Great printer with wide functionality
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The printer (MFC, which means it can also scan and copy) is great both for printing black and white documents and color images or photos (can print on glossy paper as well). It comes with enough ink to print several months. Also I suggest the Brother Refresh EZ Print subscription, which makes your ink volume virtually unlimited by sending you the replacement cartridges, when printer fills it's close to being out of ink.

Great printer
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of my co workers asked me to help her get this for her grand daughter and they love it. Copy & Prints clearly and comes with enough ink to last you a year. The size is just right it's not too big or too small.

Basic workhorse but don't expect much!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This printer is simply "okay" in my opinion. It's a very basic, no frills all in one printer. Will it get the job done? Yes. But don't expect much. For the average basic person, this printer will do. However, for me, the colors are very washed out and muted, in fact, the colors look like "draft mode" compared to prints from other competing printers. Even other Brother machines I've used print better than this. This machine doesn't print double sided on its own, but for a reasonable printer that won't break the bank it'll do the trick. This machine is LOUD. I will say, the printer starts right up to print, but it's so loud (not like it should matter - but it's annoying to me). Setup was straight forward. For me, I had a USB Print cable, so it made setup easier because I was able to transfer the WiFi settings to the printer this way (there is no LCD screen on the printer). You don't need a USB Cable to set it up, though - but it does speed things up. Other than that, it's a relatively zippy little machine but for the fact that the colors look so washed out, - THIS IS NOT FOR PHOTO PRINTING. When I printed a 4x6, I was highly disappointed. All in all, are there better options for the money? Absolutely. However, if you want a simple, no frills device that will print, copy and scan - this will do the trick.

Not for the occasional printing customer!
||Posted . Owned for more than 2 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve always had great success with Brother toner printers. This inkjet printer may be good for those that print on a regular basis. For us that print occasionally, it is a waste of money. I purchased my first one and got 6 pages of printing. I took it back within a few months and got a replacement under warranty. The replacement printed 6 pages and the next time I went to print the ink was dried up 100%. This is unacceptable!! The 6 prints that I was able to get were crisp and clear and quickly printed. I will not replace this printer and even with the inconvenience I will lad my projects on a thumb drive and take them to my local printer.
