The Brother MFC-T780DW - known as the Brother DCP-T780DW in the UK - is the company's first serious ink tank printer, and it's a complete success. It might have lower-capacity tanks compared to units like the HP 7001, and for large-scale craft printing, I recommend opting for the versatile Epson EcoTank ET-8550. But I just can't fault the print quality here.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This printer is so fast and QUIET! I had no trouble connecting it to my wifi and it even has a mobile app. The quality of the prints is way better than my old printer and it doesn’t use nearly as much ink.

The T780DW’s higher nozzle density gives it an edge for sharper text, smoother gradients, and better reproduction of photos/graphics, according to reviewers.

Unless you need faxing in your life, this is the all-in-one printer to grab if you're after a reliable machine for excellent prints. The Brother INKvestment MFC-T780DW stands out largely thanks to its exceptionally low ink costs: just 0.3 cent per black page and 0.94 cent per color page based on our lab testing. That's value you can't ignore.

Photo output is not its strength. Images look flatter compared to photo-focused printers. This model works best for documents rather than visual-heavy prints.
