Brother DCP-J140W Printer Quality Deemed As Nothing Special

The printing quality of the Brother DCP-J140W has been judged to be "nothing special".

Simon Handby from Expertreviews.co.uk made the assessment, citing the device's lacklustre performance on plain and photo paper.

Mr Handby noted that, while the standard was far from extraordinary, photos from the Brother printer were "more than adequate" for occasional use. 

However, the reviewer had positive things to say about the system's tray.

"The 100-sheet paper input tray seems more robust than we've seen on some of Brother's other printers, and it coped perfectly with a stack of paper which we had stored so awkwardly that it had developed a pronounced curve," he explained.

With regard to setting up the DCP-J140W, Mr Handby described entering a network passkey as a "little bit of a fumble", but admitted that it is otherwise "easy to set up".

Before deciding on a printer, it is important for consumers to fully explore the market, as there is a variety of devices to suit different needs.
