      Comments about Brother MFC-990CW Wireless All-In-One Color Inkjet Printer w/5.8GHz Handset:

      This machine is multi-functional, which is what I love about it. The touchscreen is very easy to use. However, the color print quality is not amazing...it is pretty grainy. I don't need that color all that much, but if you are looking for a printer for images, don't get this one. Otherwise, it is good!

          This printer is perfect for our small office, but the only problem I have is that I can not send information to it to print from my laptop via Bluetooth. Other than that, the printer works great!
