The printer is well laid out for the amount of functionality you get. The ability to print up to ledger size, and print on thick stock without paper jams is stellar. The reason I give this three stars is because when I unboxed my printer, installed the ink and fired it up, it took three attemps to get the blue ink to print on the test, and the color quality is less then stellar. I will go buy new ink cartridges and see if this helps.

Really Nice Printer

I purchased this printer to replace one that lasted over 6 years. So far I am very pleased with its performance. It prints quickly and the software is relatively easy to use. The ink use seems very efficient so far, especially using the ink save mode. The price was reasonable for the value. The only reason I took off one star is that occasionally the status monitor on my PC will indicate that the printer is offline, even though when I check the printer itself the WiFi indicator shows that it is connected and the signal is strong. When this happens and I try to print something, I will get an error message. Eventually, the job will print, but it may take up to a minute or more before it does.

This Brother Printer was chosen over plenty of Laser printers just because I need the ability to print in color......I love the speed and size of it also the scanner mode works perfectly. If I had one suggestion it would be the same printer without Fax, who faxes nowadays?

It’s ok

We bought this printer for business use and it was good initially but from the start the air print was a hassle and very frustrating no device or app can find the air printer. Every time we want to print we have to spend about 30 mins restarting sending to printer detecting and retrying. While everything else is good in this printer the air print feature which is a big deal for us was very frustrating. Will be returning and getting a different printer.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Just junked a new HP...

This J5830 works rather well for us. Quick off and on when you just need a copy. And, most of all the color covers we produce for our books print rather well. We use heavy card stock and use the hand-feed slot at the back. Works magic.
