Brother DCP-585CW review

By Rob Mead (pcadvisor.co.uk)

Brother's DCP-585CW offers printing, scanning and copying as well as photo printing. First impressions of the Brother DCP-585CW are very good. It has a low profile design, making it seem leaner than its rivals.

The Brother DCP-585CW gets a lot of things right in build quality and ease of use. But it's an indifferent performer with mono prints and you pay a speed penalty with the highest-quality photo output.

Brother DCP-585CW All-In-One Inkjet

By Simon Williams (trustedreviews.com)

Brother delivers another all-in-one printer with scanning and copying ability.

This is another curate's egg printer, which is only good in parts. A bit like Lexmark, Brother seems to have focused on the usability of its machines, with features like a good LCD display and wireless connection, while the features that really need...

Most customers will consider these two the more important.

Brother DCP-585CW

By Jayesh Limaye (techtree.com)

This jazzy-looking Wi-Fi enabled photo MFD is just as suitable for the home, as for the office.

Good print quality in normal mode, Fast print speeds in fast mode, Decent scanner, Wide color swivel LCD, Wi-Fi and Ethernet, Decent looks, Good bundled software

Skewed text prints in the fast mode, Reddish hue in photo prints, No FAX, No Wi-Fi on/off button/indicator, A bit expensive

Brother - DCP-585CW

By (itreviews.co.uk)

Brother has a range of inexpensive inkjet all-in-one printers and the DCP-585CW is designed to sit near the top of that range. It's a four-in-one machine, offering printing, scanning, copying and photo print, and this last ...

This is another machine that tries to blind you with its feature set. It has a good one, including cabled and wireless networking, photo print and a convenient double-width colour LCD. The key factors in any printer, though, are the quality and speed...

On both these measures, the DCP-585CW lags behind its main competition.

Brother makes the best printers

I've had lots over the years, and this, my second Brother, is the best so far! Does everything well. It's also very low profile - which fits my drawer

Off to a BAD Start

Great deal with many features...

I bought this printer for my mother and it was a great purchase. Very easy to setup and use, has a wide array of features, and was fairly inexpensive.

Nice Printer-Copier-Scanner for the Price

This printer is nice for the price. The scanner works good except I don't think it has as many options for scanning as my old stand alone scanner did.
