Brother DCP-T310 InkBenefit Plus

Advantages: Branded CISS. Piezoelectric printing technology. Very low cost of photos, compared to cartridge devices, even if you use branded ink. Low consumption. Very simple refueling, filled it in and forgot for a year or even two. Automatic printhead cleaning prevents ink from drying out.

Disadvantages: For three months did not reveal. The only thing that would add is the sound of the end of operations, a trifle, but nice.

Comment: If you like to tinker with filling and purging cartridges, and hands "rainbow color", then this device is not for you.)) This device will be appreciated by those who love "bought, filled and forgotten"! The price is relatively small, since the kit includes full-fledged ink cartridges, and not probes, it will pay off in six months or a year, spend much more on cartridges, even if you fill them yourself, This is from personal experience. Before that, there were two cartridge MFPs, I will not return to them again. I use only branded ink, saving on ink can get you to repair the print head, which is much more expensive. Would you recommend it to your friends? Definitely YES!

Advantages: 1. Brother quality 2. Seller and manufacturer warranty 3. Supported by all modern routers 4. Built-in CISS

Disadvantages: No cable for connecting to a computer (!!!)

Comment: The previous experience of using Brother MFPs did not put before the choice of which model and company to buy again. 130th worked in an intensive mode for about 7 years .... and now it still continues to work in a small office.Over time, I had to buy a separate CISS for the old one, this is all there is an excellent function. Of course, many will say that the ink from the company is expensive, but there are a lot of good substitutes that will not spoil the MFP. The settings have a couple of convenient functions, such as sleep mode (set by time) and self-shutdown (set by time). Scanning and printing are quite fast, acceptable. When connected via a router, the print output slows down by about 2 seconds. no more ... I think it's super. Honestly, I have not used photos for printing. The past experience is sad, and a lot of ink is consumed. I use it mainly for printing and scanning documents, both in a file and on paper, plus receipts for payments and much more. I use paper with a sheet of 200-300, there are no problems. Well, of course, the lower the density of the paper, the more expensive it is. As always, there is no cable to connect to the computer. PLEASE NOTE WHEN BUYING! Support for all operating systems without problems, even without the pre-installed software that comes on the disk with the MFP (Windows picks up Brother at once). The connection was made through a router .... For many, they are heaped up, have two or even three USB inputs, are used by few for their intended purpose. The router recognized the model at once, then it’s just a little set up all the "consumers" and go to ... print =) I recommend. An excellent and reliable economy option.

Advantages: CISS. Closed lower paper feed tray.

Disadvantages: Print speed. Inconvenient program for printing photos.

Comment: CISS is very convenient, filled in ink and forgot. 2 paper feed trays. In the lower, closed one, you can put a stack of plain paper, and print photos through the upper tray. Only for some reason, the printer grabbed the sheets from both trays, as a result, the photo partially shifted onto plain paper. The photo printing program is slow and inconvenient in terms of functionality. Before this printer, I had Canon. The latest MG5540 is heaven and earth. In the Canon program, you could add sharpness, contrast, brightness. You can't configure it manually here. The A4 photo was printed for an incredibly long time and somehow it turned out dark. I had to go into the print settings. Why complicate things so much. I compared old Canon photos - both on the screen and on paper - the colors are the same. This printer has a decent discrepancy. Next time I'll take Canon again.

Advantages: Price, functionality, CISS

Disadvantages: haven't found yet

Comment: An excellent model for the home.
