Manual of product MFC-J6959DW
Editorial note
The Brother MFC-J6959DW stands out for its exceptional print quality, achieving a maximum resolution of 1200 x 4800 DPI, making it an ideal choice for professionals requiring documents and images with vibrant colors. With a print speed of 30 pages per minute, this printer optimizes work time, and its built-in duplex printing feature helps reduce paper consumption. The user experience is enhanced by an intuitive touchscreen, making the use of the device enjoyable and efficient. Additionally, the versatile connectivity, including Ethernet and Wi-Fi, allows for easy integration into various networks while offering the ability to print wirelessly from mobile devices. Sustainability certifications, such as Blue Angel and Nordic Swan Ecolabel, attest to its environmental respect and energy efficiency. However, some drawbacks should be noted. The lack of automatic duplex copying may be a hindrance for users wishing to make double-sided copies without manual intervention. Furthermore, although the noise level in print mode is reasonable, it may be considered too high in very quiet work environments. Its weight of 28.6 kg also complicates its installation and movement. Finally, the cost of ink cartridges can add up quickly for those with high print volumes, which may affect the perception of its value for money. Despite these drawbacks, the Brother MFC-J6959DW remains a robust and high-performing printer, suited to professional needs.Score details
