Brother - INKvestment MFC-J985DW XL Wireless All-In-One Printer - Black

Great assistance with my purchase. Member highly competent and informative. All my questions were satisfactory answered. I am somewhat handicapped and was escorted to cashier to complete my purchase with a two year warranty. My rep. Also carried my printer to my car and put it in. Thanks to all.

So, I have had this printer combo machine for nearly a year. I am still on the first set of ink. I have not printed a lot of pages, but a decent number, and a fair number of photo quality color prints for various purposes. The quality of the printing is very good--black and white is crisp and color is nice. Lower quality color prints can look banded, but selecting higher res works fine. The photo quality prints are very good if printed on good paper. Not as cost effective or quite as crisp as having prints made usually, but this is a great option in a pinch. I can do all sorts of crafty things with this printer (printing iron-on transfers for example, works well) and image collages, etc. and the quality has been good. Double sided printing is also GREAT, as it does not require any refeeding into the machine. The scanner is the life-saver in this machine for me, and the wireless feature makes it just so much nicer than any other scanner I've had. Getting the scan quality perfect can occasionally be tricky, or getting the right size can take a little work, but again, at this price point, you have a lot of bang for the buck. Scanning many sheets with the auto feeder also makes life easier. The only cons are: sometimes it takes a little longer than it should for printer to process what it's doing; I do sometimes have bad feeds though the normal drawer (especially when down to only a few sheets of paper); occasionally the printer has trouble finding a Mac on a wireless connection. There can also be a time-out issue, because the printer will turn itself off and miss commands to print. These are easy to fix problems. With a sale and the three-pack of ink, this is a hard to beat printer. The quality is good, the printer is ink-saving, and all the features work well.

The brother printer is simple to set up and easy to use. Printed sheets are really clear even on draft setting. My first cartridges are still going strong after a multitude of wedding invitations. Really pleased with purchase.

Easy set up and sips ink compared to my previous HP printer. Needed something that would quickly support printing and scanning from tablets, phones, PCs and a Chromebook. This machine has met that goal and then some. Only reason I am not giving 5 stars is I have only owned this a month, reliability is yet to be proven although I have confidence in Brother.

The HP I had for a long time before I got the Brother ran out of ink quickly and it was expensive to replace. We were spending a lot of money on HP cartridges. With this Brother model the cartridges not only last a long time the quality is good also. It was a really easy setup, I chose to download the software and that worked well.

I like this printer so far. It is pretty easy to use and has prompts to help navigate the different setting. It seems like it's a little slow when printing pages and the text is a little light if I don't use the "best" setting, but otherwise we are happy with it.

Bought this printer to replace my old HP Officejet Pro printer that was getting just way too costly to maintain due to the expensive replacement costs for the ink cartridges as well as for the printheads. I also experienced many issues with my old HP Officehjet Pro printer constantly cleaning/realigning the printheads which excessively wasted too much ink. Bought this Brother MFC-J985DW XL printer and had absolutely no hassle in setting the printer up, joining my network or on any operational issued to date. Everything works really good and I can even print from my cell phone now - My old HP printer would not allow this feature to be activated due to constant error message.

The printer works great right out of the box. From time to time, the printer heads have to be cleaned in order to have a streak less print. The additional ink cartridges are a plus. Good printer for the price.
