Recommended products for multi-function printers: MFC J200, DCP T300, DCP T500, DCP T700, MFC T800 series
 
is also from Japan, the product direction is also computers and office equipment, and the brothers are much more low-key than Epson and Canon. But in fact, as early as the 50s and 70s of the last century, the sewing machines and typewriters made by the brothers had a huge market share in the United States. Subsequently, the printer and fax machine developed became the mainstream brand in the United States, and it has maintained the first market share of fax machines in the United States for 7 consecutive years.
 
The brother inkjet printers sold in China are divided into two series, DCP and MFC, both of which are multi-functional color jets, and the latter has more fax functions. Both series adopt an ink cartridge structure, with a built-in ink cartridge placed on the right side of the product, and a layer of transparent plastic on the outside of the fuselage, which makes the ink volume visible for timely addition. Most of the suitable ink cartridges have a print volume of up to 6500 pages, and they only need to be filled 1-2 times a year for daily household use.
 
The core technology of Brother and Epson is very similar, using ink cartridge design and micro-piezoelectric technology. However, Epson focused more on functionality, while Brother focused more on the working performance of the product. For example, the equivalent price of the brother MFC T810W and Epson L4158 comparison, T810W copy resolution up to 1200×600dpi, scanning gray level is full of 256 levels, the most obvious gap is in the fax effect, it can reach 14.4kbps transmission speed, transfer memory nearly 200 pages, and Epson's L4158 copy resolution is only 360×360dpi, scanning gray level 48, and no fax function, the performance can be seen.
 
The market positioning of brother printers is not much different from Epson, which is also oriented to the high-end and has similar core technologies. For users who do not need fax, we recommend the DCP T710W, which has a high-quality printing speed of 12 sheets per minute and a print volume of 6,500 pages of black and white text, which is suitable for home business offices. At the same time, it is equipped with a 20-page automatic feeder, and the work efficiency of the copy and scanning function is higher than that of other products in the same series, and the price is close to 1500 yuan. If you need a fax function, you can consider MFC T910DW, which has more automatic duplex printing than T710W, and supports more operating systems, and the price is 600 yuan higher.
 
However, the functional shortcomings of the brother are also more obvious, and the home machine below 1500 yuan does not support automatic double-sided printing. At the same time, the printers of this brand are all "heavyweight" products, even the entry-level T300, weighs more than 7kg, which is 30%-50% heavier than the same configuration models of HP and Canon.
