Horrible quality.
Set up was okay. However horrible picture quality. Everything is like the ink has been out for centuries… barely any ink on the print.

Brother INKvestment MFC-J1215W is a Good Printer.
The Brother INKvestmsnt Tank MFC-J1215W Is a very good ink jet printer for a home office setting. Advantages: 1. It is easy to connect wirelessly to your computer. 2. It Will Copy, Print and Scan in color or black and white. 3. Adding Ink to the Tank is a very easy and clean process using Cartridge's that are easy to insert and snap into place. 4. The Quality of the Print is very nice. 5. I have not tried the Fax function since I no longer use a Telco line at my home office. There are 3 concerns with this Printer. 1. The Color prints do take a while to complete although the Black and White prints are relatively quick to exit. 2. Prints on GLOSSY or PHOTO PAPER take a long time to dry, so they should not be touched on the printed area for several minutes and should not be allowed to queue on top of each other until they are removed. 3 The Tray for Holding the Letter or 4 X 6 inch sizes of standard or glossy paper is limited to about 70 pages. You will need to replace the paper reservoir more often.
