Brother MFC-6650MC Printer Review:

The Brother MFC-6650MC is a multifunction laser printer that can also copy and fax. It is designed for home and small office environment, but can still handle a fairly large volume of printing when needed. Brother MFC-6650MC toner costs are low, making it easy on the wallet.

The machine measures 18 inches by 13.2 inches by 9.9 inches and weighs 18.7 pounds. Although it isn't necessarily bulky, it takes up a larger footprint than most laser printers, such as the LaserJet 2300 toner printer. Printing resolution is 600 dpi for sharp print quality and the fax speeds are limited to 14.4 kbps. Copying and faxing are a bit limited by the lack of a flatbed scanning surface, so users can only scan and fax pages that will go through its sheet-fed scanner. The amount of functionality packed into a single, affordable machine tends to balance out its few shortcomings, however.

Brother MFC-6650MC toner cartridges have page yield of 2,200 pages at 5% coverage. Compared to dedicated printers and fax machines in Brother's line, the MFC-6650MC offers the best of both in a single machine, at only a slightly higher price. In fact, buyers looking for a dedicated fax may want to spend a bit more for this model, even if they don't have a need for the printing capabilities at the moment.

Overall, the Brother MFC-6650MC is an affordable solution for a small office's printing and faxing needs and has the bonus of being a capable copy machine. The low price and relatively high capacity of Brother MFC-6650MC toner makes it an even better value.
