Editorial note

The Brother MFC-J5720DW stands out for its impressive performance, particularly with its printing speed of up to 35 pages per minute in black and 27 pages per minute in color, making it an ideal choice for everyday use. Its maximum print resolution of 6000 x 1200 DPI ensures documents and images of exceptional clarity. Additionally, the automatic duplex printing feature helps save paper and reduce printing costs. The ability to scan and copy in color with an optical resolution of 2400 x 2400 DPI adds significant value to this device. However, the Brother MFC-J5720DW also has some drawbacks. Although it offers many features, the automatic duplex copying function is not available, which may frustrate users looking to optimize their paper consumption. Furthermore, the color printing speed is lower than that of some competitors, which could slow down the workflow for those with high printing needs. The initial setup of the printer can be complex for some, and its relatively high weight of 14.5 kg may pose transportation issues in office environments. In terms of user experience, wireless connectivity and support for mobile printing are major assets, providing appreciated usage flexibility. However, the initial purchase cost may be a barrier for small businesses or home users, thus limiting its accessibility. In summary, the Brother MFC-J5720DW is a high-performing and feature-rich device, but it could benefit from improvements in certain areas to fully meet user expectations.
