Brother MFC-J5330DW

Brother is known for its speedy A4 landscape prints, and that innovation has allowed it to extend that speed to larger sizes. The MFC-J5330DW is an A4 all-in-one, but it can also take A3 paper in a single-sheet feed at the rear, or by extending its main paper tray, with up to 250 sheets at the...

Brother MFC-J5330DW

Even so, the MFC-J5330DW offers tabloid-size printing from two separate paper-input sources, good overall output, and so-so running costs at a reasonable price, as long as you don't need an auto-duplexing ADF.

Brother MFC-J5330DW Review

One of Brother's Business Smart Pro inkjet all-in-one (AIO) printers, the MFC-J5330DW ($199.99) prints tabloid-size (11-by-17-inch) pages. Some other tabloid-size AIOs, such as the Brother MFC-J6930DW and the Editors' Choice HP OfficeJet Pro 7740, not only print at tabloid size, but they also copy, scan, and fax those pages. In addition, where the HP 7740 and the Brother MFC-J6930DW come with auto-duplexing automatic document feeders (ADFs) for sending two-sided, multipage documents to the scanner without assistance, the MFC-J5330DW does not. Even so, the MFC-J5330DW prints well overall and is reasonably fast, and has a strong set of features and software, making it a solid choice for low-volume business printing in a home-based or small office or workgroup. It would also make a good personal AIO if you have the space for it. Wide-Format Pages and More Measuring 12 by 20.9 by 15.7 inches (HWD) with its trays closed and weighing 36.8 pounds, the MFC-J5330DW ($314.90 at Amazon) is ...

The business-oriented Brother MFC-J5330DW is a capable wide-format, low-volume color inkjet all-in-one printer. It's relatively fast, and it prints fairly well overall, albeit with some flawed business graphics.

MFC-J5330DW review, home office

The MFC-J5330DW was simple to set up and start printing wirelessly from my laptop. I can print from anywhere in the house. I have not set up my phone yet, but expect it to easy. Print quality is good, and the ability to print plans in A3 will be very helpful

Good Printer, Ink is expensive and doesn't last

I've had this printer for about a year and so far I'm quite satisfied with the printer itself. It prints well and reliably and the scanner works well, especially the auto doc feeder. My major complaint with this printer is the ink cartridges.
