Brother DCP-157C Printer Review
Expert review of the Brother DCP-157C printer
Users who require an all-in-one device with direct-printing capabilities will appreciate the Brother DCP-157C multifunction printer. The Brother DCP157C is a good all round performer when it comes to tasks in the home office and a small business that requires an efficient photo and text printer, but it is not the fastest device around, and is inefficient for bulk printing.
Design
With a fairly compact and lightweight frame, the Brother DCP-157C colour inkjet printer is a suitable addition to a small or home office environment that needs a user-friendly all-in-one device. The control panel may look overwhelming at first, but it is easy to understand, thanks to the one-touch buttons and a small status screen. The paper feed and output tray are conveniently located in the front centre of the device, right beneath the panel for the PictBridge port and memory card slots. The top centre section of the DCP157C is mostly dominated by the flatbed scanner and copier.
Advantages
The Brother DCP-157C printer is an affordable multifunction device with good features like a colour copier, a high-resolution scanner, and direct printing capabilities for a home office. Its forte is photo printing because of the high 6000x2400dpi resolution, so output looks very detailed. The PictBridge port is useful for users who do not have time to load pictures into their computer. It's also cheap to replace the ink cartridges of the Brother DCP157C, giving more savings to users in the long-run.
Disadvantages
Print speeds are among the major setbacks of the Brother DCP-157C – up to 9.5ppm in monochrome and 5.6ppm in colour. The copier needs improvement in terms of output because colour documents look dull and darker, while monochrome copies appear washed-out. The scanner's hinged lid prevents the Brother DCP 157C multifunction printer from accommodating thicker and bulkier items.
