Brother DCP-350C

It has decent looks, but does the performance match up?

Decent scanner, good print quality in normal and best mode, good photo quality, good cost per page, decent looks

Fast mode is not usable, fringing in photo prints, no FAX

Design

The DCP-350C is an MFD that combines the functions of a printer, scanner, and copier. It has a white, gray, and silvery gray color body, which gives it a sophisticated look. It is just 15 cm tall and does not occupy much space.


The input and output trays consist of a single cassette-like structure with the cassette holding the input papers with face down, while the output paper gets accumulated on top, which is the output tray. The output tray has a special bypass tray section to hold up to 20 sheets of 4" x 6" paper.


Like all Brother products, in the DCP-350C, too, the USB cable has to be weaved into the interior of the device through a canal. This has to be done by opening the MFD like the bonnet of a car.


On the right, you can see a flap that opens to expose the cartridge bay. This is very convenient, as you do not have to stick your hand inside the device to install the cartridges. As you can see, there are four separate cartridges; thus, you save a lot of money because you only have to replace the cartridge which gets empty, which is not the case when using tri-color cartridges.


The control panel is situated on the right of the swivel LCD and consists of multiple keys. This is very easy to use and lets you access different functions such as Photo Capture, Scanning, Mono and Color Copy, as well as different MFD settings by means of the Menu button. The Ink Management button shows the ink-level in each cartridge.

On the long run, Rs.2 per page for a black print is sure to burn a whole in the wallet. I will look elsewhere.. probably EPSON or Canon
