Brother MFC-J890DW Specifications
The Brother MFC-J890DW turns out to be on the whole a well-designed and complete printer. Given its functions and its positioning. It imposes an acceptable volume (42 x 34 x 17 cm, shutters closed). The plastics are of good quality and the assembly inspires confidence. A flap opens on the top to feed the automatic document feeder for faxing or batch scanning. The control panel is below and condenses. Its functions on a touch screen of only 6.8 cm diagonal. Supplemented by three small touch buttons on the side. The support for NFC pairing and the presence of a USB port and a card reader. Behind a small hatch stamped with the Brother logo. Wi-Fi Direct is clearly supported. As our major print-from-the-cloud services like those from Apple and Google.
The paper feed is done on two entries and mainly through. The lower cassette can carry up to 100 sheets of standard paper. A cassette that also provides a “photo” position. Especially for 10 x 15 cm prints. There is a removable flap at the back. That allows access to the printer’s cogs in order to intervene if a sheet is jammed. In terms of connections. The MFC-J890DW is complete and there is something to manage the fax (two RJ11 sockets). As well as an Ethernet socket and a USB Type-B connector for direct connection.
Power Consumption
In terms of power consumption, the Brother MFC-J890DW is a good student. It consumes 1 W on standby and only 12 W when printing photos in A4 format. It is more improved than previous Brother printers. Although larger, meets the same uses and is offered on a roughly identical price list. Indeed, the previous Brother printers consume up to 22 W in photo printing.
As far as noise pollution is concerned. It is quite high on this Brother printer. Without reaching peaks. We are still talking about 49.5 dB raised in standard printing and 43.7 dB in photo printing. We, therefore, hear it working quite hard. Especially when loading pages. By activating the “Silent” mode. There is a marked improvement which is paid for by a drop in printing speed.
Brother MFC-J890DW Cost per page
An interesting part of this test, the calculation of the cost per page gives us a good idea of the interest in Brother’s InkBenefit system, which makes it possible to use high-capacity cartridges. Without reaching the unbeatable cost of EcoTanks from Epson. We benefit here from a really advantageous cost per page of 0.008 € in black and white, and 0.041 € in color.
Thanks to a black cartridge given for autonomy of 2400 pages and colors given for 1200 pages. Brother, therefore, wins its bet. The MFC-J890DW does much better than the EcoTanks from Epson and tackled the costs of laser printers without managing to fall below €0.074 per page on average. For a cartridge printer, this Brother model is therefore very interesting because of its cost of use.
Scan and copies
The flatbed scanner of the MFC-J890DW works up to a resolution of 1200 x 2400 dpi. It only takes 9 seconds to scan a 10 x 15 cm photo at 300 dpi and 10 seconds to archive a document at 100 dpi. In copying, the Brother model takes 16 seconds to output a black-and-white document and 21 seconds to output a color document.
Photos are not the preferred area of this Brother printer. But it takes 1 minute and 6 seconds to print a 10 x 15 cm photo and 2 minutes 40 seconds for a borderless A4 size photo. Even so, the print quality is very good. Borderless printing is well managed and the colorimetric drift (delta E) measured with the probe averages 6.3. A delta E raises the fault away from the cyan and the green, while the magenta is very well rendered.
Office automation
It is obviously in office automation that we expected the Brother MFC-J890DW the most. Despite good qualities in office automation. Speed is essential this time since speeds of 18.8 pages/minute in black and white and 16.2 ppm in color are measured in real conditions. The MFC-J890DW manages automatic duplexing and drops to 3.9 ppm in this mode in black and white.
The quality of the rendering in office automation lacks precision for our taste. While the solid colors and color gradients come out a little faded. It’s acceptable, but the MFC-J890DW is capable of doing better. On and ready to print, the Brother MFC-J890DW takes 17 seconds to print its first black and white page. When exiting sleep mode. This same page takes 26 seconds to print. A time that goes up to 29 seconds from a printer off. It is not in this area that the MFC-J890DW will stand out, these delays being quite long.
