Ink Lasts

Pay more for the printer. Pay much less for the ink. The paper tray doesn't hold very much. The auto feeder for the originals holds quite a few. It jams easily if paper isn't flat. Clears jams easily

I like it.

wireless works great. Still cannot scan using the machine panel. Don't know why that is, but scanning from Computer Brother Control Center works (after I figured out how to get there).

Works effortlessly.

This is my second Brother printer. Excellent value, very reliable. Small footprint, big worker. Quiet and it was easy to set up with my MacBook laptop, Iphone and Ipad. Love having copy and scan along with the printing.

Slow but steady

Decent printer

I'm satisfied with the prints, but printing double sided is painfully slow. Ink prices are high, but unfortunately that's the norm standard. You could almost buy a new printer for the cost of replacing all the ink cartridges at once.

Started with Brother-never should have strayed

About 30 years ago I bought and loved a Brother Word Processor. Beautiful machine. Have since gotten into computers and two printers-neither a Brother. Now I'm VERY happy with my Brother J985 DW printer

It works. Usually.

The print quality isn't the best and it only prints if it's been turned off and I turn it on right before I want to print a document. If I leave it on 24/7, I get error messages when I try to print.

Great printer

Love this printer, it's an all in one. Very fast, easy set up, prints good quality. I also like that it is not very bulky. The printer I had before always gave us technical issues but this one prints with no issues every time.

Fast scanning and printing.

I brought this all in one printer to replace my hp. I love the features and the speed. Documents come out crisp and clear. I'm still trying to work out the kinks when printing photos but overall very happy with this printer.

Easy to set up and use wireless printer

I use this printer at home. It was super easy to set up and easy to use. Paper tray is easy to remove, reload and re-insert. Haven't had it long enough to comment on reliability or cost/page.
