Brother's top 12 MFPs for home and office: rating 2021-2022 and model review + recommendations for selection

Multifunctional devices, or as everyone has long been accustomed to call them MFPs, have the unique ability to combine several functions in one device at once, at least a copier and a printer.

Also often there are devices that have scanner and even fax functions.

The advantages of multifunction devices are obvious - one device takes up much less space than three or four machines standing alone.

What do I need to look for?

Depending on your daily print volume, you may want to consider the following MFP options:

• Print speed (copying) - Number of pages per minute. An important characteristic for a busy and large office.
• Warm-up time - Required for some printer models before starting operation. Parts of the mechanism must warm up to the desired temperature. This can range from a few seconds to several minutes.
• Paper feed - The number of blank sheets in the printer. It is desirable that it should be fully sufficient for at least one working day.
• Double-sided printing - allows you to print on both sides of a sheet at once without having to turn it over manually, which can save a lot of time in office work.
• Noise level - Printers (MFPs) that are too noisy can create a significant disturbance for comfortable work. If you plan to print a lot and often, it is worth paying attention to this parameter. Choose a device with a minimum noise level.

Types of MFPs

MFPs generally use two technologies - laser and inkjet:

• Laser technology involves recording an image on a special photosensitive drum using the thinnest beam of a laser. In the places where the beam hits, a special finely dispersed powder - toner - adheres. This toner is transferred to the paper, which passes through the fuser unit. There, the toner is fused into the paper, resulting in a stable image.

• At inkjet printing Images are formed by tiny drops of ink flying out of special holes, the diameter of which is less than the thickness of a human hair. The smaller the volume of the droplet, the smaller the "blot" on the paper and the higher the image quality.
