Brother MFC 9970CDW Printer Review


Overview
The all-in-one Brother MFC-9970CDW will save you not only time, but money and space as well. You will be able to get any tasks done fast using the print, copy, and scan capabilities of this machine. There is also a touch screen control panel feature that will save more time and effort on your part. You can even print or scan your work from a USB flash drive, which a lot of businesses seem to need to have this option nowadays. This printer will provide your office with the efficiency it’s looking for, at a price that won’t break the bank.  Overall, your small or medium sized business with low to moderate print, scan, or copy needs will be well suited with this machine.

Pros
The Brother MFC-9970CDW weighs about 63 pounds and has dimensions of 20.9 inches high x 19.3 inches wide x 20.7 inches deep. It would be well suited for an area or room nearby, so that it won’t be in the way near any workstations. The printer can fit easily on a table or large desk. Two people will probably have to carry it and set it up due to its larger size.
Duplexing is standard on this model. This feature allows for work to be printed on both sides of the paper. You can save costs on purchasing paper and will give your company a ‘greener’ edge over competitors at the same time.   The scanner is also duplex-ready, and can read both sides at once.
The printer has a display that is a 5” color touch control panel. This makes selecting your options extremely quick and simple.
Wireless connectivity is another great feature included on this model. This makes it easy and quick for both users and guests to do the jobs they need.
30 pages per minute is the printing speed of this machine. It prints just as quickly whether doing black & white or color. Even the largest printing jobs can get done just as fast.
Cost-per-page for black & white is 2.7 cents and color is 13 cents.
The paper tray holds up to 250 sheets, and an ADF (automatic document feeder) has the capacity of 50 sheets. If there are larger printing needs, there is an optional tray you can purchase that holds 500 sheets, making the total capacity 800.
 
Cons
While the text quality of this printer is outstanding, the graphics and photo quality falls a bit short. If you are going to be printing a lot of images, this is probably not the printer for you.
Considering the fact that the paper capacity of this printer is on the smaller side while the speed is quite high, you will be running through a lot of paper very quickly. This means it can get quite bothersome to constantly have to be refilling the paper tray.
