Another Excellent Machine!
on October 22, 2010
Posted by: LinuxMan
from New York, NY
I was so satisfied with the results I got with an MFC6890CDW I purchased that I went and got this one for Home use to set it up on a mixed interface network with different Operating Systems and network protocols (I have linux on my machine, my wife uses Windows and my teenage kids use Mac).
Once again the Brother machine proved to be extremely easy to set up even for my wife who is not an advanced user and the wireless connectivity works flawlessly, my children are able to print and scan wireless and even use it with the Iphone through the App Brother has developed for them.
ONCE AGAIN, GREAT PRODUCT FOR A GREAT PRICE!!!!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great product at a great price!

This machine functions well and is easy to use. Set up took about 20 minutes and I was able to hook it up completely wireless. I had never done that before and it was easy to do. I love the print quality, and the versatility of going between an envelope all the way up to an 11 x 17 piece of paper. I have recommended this to friends and have already had a friend replace his printer with this model.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Best printer I have purchased

Absolutely the best printer I have ever had. I've used HP's for years and last 3 were junk and supplies are expensive. We use this printer hard and have yet to have a problem. The 11x17 capabilities make printing our show posters cheaper and easier than taking to a print shop. We brought our design and printing in house, now we change our fliers on a per show basis. Networkable so all the computers in your office have the same great capabilities, fax, scan, print etc... We like this printer so well a couple us us have purchased for home use.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Constant hassle
on March 16, 2011
Posted by: Nickname
This printer is very fussy. It's very slow, takes forever to cancel a document, and there's always something to fiddle with when I need to print. It tells you it's low on ink when it's really not.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Excellent All-in-One Machine!

I have had this printer for over a year and am are very pleased with the performance. The computer and the printer are in separate rooms and the wireless feature works great! I prints lots of letter and legal documents every day and it is so easy to switch between paper trays on the computer screen. The scanner feature works very well for documents and pictures. The fast/normal print feature is great for printing emails...get a quality print and saves on ink. It would be nice to have a less cumbersome way to print envelopes. Overall, this is a great machine - black/white and color prints are sharp/clear. A great all-in-one machine and excellent value!
I would recommend this to a friend!

poor quality

we have spent a small fortune in transparent paper and ink for our silk screening business and this printer does not print quality and crisp pictures. 11x17 tray jams when trying to print on transparency paper. Would like a refund on this printer but customer service is not cooperating.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Biggest issue is the ink! To expensive and doesn't last long. Still having problems with printing a RANGE of pages in Word. But being able to scan 11 x 17 is a big plus. 3.5 stars out of 5 for me.

The best printer I have ever used!

I use this printer for home office and personal printing. The wireless feature works great allowing me to print from my laptop or the desktop without the hassle of cables. The dual trays are a fantastic time saver by eliminating the need to switch out types of paper. The wide format screen for scanning and printing is one of the reasons I selected this particular model. The print quality is so much better than previous printers I have owned. Overall this printer has every feature I need for my home based business and personal printing.
I would recommend this to a friend!
