Brother MFC-7840W review

Verdict

Quick and high quality printing, with a good array of features, but the scanner isn't quite up to the same standard.

Review Date: 4 Jun 2008

Reviewed By: Mike Jennings

Price when reviewed: (£316 inc VAT)

Overall Rating
4 stars out of 6

Unfortunately for the MFC-7840W, the addition of a fairly mediocre scanner to a decent print engine doesn't really add up to a package to match the L7780. Okay, that doesn't have the ease and convenience of laser technology, but it costs less, prints almost as quickly (and in colour) and easily surpasses the Brother for print and, importantly, scan quality. Add in its wireless capabilities and it's clear that almost anything the Brother can do, the HP can do, and often better.
