Our Verdict

Lexmark MC3426i

Brother MFC-L8905CDW [MFC-L8895CDW, MFC-L8900CDW]

The Brother MFC-L8905CDW is a better printer than the Lexmark MC3426i. They're both all-in-one color laser printers with ADF scanners capable of duplex scanning designed for small office and business environments. While both printers perform well, the Brother has better black color print yield, printing and duplex scanning speeds, and better scanning quality out of the box.
