- Lexmark Platinum Pro 905
- Businesses shopping for a new multifunction printer already have enough decisions to make without throwing a touch-screen option into the mix, but most of the big printer vendors already have models with one or one in the works. We've reviewed the Brother MFC-990CW and the HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless,...

- Brother MFC-990CW
- The Brother MFC-990CW is an ideal multifunction printer that can truly do it all: for $230, you get a 4.2-inch touch-screen LCD display, 802.11 b/g wireless networking, a cordless handset with a digital answering machine, autoduplexing, and Bluetooth connectivity, just to name a few of the extended features. Only a...

- Brother MFC-3360C
- The Brother MFC-3360c multifunction might be one of the least expensive multifunction printers to hit the market, but it's far from the best. Aesthetically speaking, the boxy shape and drab color can't keep up with its competitors' modern designs, and although the print quality improves from other Brother printers we've...

- The Brother DCP-165C is the reason why people dread hitting the print button on their computers.

- After giving the Brother MFC-5890CN a not-so-great review, we weren't breaking down doors with excitement over the step-down model. We expected another unstylish device marred by mechanical imperfections and unsuitable for any environment where productivity is a factor. Fortunately for Brother, this $130 all-in-one is actually a better printer than...

- Brother MFC-5890CN
- From start to finish, the Brother MFC-5890CN leaves many unanswered questions in its wake: Who designed this eyesore? Why is it so expensive? Did they forget to test out the features before production? Whatever the answer, one thing is certain: we're unapologetically dissatisfied with this all-in-one printer/scanner/fax/copier. Don't be fooled...

- It's no surprise that the printer industry is making a calculated shift toward all-in-one printers featuring copiers, scanner, and fax machines all built into one device, and the transition is win-win: consumers benefit from lowered prices for more capable machines, and manufacturers can sell us more ink cartridges and paper...
