BROTHER MFC-L8690CDW
The Brother MFC-L8690CDW has a squat, chunky build that is meant for speed and quantity. It definitely won’t win any prizes in a beauty contest but within beats the heart of a hard worker. Coming in around a hefty 27.9 kilograms, its 435 x 526 x 539mm footprint gives it a size to match.
It can hold up to 300-sheets of paper in its two trays and 150-sheets in the central out tray, while the supplied black toner cartridge is good for a very respectable 3,000 monoprints. Higher yield cartridges are available that will double that figure. Now, laser printers tend to be lower than inkjet printers in this respect, but at 2,400 x 600dpi, the print resolution is pretty good. Strangely though, it can’t print in A3. Perhaps this is a new trend manufacturers are following?
You can connect via WiFi or Wi-Fi Direct and it’s supported by a free app called iPrint&Scan. The companion app allows users to print wirelessly from cloud services such as Evernote and iCloud and check your toner levels and scan documents remotely. During our tests, we found that it couldn’t detect our 5GHz network, only the 2.4GHz one.
Navigation through the menu options was no problem thanks to the size of the LCD. While the 3.7inch LCD is big enough to show all necessary detail and information, its fixed position means that viewing the information can be difficult under some lighting conditions.
Black text printed fine, looking crisp and sharp to the naked eye. However, when magnified, the text was splotchier and overall not as sharp.

MEANINGFUL REFINEMENT

BIGGER DISPLAY, BUT WHAT ELSE?
