Expert Verdict

Printers have been getting surprisingly cheap, but the price tag on Brother's MFC-J5320DW prompted a double-take. This compact inkjet MFP can print, scan, copy, and fax and is all controlled by a color touchscreen. You can scan directly to an inserted USB stick or a cloud-based service like Google Drive after sharing it over a wired or wireless network. It includes a 35-page automated document feeder (ADF), can print on both sides of each page (duplex printing), and, as if that wasn't enough, can print on A3 paper.

The printer has a 6.8cm color touchscreen that provides immediate access to the printer's operations and capabilities, making control and setup simple. The printer weighs 10.8kg and is 240x490x290mm. The printer's reduced energy consumption earns it a higher environmental grade. Direct printing is possible with a USB flash drive. The BROTHER MFC J5320DW ink cartridges provide both sharp, clear text and high-quality photos.

This isn't a particularly attractive MFP, and the paper input tray is quite clattery and unpleasant to use. It's cumbersome to load it with A3 paper because you have to release a catch and stretch it entirely outwards, and different paper sizes are loaded with different orientations, which might rapidly get complicated. Although the USB port is hidden by a flap, it is located next to an empty slot that would normally house the SD card reader on more expensive versions. When it comes to operating costs, there's even more good news. The MFC-J5320DW comes with BROTHER MFC J5320DW ink cartridges that print 550 pages each, but you can upgrade to XL cartridges that print 2,400 black pages or 1,200 pages in each color. Using this, the cost per page is only 3.4p, with the black component being only 0.8p. For such a low-cost product, that's highly competitive. BROTHER MFC J5320DW is an inkjet printer that uses a four-color BROTHER MFC J5320DW ink cartridges system that is black, Cyan, Yellow and Magenta.

Fortunately, there's a lot to enjoy about this multifunction printer. There are some nice design touches, like the ADF cover that clicks shut to keep dust out. Its touchscreen isn't the largest and doesn't respond to swipe gestures, but it's generally responsive and the menu structure is straightforward; we enjoy the ability to create custom shortcuts. Connect via wired or wireless network, or use AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, or Brother's iPrint&Scan software to print directly from your mobile device. Connect to your online cloud-based accounts, such as OneNote, EVERNOTE, and PICASA, and instantly access your cloud storage, such as Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive, using the 6.8cm touchscreen without the need for a PC.
