Question Ranking
Pros
Pro Very low printing costs
The printer comes with 12 high-yield ink-cartridges included. If you print 300 pages (70% black-and-white, 30% color prints) per month, then this ink should last you for two years.
Pro Affordable
The Brother MFC-J985DW costs $239.99. The price is low for a business-printer, making it a great option when costs like this matter.
Pro Color touchscreen display
The printer has a touch-screen display so it's easy to operate.
Pro Decent feeder capacity
The feeder capacity is 100 sheets. Many large business printers can handle many times this much, but 100 pages should not cause issues for small business use.
Pro Two-sided printing
The printer is capable of automatic two-sided(duplex) printing. This can be crucial when printing stacks of documents.
Pro Many connection options
You can send your documents to the printer wirelessly over WiFi, Ethernet or WiFi Direct. You can use AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, Mopria, Brother iPrint&Scan and WiFi Direct to get the files from your device to the printer. Or you can print straight via USB.
Overall connecting to the printer is not an issue. It tends to work without problems.
Pro Decent printing speeds
You can print 12 black-and-white pages or 10 color pages per minute. Many large printers can be several times as fast, but a page per five seconds is a decent speed and shouldn't cause any issues in a small business with less printing activity.
Cons
Con Not suitable for a large office
The Brother MFC-J985DW's printing speeds of 12 pages per minute and the feeder capacity of 100 sheets may not be sufficient for a large office. In this case a more expensive and capable model should be chosen.
