REVIEW
Most small offices could make good use, at least occasionally, of an all-in-one (AIO) that prints and scans tabloid size (11 by 17 inches). There's only one reason why almost all stay with models limited to letter and legal size: price. Tabloid-size models cost a lot more. At least, they did until now. The Brother MFC-6490CW ($300 street), the first printer in Brother's new Professional Series, offers features and quality at a low price and receives our Editors' Choice.
