Brother DCP-J525W review

 

The Brother DCP-J525W is fast but its print quality suffers as a result. Colours lack vibrancy and text isn't as clean as it should be.

Fast print speeds ; Easy set-up ; Touchscreen control ; On-board Wi-Fi

Colours lack vibrancy ; Below-par text print quality

There's no doubting the DCP-J525W's speed. It pumps out documents at a fair lick of pace.

Brother DCP-J525W review

 

Brother's DCP-J525W is a budget inkjet MFP that's priced to appeal to both home and small business users. It's a little bulky, but its curved matt black chassis looks pleasingly sleek. The colour touchscreen is just big enough to use without...

This no-frills MFP is quick and functional, but print and scan quality is below par

Top class

 

This is a great little printer, does everything it's meant to do. Also i had to upgrade the firmware so i could print from my iPhone an iPad, took about 10min to get everything set up and running.

Value for Money

 

Great product. Still not tested all of the functions but it does everything and more that you require for a home printer. Ink doesn't seem too expensive either. Would definately recommend this product.

Does what it say's on the box!

 

Easy to use, easy to set-up and does its job in the background. Always makes me chuckle when I hear it kick into action across the landing in another room and startles the cat!
