Brother INKvestment 4355
Score: 79/100Rankings
The Brother INKvestment 4355 MFC-J4355DW is a feature-rich color inkjet all-in-one with automatic duplex, a 20-sheet ADF, touchscreen, and fax capability. Its limitations include the absence of Ethernet and single-sided ADF scanning. It fits well in small offices or home workspaces requiring color printing and multifunction features.
The Kodak Step is a pocket-sized Bluetooth/NFC printer that creates 2×3-inch sticky-back photos at 1200 dpi in under a minute. Its small format, limited battery life, and occasional color fidelity issues restrict it to casual, on-the-go photo sharing. Best for travelers and scrapbook enthusiasts who value portability over size.

Professional commentary is limited, but product-page editors highlight the Kodak Step's vivid "fantastic" print quality, rapid sub-minute printing, and the feature-rich KODAK STEP app as strong points, while noting the scarcity of independent, in-depth reviews.
Everyday users consistently praise the printer's effortless Bluetooth setup, quick print times, and durable sticky-backed photos, especially for high-contrast images, while occasional complaints focus on limited print size, color fidelity on low-contrast pictures, and the 25-print battery limit.
