Brother DCP-165C


$80.00 Released October, 2008

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Ink cartridges are pretty cheap for this model, resulting in lower-than-average cost per page. Two-year warranty is double what is usually found with home printers.

The Cons:Bland, dated design is way behind most modern printers. Button layout is awkward to use, features a one-line LCD display that's hard to read. USB port is a huge hassle to get to as it's located inside the printer.

The Brother DCP-165C is an all-in-one & compact digital copier, scanner, and inkjet printer designed for printing, copying, or scanning school projects, photos, recipes, web pages, and much more. It features ultra-fast 25ppm color and 30ppm black printing speeds, speedy 18cpm color and 20cpm black copy speeds, and a maximum printing resolution up to a whopping 6000x1200 dpi.
