Brother DCP-8085DN

By Peter (reevoo.com) Read the full review

Already having an HL1430 monochrome laser printer, with which I am very pleased, I purchased this, after a long selection process, to replace an ageing photocopier and to have more flexibility in some of my printing applications. Though I have so far...

Quite a tall machine - but a surprisingly small footprint

Brother DCP-8085DN review

By (expertreviews.co.uk)

With an automatic duplexer, a 50-page automatic document feeder (ADF) and a quoted print speed of 30ppm, Brother's DCP-8085DN mono laser MFP can do almost anything you'll need in a small office - as long as it's in black and white.

This expensive, but very capable, business MFP does everything you'll need. A good buy if you're upgrading your small or home office.

Brother DCP-8085DN review: multi-function laser printer

By Kat Orphanides (itpro.co.uk)

Brother reaches a consistently high standard for its office printers. Can it keep it up with this new multi-function, duplex capable laser?

The DCP-8085DN is easy to use and produced high quality results in all our tests. It did well in our graphical print tests and produced stunning looking business documents, although font sizes under 8pt looked a little spidery. This MFP is fast, easy...

Its costs aren't the lowest around, but they're typical for printers of this price range. If you're looking for a multi-functional device without fax capabilities, this MFP is a solid addition to any small office.
