    Definitely worth the price Easy to use app, easy setup, good print quality (documents … don’t print photos) AirPrint and Windows 10 USB both work perfectly with zero setup

    I think I spent more time unboxing the printer than I did setting up the printer and syncing into my phone. Very quick easy to use VERY happy with my purchase. Prints very quickly with clear and precise colors.

    The Supply-Chain Made Me Do It

    Not the printer of first choice, but supply chain hang-ups decided for me. That said, surprisingly fast prints First red color print a little faded; will see if that improves with use. Quick set-up was not that quick following the printed guide. Struck out on my own and thing fell into place. All in all, for the price ($110), an OK printer for my casual needs.

    Great printer scanner. Brother is one of the few manufacturers that makes native Linux drivers; that coupled with the ink was the primary drivers for the purchase. Had it for over a year now and still really like it. Individual colors are easy to replace and affordable for now. Plenty of warning to be able to watch the ink before it becomes a problem and is out.

    Purchased this model of Brother, although I wanted another one, but no one had in stock. After installing the software, didn't install the recommended drivers though, it seems to be a nice printer. I will need to use it more to give a thorough review. I hope I don't need any ink anytime soon. The price is almost as much as the printer is.

    Satisfactory with good quality printing

    Satisfactory. Occasionally it picks up two or three sheets when printing the first page of a small series of pages (i.e. print 1,3,5,7 9). Also, I don't know how (if possible or needed) to turn it off. Eventually, it shuts down. Printing is top quality, and I like the speed that it kicks out each page. Size is good, fits easily in a crowded workspace. And paper is contained within the machine, not on an appendage platform in the back of the machine. Follow the setup directions that does take a little time and to enable it to print, buyer must go online and download software for it to print.
