Our take on the Brother MFC-L8970CDW Wired & Wireless Laser Multifunction Printer

The Brother MFC-L8970CDW is a color laser all-in-one for busy offices: print, copy, scan and fax at up to 33 pages per minute in mono or color, with automatic two-sided printing and a 7-inch color touchscreen. It connects over Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, USB, Apple AirPrint, Mopria and Brother Mobile Connect. It is over 25% smaller than the model it replaces, which matters in a shared office where floor or desk space is tight. Against color laser rivals it stands out for the large touchscreen with 64 custom shortcuts and for low running costs on high-yield toner, but it is a big, heavy floor-standing class machine rather than a desktop unit, and its color print resolution tops out at 2400 x 600 dpi.
