A multifunctional is really an all-in-one device; it is both a scanner and a printer, and often even has a fax function. So effectively it's a copier, but one that has the scanning and printing functions available separately. All this is a great advantage when you have limited office space. Moreover, you will be able to work faster and more efficiently by using the device's convenient special functions.

Ultimately it has to be asked whether the advantages of having affordable A3 printing in the home are outweighed by the painfully slow printing process and at best indifferent output quality offered by the MFC-6890CDW. Brother - MFC-6890CDW All-in-One...

It is to Brothers great credit that the all-in-one MFC-6890CDW packs in as many wishlist features as reasonably possible without hitting buyers with an unfriendly price. This combined A3 colour inkjet printer and A3 scanner with a full-size glass plat...

The Brother MFC-6890CDW has intuitive onboard controls, and the oversized A3 scanner is equally easy to use. The optical quality is more than good enough for photocopying, although its no match for a dedicated photo scanner for serious photographic us...

The MFC-6890CDW is cheap to run and relatively inexpensive to buy, with generally good print quality. It has a decent range of features, including both duplex printing and scanning, but we were disappointed by its lack of a web interface and irritated...

As far as we know, Brother has a complete monopoly of inkjet all-in-ones capable of printing A3 pages. Clearly the company sees this as a useful niche market, as it has a range of machines that can handle the larger size. The MFC-6890CDW is the first, Bro...

The Brother MFC-6890CDW inkjet multifunction printer improves on the Brother MFC-6490CW multifunction, adding duplex capabilities and a touch screen. Though it could do with faster print speeds, this A3-capable printer is still a valuable addition to the cost-conscious office. The Brother MFC-6890CDW inkjet multifunction includes USB, Ethernet and Wi-Fi connections, with the two wired connections concealed beneath the scanner cover. PictBridge-capable USB devices can connect directly to the MFC...
