Overview. Aimed at small offices and homes, the Brother DCP-165C excels more when it comes to home printing, rather than in a small office atmosphere. Overall, this printer, scanner and copier is not the best around, due to its poor print quality and slow printing speeds, but it’s an affordable option for those wishing to do basic home printing. Benefits. The price of the Brother DCP-165C is pretty standard, but the low ink price is what impresses users. Its easy to use control panel makes it easy for even first time users. Its usability is what makes the Brother DCP-165C printer stand out from the crowd. On top of this, it is possible to print directly from a digital camera, memory cards or flash drives. This multifunction device is pretty much perfect for home printing and photo printing but may struggle in small offices with high printing demand. Limitations. The real thing that lets down the Brother DCP-165C multifunction printer is the printing speed and overall print quality. The printing speed is rather slow and the quality of the printing isn’t the best. Users have also found the start-up time to be rather slow, which could be frustrating. Users have also found that the paper tray could do with some slight improvement as it’s flimsy and floppy.
