LOVE IT SO FAR

WE PURCHASED 2 BROTHER MFC-L8900CDW PRINTERS LAST MONTH TO REPLACE THE HP PRINTERS WE WERE USING, AND I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH THE SWITCH. THE PRINTER WORKS WELL, HAS A LARGE PAPER TRAY AND WORKS WELL WITH OUR BUSINESS NEEDS.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good features - very slow first page

Scanning functions quickly and well. I have tested the scanner in duplex mode and is one of the functions that I like. Scanning to email directly functions well. Copying works well including the duplex to duplex, enlarging and reducing functions.
I also have a HP CP2025DN color laser printer. I compared several color printouts between the two printers. Text printout in color is very comparable. Color pictures from the internet (IE: downloaded printer quality photos) are very similar with a very slight edge to the HP printer.

There are two areas that I dislike about this Brother printer.
First is the time it takes to produce the first page of printout. It is very slow even in comparison to my old printer.

Second is the need to change levers on the back of the printer to print envelopes. Because of this it is much more convenient to print envelopes to my old printer.
I would not recommend this printer in a business environment. It is a good printer for a home office if you are patient while waiting for the first page to print and infrequently print envelopes.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good Product

The features are great (the only downside is how it crinkles the envelopes when those are printed). Overall, I am happy with the machine & it serves its purpose for what we need in a small office.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good printing quality! but slow and finicky

The quality is good for a multi-printer, but there are some cons:
1. Very slow to react for printing, very slow to print. It stalls after every 10 pages or so.
2. HORRIBLE wrinkles on envelope printing (you need to insert the envelope thru the back (!) and select envelope printing for a slightly better but still wrinkled envelope),
3. It does not print on small paper, I have 6"X 6" labels, that this printer cannot print to. .
4. Very loud, it sounds like a grinding motion, like its about to break but it doesn't.
5. Ink runs out very fast, high yield tones (6500) only last to 90% if you are using low quality draft printing.
6.HORRIBLE ink smell after printing 50 or so pages, so only use in very well ventilated areas.We do our heavy duty printing after hours to avoid headaches.
Please Brother place your demo printers in actual offices with actual work load to compare to other brands, to access the real benefits.

Better than expected

Really pretty good machine. Does everything well. Two comments. 1) Why can't a printer manufacturer make a paper tray to hold an entire ream of paper at this price point? This goes for all of printer manufacturers. 2) A bit annoying that it seems to "think" mid-print job and not just spit out the entire print job at once. Otherwise, exceeds expectations.

Brother products are great

I have been using brother printers at home and at work for years. I am a medical practice manager and I use my printer to death, faxing also. I love the paper feed in the front for switching out from one type of paper to another without having to remove the paper tray. It has a lot of very nice features, and I am very glad it went back to more buttons instead of that touchscreen. Much prefer buttons to touch screen.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wonderful printer with all the features!

We love our new printer...it's easy to use (user-friendly), it scans, faxes, copies and does everything we need for our small office. The ink cartridges are easy to replace and any time I've had an issue, the customer service is super helpful. This is a great quality printer.
