Somewhat Disappointed

I bought this to replace my Canon Pixma IP 4200 that would print 2.75" wide x 6" long single checks and 3.75" wide x 3" long single place cards. MFC-J5845DW feed jams everytime. Other than that, it works fine.

This is my second "Brother" printer, I tell friends, people I see shopping for a printer, you should get a brother printer, your life, printer life will be better. Why not buy the best and you won't have to buy another printer every two years like what had happen to me. A brother printer is the best in the world.

A Pleasure to use

It has many good features. Year of ink supply was a good selling point. The printer was a little bigger than I wanted, but I compromised and am I glad I did. The color is very vibrant. The print is clear copies come out the way they should.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. We have LOVED this Brother Inkjet printer!!! It can handle a large capacity, is quiet,and is compact enough and wireless that it doesn`t need to be out- so office stays uncluttered! Adore that the ink lasts a year, the scanner and copier resolution comes out very clear. The whole setup is easy and the printer is VERY user friendly!!! A MUST for any office!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Printer with WiFi connection

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. This printer was super easy to assemble and install. The ink was easy to install, although I wish the paperwork had suggested to shake the cartridges in the package before opening. I got some ink splash. The printer calibrated quickly and with no issues. Once connected to my WiFi and apps installed, I could print from any computer or electronic device without any issues. The print was vibrant and accurate.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Sturdy Easy-to-Use Home Office Printer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. To start, this printer is super simple to unbox and set up. I gave a cursory glance to the Quick Setup Guide, which seemed to be pretty clearly illustrated, but it honestly wasn`t even necessary. The printer is fully assembled and only requires loading paper and ink cartridges (included). I connected the printer to my wireless network and was able to AirPrint from my iPhone about 8 minutes after unpacking the printer. To print wirelessly from my Mac, it was necessary to download the Brother software from their website, which was also a simple process. Since our other printer has broken, I had a lot of documents lined up to print. I set up print jobs in rapid succession and this Brother printer had no problem moving from one job to the next fairly seamlessly. The large paper tray was able to hold enough paper to get the job done, and I haven`t experienced any paper jams *yet* which were a frequent occurence on my old printer when I`d have print jobs in queue. The scan and copy processes are both equally painless and I`m especially happy that after quickly adding my e-mail account, this wireless printer can have those documents in my inbox in seconds. As far as print quality goes, this printer is a pretty standard home office printer. Greyscale documents produce pretty crisp text and do not waste expensive inks. The printer has decent color output with relatively little pixelation, as long as you are printing appropriately-sized images. However, I did notice that the colors don`t seem to be as true as on my previous printer. This is somewhat expected from a primarily business-use printer, but definitely of note if your home or business needs include a lot of graphics where color integrity is important. (For reference, an image I printed with Pantone yellow variations in the 380s/390s came out looking exactly like the printer simply spat out yellow directly from the tank, with absolutely no cyan detection.)Some other features that I like are the automatic document feeder, paper trays that can accommodate various paper sizes, up to 11" x 17", and the Page Gauge feature that estimates the number of remaining page prints left for each color in the printer`s internal storage tank. I`m not sure if this will prevent me from starting a color document that will end up wonky in the last few pages, but thus far it`s been interesting to note the data after each large color print I make. I also like that the printer automatically prints dual-sided, since that`s the setting I use most often. However, I did forget this once when printing a pretty large document where the first page should have been a single-sided intro, so the formatting for the entire thing was wrong. Definitely something I`ll have to remember to double-check.Some cons: I`m a little on the fence about ink replenishment programs anyway, but if I did want to try it out, this Brother model was not listed in the affiliate ink-replenishment programs when I searched. Also, this printer is pretty bulky. It definitely does not fit in the footprint of my old printer in my current business center set-up. Instead, it is sitting squarely in the middle of my work table, which has to be the shortest of short-term solutions. Definitely note the dimensions of this printer and make sure your table or cabinet has the space to support it comfortably. And, of course, the color integrity issue I noted above.Overall, this is a pretty good office printer. I`m pleased with the turnout so far after replacing what was a pretty well-loved little workhorse.
I would recommend this to a friend!
