  Published: 2008-08-05, Author: Simon , review by: trustedreviews.com

  • Abstract:  In an office where size matters, the A3 printer is king. You don't have to be a graphics professional to appreciate the advantages of paper twice as big as the ubiquitous A4. Anybody who produces any booklets or newsletters at A4 will appreciate being abl...

  • Wireless built in, Excellent print quality, Easy to set up
  • No duplex printing, Long print times
  • While this is a handy all-in-one for a small (or even not-so-small) office, not being able to duplex print is a real drawback. Tech trendsetters may be put off because it doesnt support the newest wireless version, and while most of us should be just ...

  • The Brother MFC-6490CW multifunction printer's wide-format capability is nice, but not its slow performance and variable print quality. Melissa Riofrio and Susan Silvius Lowest online price: £228.85 ...

  Published: 2009-02-11, review by: gadgetspeak.com

  • Abstract:  Say the word ‘A3’ and most immediately think too big or too heavy or probably both. Well it will not fit where I review A4 units – no surprise there – but it sits in the doorway to my office quite happily and it just needs an extension on the USB lead,...

  • Abstract:  A bigger Brother. Affordable oversize printing and scanning. There are plenty of all-in-one printer/scanners around, but what almost all have in common is their A4 size. Brothers MFC-6490CW is the first that can print on A3+ paper and scan documents...

  Published: 2008-09-18, review by: itreviews.com

  • Abstract:  As a first attempt at an A3 all-in-one office inkjet, the MFC-6490CW makes a lot of the right moves. It has twin paper trays, a good scanner and some useful extras, such as the widescreen LCD display. A couple of annoying shortcomings, particularly th...

  • Goodquality prints; accepts A3 paper; easy to install; wired and wireless networking,
  • No duplex function; slightly flimsy chassis,
  • If you’ll make good use of its A3 functions, this is a good-quality multifunction device...

  • Abstract:  Brothers MFC-6490CW is an A3+ business inkjet MFP with integrated fax and A3+ scanner, so you can produce A3 posters and scan double-page magazine spreads and tabloid-sized newspaper pages. Even the 50-page automatic document feeder (ADF) can handl...

  Published: 2008-08-28, review by: itpro.co.uk

  • Abstract:  We suspect this is the first of several A3 all-in-one printers to be released by the major manufacturers over the next year. While its well-specified and does its job reasonably well, there are some design flaws in the menu system and it would benefit...
