The Brother MFC-J430W is the second-largest unit in our roundup at 9kg. Only the Epson Workforce 435 is heftier. The printer is entirely matte black, apart from a piano-black panel in the centre of the scanner lid. The controls are simple, and feature...

This printer is highly responsive, no matter which mode you're in. You won't waste time waiting to print, even if you just turned it on or took it off standby. In both cases, the J430W takes 10 seconds less than the Canon Pixma MX360.The MFC-J430W is t...

Brother’s MFC-J430W is one of the cheaper and more compact printers in this group. It doesn’t have quite the same speed and capacity as some of its rivals, so it probably won’t be ideal for an office where a number of people will need to share the prin...

Modest print speeds in high quality mode; colour printing price could be more competitive...

Print costs aren't quite as competitive as some of its rivals, though, at 2.5p for mono and 7.9p for colour prints. That confirms the impression that the MFC-J430W is primarily aimed at home workers who need versatility rather than high performance from t...

This is a multi function unit (it has fax) and it can connect either by USB or Wi-Fi. In fact I used both with equal success. I did however have a failure as no matter what I tried it refused to feed photo paper in any way...

Review date: 17 October, 2011. Review by: Martyn Clayden The Brother MFC-J430W is the latest on test in a new batch of six budget-conscious multifunction printers (MFPs) that has just been released. It's a 4-in-1 device, so you can send faxes as well...

Photocopies come out a bit pale.

The Brother MFC-J430W all-in-one printer is compact, chic, easy to use and clearly laid out and manages to produce decent quality documents and photos at reasonably fast speeds. Photocopies are not wonderful, though, and a couple of standard fixtures a...

Brother's range of personal inkjet all-in-ones all look suspiciously similar, but the company manages to differentiate them by careful choice of features and prices. The MFC-J430W sits just above entry-level and is a little more austere than some of its p...

Brother only quotes draft speeds for the MFC-J430W, with 33ppm for black print and 26ppm for colour. Under test, we saw 6.5ppm on our five-page black text print and 8.6ppm when printed in ‘fast' mode, which we assume is draft by another name. Some way off...

The Brother MFC-J430W is a squat device that can print, scan, copy and fax. There's also a smallish colour display and wireless networking, but no wired Ethernet connection or memory card slots. This is an office-orientated device, though, so memory ca...

Unlike most sub-£100 inkjet multi-function printers (MFPs), the Brother MFC-J430w leans much more toward being office-centric rather than being a home printer. Given the price, that's a little surprising, but if you're looking for an inexpensive printer f...
