Our Verdict
Brother MFC-J995DW
Brother MFC-J6945DW
The Brother MFC-J6945DW and the Brother MFC-J995DW use the proprietary INKvestment Tank hybrid cartridge–tank system for superb page yields at an outstandingly low cost-per-print. However, the J6945DW is better for small or home offices, while the J995DW is better for families and students. The J6945DW can scan and print 11" x 17" tabloid-format sheets, and it holds significantly more sheets in its input trays. On the other hand, the J995DW produces significantly better-looking photos, and it can print directly from SD cards.
