Brother DCPJ1310DW Printer – Wireless A4 Colour All-in-One Inkjet

Brand:

Brother

Manufacturer’s Code:

DCPJ1310DW

Product Details:

There’s not a lot to choose between the entry-level Brother DCP-J1050DW inkjet printer and its newer sibling, the DCP-J1310dw.

Both printers have near-identical specs, but the newer printer is lighter and more compact, with additional memory. Curiously, the newer printer is slightly slower when printing and copying, but the extra memory (256MB, up from 128MB) means it can better handle more complex jobs (like large PDF files or multi-copy scans).

Although the DCP-J1310DW is an inexpensive printer, it is not short on features. It can scan and copy as well as print, and it prints at up to 16 images per minute (ipm) for black and white; and 9 ipm for colour. Users rate it highly for its compact, stylish design and for its print quality (up to 1200 x 6000 dpi). Automatic double-sided printing is a plus for cost-conscious and eco-savvy buyers, but the printer has only one paper tray (which will take up to 150 A4 sheets) and no multipurpose tray.

User reviews also rate the printer highly for wireless and USB functionality (it supports Wi-Fi Direct, Apple AirPrint, Mopria, and the Brother Mobile Connect app). However, while the printer is reportedly easy to operate, the 4.5cm colour display is on the small side (and it is not touch-sensitive).

This printer remains a good choice for home and small-office users who value wireless functionality and quality output, but (as is to be expected at this price point) ink refills are comparatively expensive.

The printer ships with starter-size printer cartridges that are rated to produce up to 200 pages (Black) and up to 200 pages (Colour). When you need refills, the high-yield LC531XL cartridges are a better deal (both Black and Colour are rated to print up to 500 pages), while standard yield LC531 are manufacturer-rated to print up to 250 pages Black and up to 200 pages Colour.
