Brother MFC-420CN USB Printer —

Is price really all that matters?
For me the answer is a resounding NO. Little did I know this inexpensive 3-in-1 couldn't handle business card perforated paper by Avery, which I use a lot. So I am bummed. Plus, I discovered that this printer uses an abnormally large number of separate ink cartridges. Steer clear, I'd say, of this one. Brother surely has a better product out there...

The Bottom Line: Libby's Leary.
