Good Points
Good all round All in one printer with more than acceptable print quality.
Great Value for an A3
Bad Points
The paper loading tray has to be at the bottom because of the design, but the plastic construction could be a little smoother in operation and of a more robust quality.

    Summary: Brother's MFC-5890CN is a six-in-one inkjet multifunction device that allows you to print, scan, photocopy, read memory cards, and send and receive fa...

    Conclusion: If you want an A3 multifunction device that's affordable and won't take up too much space in your home or office, the Brother MFC-5890CN is the ideal choice. We found it easy to use, it produced good quality photo prints and its ongoing running costs...

    Pro : A3 printing, good photo quality, easy-to-use front panel, not a space hog

    Cons : Slow in our document printing test, inks can be tricky to install, scanner didn't pick up fine details

    Summary: The Brother MFC-5890CN is hands down the worst printer to have taken up space in our lab. From the irritating initial set-up to the horrendous output quality and slow print speed, this device is one of the easiest ways we can think of to flush £160...

    Conclusion: Coloured graphic prints looked even worse, with heavy line weights and blotchy colour blends that transition so abruptly you can see white blocks between them. We also tried to print graphics and photos with the driver's 'vivid colour' and True2Life...

    Pro : Large, colour LCD screen

    Cons : Poor output quality ; Slow print times ; Ugly and impractical design ; Lacks wireless networking

    Summary: From start to finish, the Brother MFC-5890CN leaves many unanswered questions in its wake: Who designed this eyesore? Why is it so expensive? Did they forget to test out the features before production? Whatever the answer, one thing is certain: we're...

    Conclusion: The Brother MFC-5890CN all-in-one is hands down the worst printer to take up space in our lab. From the irritating initial set up to the horrendous output quality and slow print speed, this device is the easiest way to flush $200 down the drain.

    Pro : Low cost to print; two-year warranty

    Cons : Poor output quality; slow print times; awkward build quality; outdated design; lacks wireless networking

    Summary: A capable all-in-one, including photo print, fax and A3 printing. A good, widescreen LCD, too.

    Conclusion: If you need the facility to print A3 pages, this machine can save you around £70 over the full A3 scanning and copying model. It produces reasonable print, but not nearly as quickly as Brother would have you believe.
