Brother - Network-Ready Wireless Color All-In-One Printer

Found this little gem on sale while shopping for a replacement. I cannot stress enough the ease of setting this printer up. It has worked flawlessly on my home LAN. Docs are sharp and clear. Photos as good as my last "photo" printer. I have no problem recommending this product.

I've had, Lexmark, Canon, and Kodak brand printers for the past 3 years. Thought it was time for a change after I read the reviews for the Brother MFC-J835DW. I got the courage up when it went on sale under $100 and bought it. Wow!!! What a great decision. This printer is user friendly. Easy to set up wireless printing. Using the SD card function. Faxing and scanning. Printing from my phone 100 miles away to my home. Again, WOW!!! Very happy with the ink consumption also. This product blows alot of the well known name brands away. Very happy. Buy it. You won't regret it. My last printer was a Kodak 2750...junk compared to Brother. Very happy and satisfied.

I got this printer to replace an Epson Workforce 600 all in one that had stopped printing. Fixing would not have been cost effective. I was pretty happy with the Epson, but I must say I am as, or maybe even more satisfied with this printer. The print quality is very good and I'm also pretty happy with the ink life. The cost of the ink also seems quite a bit better than the Epson. I love the automatic duplex feature and also the dedicated 4x6 photo paper tray that you can keep loaded all of the time. No need to unload regular paper and load photo paper. Photo quality is also very good. An all around nice printer.

I read reviews on every iPhone/iPad compatible printer and they all seemed to say the same thing. So I picked this one purely on its cutesy design and decent price compared to some others. The main difference I've noticed is all other printer reviews said you had to wake the printer yourself before the phone/pad would print anything. Imagine my surprise when I clicked print and this printer sprang to life printing out my document! I have had this printer a few months and have found no faults!

I purchased this 4-in-1 printer this past Black Friday when it was on sale for 79.99 and that was a steal! I would buy it again at regular price - it is that good. It prints incredibly fast, in good quality. I have already used it a lot for school, printing out powerpoints and papers and stuff. The black and white prints unbelievably quick and the colored powerpoints are almost as quick. What I love the most is its versatility. It's hooked up to my parent's computers through the USB cable but I also connected it to our WiFi network and I am able to print from my Mac anywhere in the house without any decrease in quality. The WiFi is my favorite feature. It also has black, magenta, yellow and blue ink cartridges and you can replace them individually rather than having to but a whole new color cartridge if you even though you may only need one color. That is extremely cost effective. I'm still trying to figure out how to use the duplex feature, I haven't gotten to that part in the manual yet but I'm looking forward to using this more for both school and work and personal uses (faxing home-owners documents or whatever). This machine shares a line with our phone but it has a great option setting you can select where it can tell if it is a fax coming through or a regular phone call. If it's a fax, it won't ring and will just accept it right away. If it is a phone call, it will ring for however long you want it to. It is very friendly if you don't have a dedicated fax line. The look is very sleek and modern. It is very easy to use and set up. You will need a USB cable to connect the printed to your computer if that's how you want to hook it up. It does not come with it. It has other media slots though and you can even print on CDs and from CDs. Very great machine.

We've had it for about 1.5 months now, and used it as a printer,photo printer, and sent and received faxes so far. No scans. It has done everything we've wanted. Comparison to our HP 7280 is night and day! So much quieter and faster to boot. Doesn't take several minutes to warm up and doesn't shake the whole desk when in use. Faster print times. Also, it goes into a sleep mode after X amount of time and goes completely blank, unlike the HP, which always had a few lights on.Wakes up quick and right to work! Cant say how long the original cartridges last, but we've used it quite a bit and still going strong. I'm now a Brother fan for sure! Well worth the money!

Does everything I need it to do. My first wireless printer does what it should do, prints from any device connected to my wireless network. Each color is a separate cartridge so that you only replace what needs replacing rather than then entire color cartridge when the first color runs out (compare HP printers). I do prefer a feeder where you place the documents face up, but that is a minor detail that is easy to adjust for.

This printer has it all. Installation was easy. I love the color LCD touchscreen with all the menus on it! It PRINTS: (2-sided documents, photos), SCANS: (option to save an all text document to your word processor progam such as Microsoft Word and EDIT it! or save to file option which converts the document into a PDF, you can also email the things you scan), FAXES: (faxes in black and white & in color -- only if the other machine has color capability, you can save faxes into the memory or just dial it manually yourself, capable of giving your fax line a distinctive ring--if you pay for that option from your telephone carrier). The instruction booklet stated that my fax would conflict with my answering machine because they both use the same telephone number/line but I had no problems. I put the setting on TAD (Telephone Answering Device) and ringer on 4 rings, WI-FI: plug the ethernet cable from the printer to your router and you're done, instant WI-FI! Additional Feartures: Ability to write on a CD, memory stick/flash drive slots. BONUS: It is now able to do Cloud Print - which is a WI-FI way to print to your portable devices from anywhere. You first have to download Google Chrome - takes 2 minutes to do and they give you step-by-step instructions (Google.com/chrome). Don't worry, you can change your homepage back to the way it was by right clicking on your Internet Icon then click properties OR go to Control Panel then click Internet Options and under General you type in your homepage and click set as default then click apply. You can also delete the Google Internet shortcut and create another shortcut on your desktop for your original Internet Icon (right click the icon and choose create shortcut). I remember having a typewriter by BROTHERS when I was a kid. They have been around a long time and I consider them to be a major namebrand. Registering the printer was super easy. You fill out a sheet that BROTHERS provide (the serial number is located on the outside of the printer box itself) and then you fax it to them. They even fax you back a confirmation that they received your registration. There are four (4) printer cartridges (LC71) that you have to buy, however, the Black ink is $10 and there is a multi-pack that has the other three (3) in one (1) box for $30). BTW, when you put the cartriges in for the first time, that plastic orange piece has to come out of the printer lol). I am very pleased with my purchase and I highly recommend it.
