Editorial note
The Brother DCP-135C is a multifunction printer that stands out for its ability to deliver fast prints, with a speed of 25 pages per minute in black and 20 pages per minute in color. Its maximum print resolution of 6000 x 1200 DPI allows for high-quality documents, with precise details and vibrant colors. Additionally, its all-in-one features, including printing, scanning, and copying, provide valuable versatility for both home and professional users. However, some limitations may hinder its appeal. The lack of compatibility with Mac operating systems restricts its use for some users. Furthermore, the copying speed of 5 copies per minute may seem slow compared to other models, which could slow down document processing. The output capacity of only 50 sheets also requires frequent interruptions to avoid overflowing the tray, which can be inconvenient for those with high printing needs. Finally, the internal memory of 16 MB, while adequate for simple tasks, may not be sufficient for more demanding jobs. In terms of design, the Brother DCP-135C is well thought out to easily fit into a workspace. Its compact dimensions facilitate placement, and its design is suitable for both home use and a professional environment. Overall, the Brother DCP-135C is an interesting option for those looking for an all-in-one printer at an affordable price, offering varied features and satisfactory print quality. However, its limitations in terms of copying speed and compatibility may be factors to consider before purchase.Score details
