Brother DCP-T530DW and DCP-T430W are the same class of home ink-tank MFPs: print, copy, and flatbed scan at matching ISO speeds of 16 ipm black and 9 ipm colour, with the same BTD100 bottles (about 7,500 black / 5,000 colour pages). The purchase axis is not speed or ink. It is duplex: automatic on the T530DW versus manual page-flipping on the T430W. Neither model has an ADF; that feeder belongs to the T730/T830 series.

Choose the DCP-T530DW when two-sided contracts, reports, or homework are routine and you want the printer to turn plain or recycled A4/Letter itself. The one-line LCD is easier to follow than the LED key panel, but ISO print, copy, and scan do not beat the sibling. The weight shown here is 7.2 kg from Asia-region data; Gulf/EU sheets for the same model often list 6.3 kg, so do not buy on weight. This unit is currently out of stock at $150.

Choose the DCP-T430W when single-sided work is enough or you will flip pages by hand, and you need a printer today: it is in stock at $125. Both listings show 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only. Peak print resolution is 1200×6000 on Windows, and 19200 dpi scan is interpolated, not optical (optical is 1200×2400).

Verdict: the $25 gap buys automatic duplex, not faster ISO output. Wait for the T530DW if daily page-flipping would annoy you. Buy the T430W now if you want the same 16 ipm tank printer that is actually on the shelf.
