Kodak Step Black
Score: 60/100
Brother INKvestment 4355
Score: 74/100Rankings
The Brother INKvestment MFC-J4355DW is a compact all-in-one inkjet offering high-yield cartridges, automatic duplex printing, and strong cloud and mobile connectivity. It excels for document-centric tasks but lacks automatic duplex scanning and a larger display.
The Kodak Step is a palm-sized, battery-powered Zink printer that creates 2×3 in adhesive photos directly from iOS or Android devices. It offers great value and portability, but its speed, print quality and reliance on a mobile app limit its use to casual scenarios.
