Our Verdict

Brother MFC-J995DW

HP OfficeJet 250

The Brother MFC-J995DW is better than the HP OfficeJet 250, but the HP is better for traveling. The Brother is a better choice if you plan to print large documents frequently because it has a much higher page yield and an incredibly low cost-per-print. However, the HP is better suited to printing on the go thanks to its rechargeable battery, compact design, and better connectivity options.
