Our Verdict

Brother MFC-J4335DW

HP Smart Tank 7301 [6001, 7001]

The Brother MFC-J4335DW and HP Smart Tank 7301 are all-in-one inkjet printers with their respective strengths. While the Brother uses a traditional ink cartridge system, the HP is a supertank model with refillable ink reservoirs. As such, it offers vastly higher page yields than the Brother and a lower cost-per-print; this makes the HP the better choice for those with very high print loads. By contrast, if you have workloads that need to process a lot of scans, then you should consider the Brother. Its ADF-equipped scanner can scan up to 20 pages per minute and produces exceptional-quality scans. It also produces sharper-looking black and color documents.
