Decision: The MFC-L2885DW is the best overall due to its multifunction capabilities, ADF, Wi-Fi Direct, and stronger control interface. The P3300DW may suit users focused only on printing who prefer a smaller, lighter unit.
Both are monochrome laser printers that handle A4 paper at up to 1200 × 1200 dpi. They also provide automatic duplex printing, a 250-sheet input capacity, 256 MB of shared memory, and USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi connectivity.
The main difference is that the MFC-L2885DW prints, scans, copies, and faxes, with a Dual CIS scanner and 50-sheet ADF, while the P3300DW only prints. Brother also provides a 2.7-inch colour TFT display and Wi-Fi Direct, compared with Pantum's two-line LCD and explicit lack of Wi-Fi Direct. Print speeds are nearly identical at 34 versus 33 ppm, but Brother uses 470 W while printing versus 525 W. Pantum counters with a lighter 6.8 kg body, a 150-sheet output capacity, and toner rated for up to 6,000 pages, compared with 11.8 kg, 120 sheets, and up to 5,000 pages for Brother.
The MFC-L2885DW benefits users who need document scanning, copying, and faxing from one machine. The P3300DW suits print-only requirements where a smaller, lighter unit and higher output capacity matter more.
The MFC-L2885DW prints, scans, copies, and faxes, and includes a 50-sheet ADF, colour display, and Wi-Fi Direct. The P3300DW is print-only, but it is smaller and lighter, with a 150-sheet output capacity and a toner option rated for up to 6,000 pages.
Based on current prices, P3300DW Black & White Laser Printer is the cheaper option. It costs 115 USD versus 260 USD for MFC-L2885DW Monochrome Laser 4 in 1 Printer. The price difference is 145 USD, about 55.8% less. Prices are live and subject to change.
The MFC-L2885DW is better suited to users who need scanning, copying, and faxing alongside printing. The P3300DW may suit users whose requirements are limited to monochrome printing and who prioritise a smaller, lighter machine with higher paper output capacity.
Both provide monochrome A4 laser printing at up to 1200 × 1200 dpi, automatic duplex printing, a 250-sheet input tray, and 256 MB of shared memory. Their listed standard interfaces also include USB, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi.
The P3300DW has a higher 150-sheet output capacity versus 120 sheets and supports the 6,000-page TL-410X toner versus Brother's 5,000-page TN2500XXL. However, the MFC-L2885DW drum is rated for 15,000 pages, compared with 12,000 pages for the Pantum drum.
