Brother MFC-J1205W vs HP OfficeJet 250

If you're in the market for a standard inkjet printer but don't want to spend a fortune, the best cheap printer we've tested is the Brother MFC-J1205W. It uses Brother's INKvestment Tank, a hybrid tank–cartridge system, which produces over 1,000 black-only pages, and over 700 color pages before needing replacing. Thanks to its high page yields, its cost-per-print is extremely low, saving you money in the long run.

I run an ebay business, and I love my LP 2844 thermal printer. Its old as hell, but I bought it used for like $40, I can get free labels from UPS and it's printed several thousand labels for me while needing no maintenance or extra costs such as ink, toner, or paper. Now compare that to my roommates HP OfficeJet 8020, which constantly seems like it has something wrong with it and needs costly new ink, you see why I'm wondering if there are full size thermal printers. If there aren't or they aren't a realistic solution, what is my cheapest option as far as initial costs and upkeep? I'm moving into a new place by myself soon so I need something full size

The biggest selling point with this pick is that you can print thousands of pages before the ink runs out. It's a plus when you already need to pay for tuition and books. The cartridges are a bit on the expensive side, though, but at least you won’t have to spend money on ink replacements like you would on some other models.

These match the running costs of the OfficeJet 200. The printer uses two cartridges: one for black ink and one tricolor (yellow/cyan/magenta). The high-yield black cartridge is rated at up to 600 pages, while the high-yield color cartridge is rated at up to 415 pages, considerably in excess of the highest-capacity cartridges offered by Canon and Epson. You shouldn't have to change cartridges all that frequently, which is a real strength in a mobile printer

Printed photos look decent, and the accuracy of colors is acceptable for casual use. The connectivity options are satisfactory, including Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service, and you can use the refreshed Brother Mobile Connect app to print, scan, copy, and perform maintenance tasks.

Is there a good printer that can be out of the way, print Letter size, scan A4 size, and accept files from my android?

I am distinctly Unhappy with the wireless printing. I was unable to get the mobile app on my cell connected, which is disappointing. Any documents or photos have to be uploaded to print from my computer. Additionally, each time I needed to print from my laptop, I had to reboot the printer and/or router

Click on the the same "DIRECT-00-HP OfficeJet 250" connection and reconnect. (default password is 12345678). 5. Wait

I'll be talking about five entry-level AIOs ranging from about $80 to $150 here, including Brother's MFC-J491DW, HP's Envy Pro 6452 All-in-One, Epson's WorkForce Pro WF-3820 Wireless All-in-One, and Canon's Pixma TS6420 Wireless Inkjet All-in-One and Pixma TR4520 Wireless Printer.

Hoping this will serve me well and reliably on my many trips where I don't have WiFi.

The printer produces good output but with the limited selections during printer setup this thing drinks the ink more than I drink beer. My wife wanted a printer at our vacation place to create her projects, one where she could print beyond traditional boundaries but the borderless selection that allows this automatically puts the printer in high quality photo mode and kills your ink cartridges fast. Wouldn't be so bad but Brother only makes the cartridges with a tiny amount of ink and charges a ridiculous price. In the eight days we've had the printer I've already ordered ink in excess of the cost of the printer itself

It is now replaced by OfficeJet Pro 7740 I believe?. It's cartridge based so if you're not going to use it often, purchase a couple of extra heads as it will dry out.
