At a glance
The Brother MFC-J6560DW is a versatile A3 inkjet multifunction printer for home offices and small businesses that need printing, scanning, copying and faxing in one machine. Its strengths are A3 capability, fast print speeds, duplex printing and strong mobile and network connectivity. A fair limitation is that it is geared more to business documents than photo enthusiasts wanting specialist photo output.

Things to consider
While it can handle occasional photo printing, it is better suited to business and document-focused use than premium photo inkjet models designed for higher-end colour accuracy and photo media workflows.
Home office suitability score
9/10 - Strong all-in-one feature set, A3 support and wireless flexibility make it highly capable for serious home office use.
Photo printing quality
7/10 - Good for occasional colour and photo prints, but it is primarily tuned for business documents rather than specialist photo output.
Ease of use rating
8/10 - The touchscreen, ADF and mobile printing options make day-to-day use straightforward for most users.
Running cost guidance
Designed for value-conscious office printing, with up to 1 year of ink included in-box and features that suit regular document workloads.
Family friendliness
7/10 - Useful for mixed household printing like schoolwork and forms, though its A3 office focus may be more than some families need.
Key benefits
- A3 multifunction capability: Print, scan, copy and fax in one device, making it practical for larger documents and everyday office tasks.
- Automatic 2-sided A3 printing: Helps reduce paper use while making double-sided reports, forms and presentations easier to produce.
- Fast print performance: Up to 31 ppm helps keep routine office jobs moving with less waiting between documents.
- 250-sheet paper tray: Supports longer print runs with fewer paper refills during busy workdays.
- 50-sheet automatic document feeder: Makes multi-page scanning, copying and faxing more convenient for office paperwork.
- Flexible connectivity: Dual-band Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, Ethernet and USB make it easy to fit into different home or office setups.
- Mobile printing support: Works with Brother Mobile Connect, Apple AirPrint and Mopria for convenient printing from phones and tablets.
- 6.8 cm colour touchscreen: Simplifies navigation and helps users access common functions and shortcuts quickly.
Q: Does this Brother A3 inkjet multifunction scan and copy in A3 as well as print in A3?
A: Not always. On Brother A3 inkjet multifunction models, A3 printing does not automatically mean A3 scanning and copying. Some use an A4 scanner bed or ADF, so larger originals may need to be reduced or scanned in sections.
Q: Is an A3 inkjet multifunction a better fit than an A3 laser for colour documents at home?
A: Yes, for most home and light office colour work. An A3 inkjet multifunction is usually better for mixed documents, graphics and occasional photos, while an A3 laser is often the stronger option for very high volume text printing.
Q: How much more desk space should be allowed for a Brother A3 inkjet multifunction than an A4 model?
A: Allow noticeably more room than for an A4 multifunction. A3 models are typically around 10 to 20 cm wider and deeper, and they also need extra front space for the output tray and lid clearance above for scanning.
Q: Will A3 printing use much more ink than A4 on this type of Brother multifunction?
A: Yes. An A3 page has about twice the printable area of A4, so full-page colour jobs can use significantly more ink. Real usage depends on page coverage, draft versus standard quality, and whether you print mostly text or graphics.
Q: Is this Brother A3 inkjet multifunction suitable for photos, or is it mainly for office documents?
A: It is generally better suited to office documents and colour graphics, with occasional photo printing as a bonus. For the best photo results, use suitable photo paper. Plain paper photos will not match a dedicated photo printer finish.
