Is the Brother MFC-L8900CDW good for a small office?

Yes. It handles high-volume color printing, copying, scanning and faxing, and its paper capacity expands with optional trays. Its size and weight mean it needs a dedicated spot.

Does it print and scan double-sided?

Yes. Duplex printing is automatic, and the reversing document feeder scans both sides of a stack in one pass.

Brother rates it at 33 pages per minute for both mono and color, with copy speeds around 31 pages per minute.

What connectivity does it offer?

Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB, AirPrint and NFC for tap-to-print from phones and badges. It also supports mobile printing apps.

Is the color quality good enough for marketing materials?

It is strong for documents, charts and presentations, but it is not a photo printer. For glossy photos, an inkjet or dedicated photo printer does better.

What comes in the box?

The printer, starter toner cartridges, a drum unit, power cord, setup guide and installation disc. Cables and extra paper trays are sold separately.
