![]() The high-yield supplies are even better, working out to 1.9 cents per page for black (the $117 cartridge lasts 6000 pages) and 3.6 cents per color, per page (each $125 cartridge lasts 3500 pages). Each 1500-page color costs $70, or 4.7 cents per page. The MFC-9970CDW’s standard-size black cartridge costs $63 and lasts 2500 pages, or 2.5 cents per page. Replacement costs are refreshingly affordable–especially when you see that the like-priced Xerox WorkCentre 6505/DN is charging significantly more than average. Standard-size supplies ship with the MFC-9970CDW. Color scans disappointed us the most, looking very dark. Color images showed yellowish and sometimes grainy or blotchy qualities. The output quality is more pedestrian, but still satisfactory for most mainstream-office use. ![]() The Oki MC561 is even faster, but the MFC-9970CDW bests it in other respects. PDF prints, as well as copies and scans, were also fast. One of our hardest tests, a high-resolution, full-size color photo printed on the Mac, exited at a swift rate of 1.3 ppm. Snapshot-size photos printed from the PC at above-average rates (3.2 ppm overall). ![]() In our speed tests, printing mostly plain text with a few simple grayscale graphics, the machine posted an impressive rate of 15.7 pages per minute on the PC and a slightly better result on the Mac (15.8 ppm). The MFC-9970CDW gets the job done quickly, if not always perfectly.
