Product Details:
The Brother DCPJ1050dw is an inexpensive multifunction colour inkjet printer that prints, scans, and copies, and packs a lot of features into its small size. While not designed for heavy-duty printing (the recommended print volume is up to 250 pages a month), it can print at reasonable speeds. According to Brother, you’ll get up to 17.5 images per minute (ipm) for black and white; and 9.5 ipm for colour. What’s more, the DCPJ1050dw automatically prints double-sided A4 pages and handles plain, recycled, and photo papers weighing up to 220gsm. And you’ll get high-quality black and colour documents at a relatively low cost per page for an inkjet printer.
Easy to set up and use, this printer does not take up too much space in your home or home office — it easily fits on top of a filing cabinet. You can access it via a wireless network, or connect directly to your computer with a USB cable. With mobile devices, you can connect to print and scan using Wi-Fi Direct, Brother Mobile Connect, Apple AirPrint, or Mopria Print Service, no matter where you are around the house.
Print quality is clear and crisp for text while images have good colour saturation. The printer uses Brother LC431 black, cyan, magenta, and yellow colour inks, which are also available in higher-yield (500-page) XL sizes. Get the XL cartridges if you are printing enough to warrant it, as cost per page is lower. For greater savings and much lower ink cost per page, less expensive third-party compatible inks are also available.
In addition to its printing capabilities, the Brother DCPJ1050dw also offers convenient scanning features. You can scan documents directly to email, a USB drive, or the cloud for easy sharing and storage. The scanner has a maximum optical resolution of 1200 x 2400 dpi, producing clear and detailed scans. The printer lacks an automatic document feeder (ADF), however, so when scanning or copying multiple pages you need to feed each page manually.
If you are looking for a budget-friendly All-in-One printer that doesn’t sacrifice features or performance, the Brother DCPJ1050dw is an excellent choice. Its compact size, wireless connectivity, and versatile printing, scanning, and copying capabilities, make it a great option for most personal or home printing needs. If you need the extra features, the Brother MFC-DCPJ1010dw is an attractive alternative — you spend a bit more but get all this printer’s capabilities, along with an ADF, fax functionality, borderless printing, and two-sided copying.
