Print quality has always been a bit contentious, since Brother considers it pretty good, and the number of printers the company sells shows that customers feel much the same. But when I compare results with those from machines with thermal printheads – such as Canon and HP – text isn’t as sharp and colours aren’t as bright. Running costs for this Brother machine, at 1.7p for mono and 5.2p for colour, are better than average for the class of printer.

On the other hand, the MFC-J5330DW printed impeccable photos for a printer in this class (or any class). When I took the time to use glossy paper and make the right tweaks in the driver, the images that rolled out were of keeper quality. They would perhaps be perfect for a realtor or somebody else who needs quality photos, or maybe even photos of your children or from your vacation.

While it's not a photo printer, I timed MFC-J5330DW's photograph printing prowess, anyway. It printed our two highly detailed and colorful 4-by-6-inch snapshots at an average of 21 seconds. That's 14 seconds slower than the Brother MFC-J6930DW, 12 and 14 seconds faster than the HP 7720 and HP 7740, respectively, and 1 minute 4 seconds faster than the Brother MFC-J5830DW and MFC-J6535DW.

That’s on plain paper. When printing photos, on each company’s own-brand photo paper, there’s far less difference between Brother and other makes. Colours are bright where they should be and pleasantly pastel in landscapes. Detail is good throughout.
