The choice between Brother MFC-T4500DW and Brother DCP-T530DW is not automatic duplex — both print two-sided automatically. The real split is job size: the first is an A3 MFC with fax and ADF; the second is a compact A4 print/scan/copy unit with flatbed-only scanning.
Pick the MFC-T4500DW if you print or copy larger than A4, need walk-up fax (up to 180 pages, ITU-T #1), or batch scanning via a 50-sheet ADF. It adds Ethernet beside 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, two trays (~350 sheets), and ISO speeds around 22/20 ipm. The trade-off is bulk: about 20.5 kg for the 220–240 V version used in this region.
Pick the DCP-T530DW for A4-only work with no fax or ADF, a lighter 7.2 kg body, automatic duplex on common A4 sizes, and ISO speeds around 16/9. “Up to 1200×6000 (Windows)” is not proof of higher print quality. This model is currently out of stock in the shop.
Inks are different families: T4500DW uses BTD60BK/BT5000 (about 6500/5000 declared pages); T530DW uses BTD100 (about 7500/5000). Inbox yield is not a running-cost win by itself, and first fill uses some ink to prime the tubes. 19200 dpi scan is interpolated, not optical.
Verdict: For A3, fax, or ADF, choose the in-stock T4500DW. For a small desk and A4 duplex without batch scanning, the T530DW is the smaller fit — but it is not purchasable here right now.
Automatic duplex (not the buying axis), dye CMYK ink, no duplex scan on either, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi on this region’s SKU.
Choose the MFC-T4500DW if the office prints or copies larger than A4, or needs fax or batch scanning via ADF. The DCP-T530DW fits a small A4 desk with automatic duplex and no fax or document feeder. Automatic two-sided printing is shared, so it does not decide the pair.
Based on current prices, DCP-T530DW Ink Tank Printer is the cheaper option. It costs 150 USD versus 580 USD for MFC-T4500DW Ink Tank Printer. The price difference is 430 USD, about 74.1% less. Prices are live and subject to change.
No. It prints, copies, and scans from the A4 flatbed only — no ADF and no fax. The 50-sheet ADF and fax memory up to 180 pages (ITU-T #1) belong to the MFC-T4500DW.
Yes, but the paper range differs: T4500DW up to A3 on plain/recycled paper; T530DW on common A4/Letter/Executive/A5/B5/B6 sizes. Automatic duplex is therefore not the differentiator.
They are different series: BTD60BK/BT5000 on the T4500DW (about 6500/5000 declared pages) versus BTD100 on the T530DW (about 7500/5000). Inbox yield is not automatically a lower running cost, and first fill uses some ink to prime the tubes.
The MFC-T4500DW is currently available. The DCP-T530DW is out of stock and its hero card shows «غير متوفر», so a technical preference does not mean you can buy it today.
T530DW “up to 1200×6000 (Windows)” is not proof of better print quality than the T4500DW’s 1200×4800. 19200×19200 scan is interpolated on both; optical scan is up to 1200×2400 from the glass.
MFC-T4500DW Ink Tank Printer is currently in stock at EvoLink in Damascus, with shipping to all Syrian governorates. DCP-T530DW Ink Tank Printer is currently out of stock; you can inquire about availability.
