Brother MFC-290C
$100.00
Released March, 2009
The Pros:Quick and easy to set up with software that's simple to install. Print times are fairly short for both color and black. Sturdy construction overall with no flimsy parts.
The Cons:Black prints lean toward grey, not a deep jet-black. No way to connect wirelessly or on a network, USB connection only.
