Tight on space? You still have room for a printer — if it’s the Brother MFC-J1205W

Brother's MFC-J1205W INKvestment Tank is an all-in-one printer with unique features that set it apart from competing solutions. Most notable is the remarkably compact size, but Brother also takes a different approach to inkjet tank technology.

Fast printing for an inkjet Low price for an all-in-one Relatively low cost per page Up to a year of ink included Fast scanning Page yield estimation

Photos lack contrast and saturation Photo scans require an extra step Difficult to set up envelope prints

For a home office, the Brother MFC-J1205W will work well. It’s a particularly nice option if space is limited. You can put this printer on a deep shelf or right up against a wall with easy access to the paper tray and output bin at the front. Beyond...

Low price Good output quality, especially text Borderless printing Fairly low running costs, especially for color Thousands of pages of ink in the box

No automatic document feeder No flash memory support

The Brother MFC-J1205W is an entry-level family and home-office AIO that prints well and, as an INKvestment Tank model, offers reasonable running costs.

Brother MFC-J1205w review

The Brother MFC-J1205w ($130) is a basic multifunction printer that performs very well at most tasks. As is common in this price range, this printer lacks a duplexer for making two-sided prints and copies, and does not offer an automatic document...

Fast text and graphics printing Makes copies quickly Fast scanning High image quality

Photo printing is very slow Color copying speed is average Wireless setup was clunky Borderless photos must be printed with included software No display screen

Document printing, scanning and copying are the main attractions of this bargain-priced Brother multifunction, though photo printing feels like an afterthought.
