The Brother MFC J5330DW is a small printer made for Home and Small Business.  Some of the features are the flexible paper handling capabilities, printing up to 11″ x 17″, automatic duplexing (two-sided printing), wireless and mobile connections, with options for regular and high yield ink cartridges.

One thing we like about this printer is the two-year warranty with free Brother phone support for the life of the product.  You can buy from Amazon and we can repair the printer under or out of warranty if it runs into any issues.

We arranged the printer specifications in an easy tab format for your convenience
