Brother MFC-J1205W/MFC-J1215W

The Brother MFC-J1205W is good for family use. It produces high-quality black and color documents, and thanks to its high page yields, it doesn't cost much to maintain. For photos, it prints very detailed pictures with reasonably accurate colors; however, it can't produce bright, saturated tones. It connects via Wi-Fi or USB and supports Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service, making it easy for every household member to access. It only has a flatbed scanner, so scanning multi-page documents can be very time-consuming, and while the scan quality is great, some finer details don't come through, which isn't ideal for digitizing photos and graphics.
