Ultra-cheap ink costs, Crisp, dark text, Fairly quick, Full-featured,
Photo quality is good, but not great
Inkjet all-in-one printers can be ink-guzzling money pits -- but the Brother MFC-J985DW is refreshingly different, experts say. It's as cheap to run as a bare-bones black-and-white laser printer, but with color inks to print photos and graphics...

Brother's MFC-J985DW all-in-one delivers a lot for the money. The fast scanning, copying and text-printing speeds make it well-suited for a home or small office, and you'll be pleased with the quality of prints. I'd look elsewhere if I were primarily usin...

Abstract: As consumers get wise to the razor-blade model of printer sales where the initial investment is low, but the ink costs end up being much more than the printer, companies are changing tactics and offering packages that include not just high-quality printer...

The Brother MFC-J985DW seems like a typical lower-price inkjet MFP but for one thing: its unusually low running costs, which are unheard of in a printer at its price...

We've tested our fair share of all-in-one print stations, and we're happy to say that this one is a solid buy. When you factor in the cost of ink cartridges, though, the Brother Brother MFC-J985DW XL is actually quite a bit cheaper than it's competitors...

This entry-level AIO prints, copies, and scans great-looking documents, at a cost per page that's aggressive—at least, once you start purchasing its replacement cartridges. Read More…...
Cartridges are easy to fit just slot in and wait for the click, The scanner worked well, with hardly any distortion in the image, The print is quick with documents taking just seconds to complete, You can print directly from smartphones and tablets, and i
The printer didn't have a premium feel, We were disappointed by the print quality text appeared soft and undefined, while photos were washed out, lacking colour and detail too
The Brother MFC-J985DW is ideal if you want a fast printer and a low price per print. The scanner coped well and we were impressed with the addition of NFC printing for smartphones. However, the print quality lets the printer down...
Coût à la page avantageux, Un panel de fonctionnalités très complet, Elle fait mieux que dépanner en photo, Consommation électrique assez faible
Assez bruyante à l'impression, Pas toujours très rapide, Léger manque de finesse en réglage bureautique de base, Rendu décevant du scanner à 100 dpi, Ergonomie perfectible
La Brother MFC J985DW mérite bien ses 4 étoiles. C'est une bonne imprimante, assez compacte vu son positionnement, et qui sait offrir un coût à la page réellement intéressant et un rendu correct en photo. Toutefois, elle est moins à son avantage à l'usage...

Geringste Druckkosten im Test, Kartenleser, Hohes Scantempo
Etwas geringe Druckqualität, Etwas geringes Drucktempo
Zwar punktet der MFC-J985DW in den Bereichen Ausstattung und Druckkosten, das allein reicht aber nicht für eine „gute“ Endnote. Die ausbaufähige Druckqualität und das langsame Tempo reichten am Ende nur für ein „befriedigendes“ Testergebnis. Im großen Ver...
Abstract: Bei der Anschaffung eines einfachen Tinten-AIOs entdeckt man den wahren Kaufpreis erst, wenn man das erste Mal Tinte nachkaufen musste. Brother und Epson bieten relativ teure Tintenmultifunktionsdrucker an, bei denen die Tinte zum Nachkaufen aber extrem g...
