Stiftung Warentest13 DruckerReleaseApril 2017

Trotz einer Reihe guter Qualitäten wird der Brother am Ende mit einer ausreichenden Bewertung abgestraft. Das größte Problem ist die schlechte Druckqualität, die auch Kopierergebnisse negativ beeinflusst. Mit der Scanner-Einheit kann man hingegen ganz zufrieden sein und auch sonst gibt es kaum etwas zu kritisieren...

Das MFC-J985DW von Brother ist sehr gut ausgestattet und druckt bei niedrigen Kosten in sehr guter Qualität. Bei hohen Qualitätsansprüchen muss man Zeit mitbringen.
