Decision: The DCP-T730DW is the best overall because it combines an ADF, faster color performance, and higher included black ink yield. The DCP-T530DW remains the better fit when lower weight and a shorter body matter more and automatic document feeding is unnecessary.
Both are A4 multifunction ink tank printers with print, scan, and copy functions, a four-color CMYK system, and maximum print resolution of 1200 × 6000 dpi. They also share automatic duplex and borderless printing, a 150-sheet input tray, USB 2.0, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, AirPrint, Mopria, and Brother mobile printing services.
The main differences concern document handling and color performance. The DCP-T730DW includes a 20-sheet ADF, while the DCP-T530DW uses a flatbed scanner. ISO color print speed rises from 9 to 15.5 ppm, and ISO color copy speed rises from 3.5 to 8 ppm. The T730DW also includes black ink rated for 15,000 pages versus 7,500 pages and supports both 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi instead of 2.4 GHz only. In return, the T530DW is lighter at 6.3 kg versus 7.8 kg and shorter at 148.5 mm versus 182.5 mm.
The T530DW suits users who prioritize a lighter, lower-profile device and only need flatbed scanning. The T730DW is better suited to multi-page document handling and faster color printing and copying.
The DCP-T730DW adds a 20-sheet ADF, increases ISO color print speed to 15.5 ppm from 9 ppm and color copy speed to 8 ppm from 3.5 ppm, includes black ink rated for 15,000 rather than 7,500 pages, and supports 5 GHz Wi-Fi. The DCP-T530DW is lighter and has a lower profile.
Based on current prices, DCP-T530DW Ink Tank Printer is the cheaper option. It costs 150 USD versus 210 USD for DCP-T730DW Ink Tank Printer. The price difference is 60 USD, about 28.6% less. Prices are live and subject to change.
Choose the DCP-T730DW for multi-page documents or faster color printing and copying. Choose the DCP-T530DW when a lighter, shorter printer matters and flatbed scanning is sufficient. Based on the EvoLink data provided when this comparison was created, the T730DW is available while the T530DW is unavailable.
Both print, scan, and copy up to A4, use a four-color CMYK system, and provide maximum print resolution of 1200 × 6000 dpi. They also share automatic duplex and borderless printing, a 150-sheet input tray, USB 2.0, Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi Direct, AirPrint, and Mopria.
No. The DCP-T730DW includes a 20-sheet ADF for feeding several pages during scanning or copying. The DCP-T530DW is specified with a flatbed scanner, so documents are handled through the scanner glass.
