The default settings were suitable enough to produce high-quality prints at an impressive speed on regular paper.

However, some users encountered issues with the scanner not being able to reproduce pencil lines accurately, as it was too bright and lacked details. Moreover, when printing photos on photo paper, they found that the results were heavily saturated and dark. The settings had to be tweaked far from their default values in order to get acceptable results.

The BVR verdict is that even though the Brother MFC-6490CW Wireless All-in-One Inkjet Printer has its shortcomings like clunky scanning capability and poor photo paper results, it still offers good value for money due to its feature set and printing quality on regular paper.
