Key Advantages

The Brother MFC-J680DW offers excellent integration of multiple office functions in a compact footprint, saving space for workstations. Wireless and Ethernet connectivity options provide flexibility for network deployment without extensive cabling. High-resolution printing with innobella inks enhances print output quality, suitable for both documents and photos. Automatic duplex printing and a 20-sheet ADF increase productivity by streamlining multi-page tasks and reducing manual handling. Mobile printing compatibility ensures users can print easily from smartphones and tablets, supporting modern workflows. The use of individual ink cartridges reduces waste and cost by allowing replacement of only the depleted color.

Limitations

The print speed, while adequate for small office use, may be slower compared to laser printers, particularly for large-volume jobs. The 150-sheet paper capacity might require frequent refilling in busier environments. Inkjet technology, while providing color quality, tends to have higher running costs over time versus monochrome laser printers. The 1.8-inch color display is relatively small, which can limit ease of navigation for some users. The fax functionality, though useful, operates at standard speeds and may be slower than dedicated fax machines. The MFC-J680DW lacks support for some advanced enterprise features such as secure print release or advanced network management found in higher-end models.
