The Brother DCP-150C's photo prints take an age but are worth it; strong scanning but mediocre copying; very high colour print costs.

If your quantity and quality needs are modest, the Brother HL-2040's sticker price will make it at home on your desk.

The HL-2070N is a well-built printer for small groups of low-volume users.

The HL-4040CN is designed to be, and is priced as, a low-end machine. Its only option is a networking add-on.

With fast printing, quality output, easy networking, and a built-in duplexer, the Brother HL-5250DN would be a great choice for a small office.

Brother's MFC-665CW has great features, is easy to set up and is well designed. It's suitable for a home office or for a small office environment.

The Brother MFC-9420CN offers most of the functions you'd want in an all-in-one, but its design often gets in the way. We'd trade some of its admirable speed for better print quality and ease of use.

If you're hunting for an affordably priced multi-purpose, space-saving unit for your home office or small business the MFC-640CW could be for you.

This unit has plenty of features and is intuitive to use. As a printer for the user who wants to print independently of a PC, it does quite well. However, its print quality in our tests was not as good across the board as competitive Epson and HP printers.

For the money, you get good overall speed and output, along with some reasonable compromises.

This simple, inexpensive, and compact home printer is adequate for everyday printing tasks, but its print quality could be better.

Though not a looker, lacking in versatility and slightly short on image quality, the Selphy CP510 is still worthy of your attention. That reasonable price and those brilliant running costs make this a good, cheap model.
