The Brother MFC-J4550DW isn’t a showpiece, but a reliable workhorse. Its strengths lie in its low printing costs – particularly for an inkjet printer – and its high speed. Anyone who regularly prints large numbers of pages will make noticeable savings here. There are some compromises when it comes to scanning and noise levels. However, for typical office tasks, this is hardly an issue.
