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 MFC-6890CDW is a fine MFD for a small office, and a fantastic one for a home user. It is extremely well featured, from the wireless connection to the duplex printing, and of course its wonderful A3 scan/print support. Our only significant criticis...

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.

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...

Large format prints and scans; multiple connection options; automatic duplexing; inexpensive ink-cost per page when using high capacity cartridges.

Paper jams and misfeeds were common; paper trays were difficult to adjust; prints on Brother’s glossy photo paper were unattractive.

For those looking for a tabloid-sized multifunction printer, the MFC-6890CDW is a decent option. It has a ton of features and prints good quality office documents. Photos are not its strong suit, however, and its paper handling leaves something to be...
