Customer Ratings & Reviews

This printer was definitely one of the easiest printers to set up. The Quick Setup Guide had five clear steps to follow and it connected to my Wi-Fi with no problem. The print quality is very good. I keep it on normal for daily use and have used the Best setting for forms and even a brochure. More than adequate - especially for the price point of this printer! I'm excited to see if the ink lasts a long time - up to a year as they claim. I really recommend this printer. It is fast, easy to operate, and prints high quality.

I have used other Brother printers in the past and liked the print quality and ability to find cartridges at different stores. This printer out of the box was easy to setup and get printing. The black printing was fairly quick. The color was a little slow but the quality for both was very good. I haven't tried to cloud services you can connect but that is a nice feature to have especially for a inexpensive printer. The last great feature is the year long of ink.

The printer works great fast and eco friendly. The setup process is a nightmare. I can print from Android phone and iphones with ease but the computer fights with it 24/7. The network glitches out and then the printer refuses to reconnect to it.

Great item and easy to use, love how xompact it is,

This machine prints really fast and is so, very quiet. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Ok, in all honesty I was freaked out at first and ready to return this printer. Couldn't get it to connect to my network no matter how I interpreted the directions. Then I walked away for a few minutes and BOOM! Connected solidly to my network, and flawless printing ever since from every computer in my house and all of our mobile devices. I look forward to many years of reliability with this machine!

The Brother MFCJ1205W INKvestment Tank Inkjet printer is a great multifunction inkjet printer at a good price point. The printer features a "1 Year" supply of ink in the box which is pretty nice. These numbers are calculated on an average print volume of 80 pages per month with 60% being black and white and 40 % color. However it is important to note that print outputs are also determined on what is being printed. The printer itself is fairly compact which is nice because my previous printer had a much larger footprint. The printer has no screens on it and all setup is completed via the brother mobile connect app or via a direct connection to a computer. I seemed to have some difficulty setting up the printer via the app and had to connect it to my laptop in order to get it up and running. Once everything was setup I was easily able to wirelessly print via my phone and computer without any issues You can view the printer status and ink levels via the app as well all the scan/copy and maintenance settings. I found it much easier to use the app on my phone rather than a touchscreen on the printer itself. Most printer touchscreens exhibit a lag which can be annoying at times. Overall for the price paid I could not ask for a better experience with a multifunction inkjet printer. One of the best features of the printer is how long the Ink will last for most average users.

Great price, great ink longevity, easy ink cartridges replacement, overall low cost printer with big price features. Once I located the brother website to get updated drivers and software downloads for the printer, setup became a breeze. I love the phone app as well. Network setup for the iMac was quick and never over the last month have I lost the wireless connection. Ink usage is rocking and since I do mostly bw printing, see no issues getting a year or so out of the color cartridges but more frequent replacement of the black ink cartridges. For the overall initial purchase cost and later ink maintenance replacement cost, this is a great compact desk space saving device. Great overall print clarity, spread print out and fast scanning capabilities. Copy speed is very good too. Another Brother winner.

Purchased 6/2024. So far so great! Clean lines good color!

So far, so good! I set this up yesterday and everything went smoothly. The quality of the print is great, and the scan works well enough. I'm happy with the long-lasting cartridges, and even though you can't refill them, they last a long time and they are no more expensive than regular ink cartridges. This printer is definitely a keeper!

I had trouble connecting to my Wi-Fi ( not tech savvy ), but once everything was connected it’s a great printer. I love the fact that I can be in another room and print from my phone. Also, the colors are amazing when yoy need a colored document.

We purchased this printer about a month ago and are very satisfied. It was not too difficult to set up and it prints great! We are anxious to see how log the ink actually lasts.

It's good. Prints beautifully but doesn't always want to connect to my network.

Works fine. It does what I bought it for and it is faster at printing than I expected.

This printer is great! I had to get a usb cord which isn't included but it says that on the box. But I am pleased with this printer it's easy to use and arrived in great shape . Received it sooner than was expected.

Easy to set up and works great. The printer is compact so doesn't take up much space on the surface we chose to use it.

I've always been a fan of Brother printers. My old one lasted 10 or 11 years. I like the new one just as well (so far).

Printer works all right with Microsoft and Android OS, but not with Chrome. Brother set up and troubleshooting is very confusing and hard to use.

Very good printer for the money and basic print quality.

I like this printer, was easy to get up and running.
