Brother DCP-J1800DW All-in-One Wireless Inkjet Printer

More Room For Paper Theres not much room for paper (150 sheets) and theres no USB Host port, but with a touchscreen interface and a reasonably fast print speed of 17ipm (imprints per minute), it looks like a fair deal. Theres no escaping the fact that this is a cartridge inkjet printer, so the consumables cost will always be considerable, but lets see if its worth the investment. Automatic Document Feeder.

The Brother DCP-J1800DW is commendably compact for an all-in-one incorporating an automatic document feeder. With the ADFs flaps closed, the top presents a convenient flat surface on which you can inspect documents. Beneath the ADF, theres an A4-sized glass scanner bed and a front panel that tilts outward for easier access to the 6.8cm colour touchscreen display.

500 printed pages. The ink compartment is just large enough for four cartridges and sadly, the DCP-J1800DW is not compatible with Brother's super high yield INKvestment cartridges. The biggest you can buy are the LC421XL high yield cartridges which will give you an unimpressive 500 printed pages.

high resolution The Brother DCP-J1800DW has all the features you could ask of a small business printer aimed at the home office. It cannot duplex scan and theres no USB Host port or NFC, but the guillotine makes up for that. It can auto duplex print in colour, scan via the scanner bed or ADF and make copies while reducing, or enlarging the original by up to 400 percent.

The print and copy quality is of suitably high resolution and the memory capacity of 512MB is ample. Like most inkjets, the Brother DCP-J1800DW can handle a variety of media including heavy 300g/m2 paper stock, coated photo paper and envelopes of all sizes. This printer can also watermark your pages, add date and time stamps, or print numbered two-sided pages for A5 booklets.
