This is my first Brother printer and always had HP printers. I do a lot of scanning of pictures and found the scan quality is not that good. I did a comparison of my HP scanner and found the pictures I scanned on the Brother are not as sharp compared to the HP. I also found the overall picture is worst than the actual photo I scanned. I tried scanning at higher DPI and didn't help. I tried using SW to improve the photo which helped a little but it still had the fundamental problem of sharpness. I also compared the printing and the color was less vivid compared to the HP. So you know who is writing this review...My background is engineering and I had previously worked in the graphics Industry.

Brother Multifunction Printer J6520DW

For basic printing and copying of text documents, this machine works great!
Otherwise, I am very disappointed in the quality of the printed material that comes out of this machine. The colors do not match as they should. Some colors aren't even close to what they are supposed to be. Brother has confirmed this to be beyond the limitations of their machine.
This will be my first and LAST Brother printer.
The best part about this printer is it's fax mechanism. It works well!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Brother makes the BEST

When searching for a new printer, don't buy it for the price of the printer but by the cost of the ink. A hint some wise person once gave me and it is 100% true. Brother makes the most reliable printers. This is out 4th. The ink costs are at least half of the BIG name printers inks. Brother's technical and customer service is unmatched. I don't know where they get these people but YEAH!!!

been using this printer in our small office for about three weeks now. very fast, good quality, large paper tray, touch screen could be bigger, alot of times you have to touch the screen twice to get it to work. My main issue, needs a bigger touch screen. over all, very good.

I use the MFC-J6520DW for a peer mentorship program designed to address achievement disparities in high school. I put out a legal size newsletter in color, can print two-sided as easily as one sided. I make 11 by 17 posters. Print quality is consistently excellent. It's an easy machine to use. I can switch paper sizes in a matter of seconds. It fits my purposes beautifully.

First install

The product work well, was a little hard to install and needed tech help but they were very good and made sure I was all set before they hung up. After install there have been no problems and the interface works great and does not hang up as HP does.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Smaller, quicker, and better

This All-in-one replaces a 6710 that failed after 4 years of service. It still handles 11 x 17 inch paper, but only thru the rear port, not in a tray. Setup was via Support to work with Apple Yosemite, and the person was officious but expert and went without a hitch. The new machine handles scan to Email easily, much better that previous software. The new touch screen it simpler and much easier to work with, quite intuitive. So far color copies are not very bright or professional, but we'll see as time goes on. It mates with our WIFI easily, and has a smaller footprint which is nice. It's light grey color has grown on us. Altogether, a good machine.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Wish I could say more positives but cant

I have used many many all in one printers. I have had continuous problems with scanning. I have reloaded software myself; have had support download software again and scanning function on printer works once or twice and then says can not connect. Faxing is better but also not totally reliable. Disconnecting electric and reconnecting does seem to help with that. Sorry I cant say more positive. It does print and copy ok.
