Product Code: MFC6490CWZU1 Brother's colour inkjet multifunction printer (MFP), the Brother MFC-6490CW, adds wide-format printing capability to an already long list of functions. Unfortunately, extremely slow performance is the tradeoff. For £299 (i...

The Brother MFC-6490CW multifunction printer's wide-format capability is nice, but not its slow performance and variable print quality. Melissa Riofrio and Susan Silvius Lowest online price: £228.85...

Say the word ‘A3’ and most immediately think too big or too heavy or probably both. Well it will not fit where I review A4 units – no surprise there – but it sits in the doorway to my office quite happily and it just needs an extension on the USB lead...

A bigger Brother. Affordable oversize printing and scanning. There are plenty of all-in-one printer/scanners around, but what almost all have in common is their A4 size. Brothers MFC-6490CW is the first that can print on A3+ paper and scan documents...

As a first attempt at an A3 all-in-one office inkjet, the MFC-6490CW makes a lot of the right moves. It has twin paper trays, a good scanner and some useful extras, such as the widescreen LCD display. A couple of annoying shortcomings, particularly th...

An A3 printer is a useful thing. It allows you to print small poster-sized images, multi-page pamphlets on one sheet and can even be used in pre-production environments to output full-sized double-page proofs. But most people don't own or run them beca...

We suspect this is the first of several A3 all-in-one printers to be released by the major manufacturers over the next year. While its well-specified and does its job reasonably well, there are some design flaws in the menu system and it would benefit...

If A4 paper just isnt big enough, then Brothers MFC-6490CW might just be your next multifunction printer. It isnt the best or fastest A3 printer available, but the combination of features and its low running cost make it a tempting buy. Though it has the basic shape and look of a standard Brother inkjet multifunction printer, the MFC-6490CW is a different beast altogether. Its wide and deep enough to cope with A3 media, and high enough to fit 400 sheets at a time. It isnt as big as the Eps...

Most A3 all-in-ones we see are laser based, have prices in the thousands and have dimensions a small building would be proud of. Brother’s MFC-6490CW is different: it’s an inkjet A3 all-in-one – the only one we’ve ever seen – and as a result it’s much...

Very compact and incredibly cheap for an A3 all-in-one, but speed and print quality are only average...
