All You Need to Know About Brother MFC-J1205W Ink and Cartridges Review
The Brother MFC-J1205W is, an all-in-one printer best suited for families and students. It uses Brother’s patented INKvestment Tank ink system, a hybrid of high capacity cartridges and super tank printers, for excellent page coverage or great print value.
It feels very well built, has easy access to paper jams and ink cartridges, and has a flatbed scanner that rises a bit to scan thicker objects.
Unfortunately, there’s no automatic document feeder, and it generally prints disappointingly slowly. While it produces decent-looking photos with reasonably accurate colors, there is some graininess and banding that is more noticeable in brighter areas.

Brother MFC-J1205W available in white only. There’s also a Walmart-exclusive Brother MFC-J1215W that has the same specs and we think it performs similarly, though we haven’t tested it.
However, the MFC-J1215W does not appear to have a warranty card in the box. At the time of writing, the Brother MFC-J1205W is only available in North America.
