    Most small offices could make good use, at least occasionally, of an all-in-one (AIO) that prints and scans tabloid size (11 by 17 inches). There's only one reason why almost all stay with models limited to letter and legal size: price. Tabloid-size models cost a lot more. At least, they did until now. The Brother MFC-6490CW ($300 street), the first printer in Brother's new Professional Series, offers features and quality at a low price and receives our Editors' Choice. Read more

Tech trendsetters may be put off because it doesn't support the newest wireless version, and while most of us should be just fine with the supported versions (b/g), printing takes a bit longer when done wirelessly. And bring your own USB cable, since one doesn't come with the printer. Read more

    paper feels 'damp' and sticks together alot even though you fan it - I love the wireless mode and fast quiet printing - its a good machine - just need to 'read' into and get use to the jams and how better to load the paper Read more
