Brother MFC-440CN
CNET reviews the Brother MFC-440CN and writes, “We wish we could say that the MFC-440CN made up for its lack of speed in quality, but, alas, we can’t. The text print was decent, though we could see jagged edges and other imperfections with the naked eye. The text in the color graphics prints showed the same problems. Even worse was the color handling in the graphics prints: Colors were faded and washed-out–they looked the way prints do when the printer is running low on ink. Color blocks showed visible graininess, and we saw some banding in the color gradients. The photo elements also showed graininess and washed-out colors.”
PCMag reviews the Brother MFC-440cn and writes, “Unfortunately, even though that performance represents a vast improvement over the previous-generation model, the 440cn is still noticeably slower than its competition. … Based strictly on speed, output quality, and paper capacity, the 440cn would be hard to recommend. Its saving grace is its long list of features—from faxing to an ADF to the photo paper tray that lets you switch between standard and photo printing without changing paper. Quite simply, what makes the Brother MFC-440cn worth considering is that it offers a heavy-duty set of conveniences to small offices with light printing needs.”
