Brother MFC-L3710CW Review
The Brother MFC-L3710CW ($349.99) is an entry-level all-in-one color laser-class printer designed for small offices and workgroups. It costs $50 less than the Editors' Choice Brother MFC-L3770CDW, but that price difference means sacrificing a few key features, including automatic two-sided printing, copying, scanning, and faxing, along with Ethernet support and the ability to print from and scan to thumb drives.

The MFC-L3710CW offers some strong perks, including good text and photo quality and a sizable automatic document feeder, but you'll likely find the MFC-L3770CDW a better value if your budget can stretch a bit.
