printers (MFPs). Not every printer, however, can help shuffle your old fax machine, copier, and flatbed scanner off to the great recycling bin in the sky.Īll-in-one printers (AIOs) are these magic machines. Who doesn't want to reduce the number of machines around the house or the office that they need to keep fed, watered, filled, and powered up? (Pets and plants are enough of a commitment.)
