Bought this printer for crafting at home. It’s great as it’s wireless and it’s easy to print things from a phone or tablet. Being able to print in A3 means it’s suitable for a variety of purposes. The print quality is great and I’m realty enjoying using it.
Great machine on a relatively small footprint compared with some other A3 printers.
Works well on all modes including with an iPhone, however I still cannot directly connect to it successfully with the recommended Android App.
Needed this quickly, as older MFC J5330 dw printer given to relation whose canon printer had packed up.
Delivered in two days. So easy to set up (1/2 hr) including all driver and application updates. Very simple instructions to follow. What I like about this printer is the 250 sheet paper tray which can hold A4 or A3 paper. Very pleased with this printer and Amazon’s service.
The elephant in the room is the reliance on genuine cartridges and the costs involved, but we all know we’re getting subsidised hardware that we pay back slowly. For me, this printer is worth it.
I can’t speak to the wifi and printing from phones etc, as I have mine on a LAN. Network setup was simple. It is a little on the heavy side, but you can expect that from a printer this size.
I’ve included a couple of pics of some of the printed media bonded to some pine board for scale building construction.
In summery it’s a great printer for my needs and I would buy one again.
Excellent inkjet printer but the set of cartridges is thd same cost as ghd printer
This is crazy….
Guess time will tell but is quick compared to old one. It actually scanned 42 pages in one batch only suppose to do 35
Saving so much time from manually scanning papers one by one
No complaints here
Love this printer. Had been struggling with an HP Officejet pro for a year and it gave up the ghost due to me supposedly using non-genuine HP ink (codswallop) and it needing servicing.
So easy to set up and use. No airprint, but I can live without that. Ink is so very much cheaper than HP as well.
One word of warning I went with a bundle that included an extra set of ink (black being the extra large capacity). Needed to replace the ink today and so cracked open the extra ink that came with the printer bundle. The cartridge got jammed as they were not the correct cartridges for this particular brother printer. Luckily managed to remove it without damage to the printer. I know I should have double checked, but just assumed.
The product is fine, registered and set up ok but not yet able to redeem the cashback offer. Hours on the phone to lots of people over several days. I appear to be missing an email from Amazon with a promotion code to redeem the offer but no-one seems to be able to help me.
Finally decided to try a Brother as have thrown away many short-lived HP, Canon and Epsom’s. Ordered from Curry’s (UK) Jan 3 for Jan 4 delivery. Jan 5 and Jan 6 had 3 web chats to India I realised Curry’s is just lying to me on when it will be delivered for in-store collection. I heard anything from it’s on the van and delivering tonight to it’s being delivered between 2-3pm today which I told web chat India it was 5pm. Reminded me of furniture123.com where they don’t actually have the product in stock but sell it like they do. Amazon is reliable (much like Costco and John Lewis) and got it in 2 days.
I found this printer very easy to install. The only trouble was finding the password which like our wifi hubs it’s on the back of the printer which the instructions didn’t indicate. Print quality is great so far. And wow this prints faster than any other home printer I’ve had before.
Fingers crossed this lasts more than a few years unlike the predecessors which seem to be just throw-aways.
With Windiws just scan to your network to add printer unless you download the zip file to manually do this via Brother.
It’s quite straight forward & this is our 3rd Brother in 20 years & reliable as ever. Previous one was 9 years old & we bought from the warehouse too.
I won’t list all the features that the printer possesses – they’re all in the product description — but the ones that stand out for me are:
The rear feed which is very accessible and handles anything from envelopes, 6″x4″ glossy print paper up to A3.
The two paper drawers which save messing about when I switch from cheap, everyday paper to quality colour print paper.
The fact that it has automatic 2-sided printing and scanning. The latter feature is great if you want to save old documents on a drive rather than in a box file. You just put the pile of documents into the very smooth automatic feeder and get a digital copy of both sides saved as separated pages in the right order. The supplied software that handles this includes outputs in pdf, png, and OCR formats.
I belong to a club for which I produce an occasional newsletter. I design this in Publisher on A4 pages then tell the printer to turn into an 8 page A5 colour booklet. The first time I did this it was accompanied by a bit of swearing before all the pages were correctly ordered and orientated but having saved the print instructions I’ve used the same ones year in year out and just sit by while the printer churns out the required copies.
Setting up the new printer was just as easy as for the old one. There is a decent screen which tells you what to do initially and also shows what to do if there is a (rare) paper jam. Connection to WiFi happened very simply once iI entered the router password.
If the printer has a fault for home-office use it is that is quite large and heavy so you need to be sure you have somewhere to put it and also allow up to an extra 6″ or so for the rear feed which angles out from the back when in use.
In summary, this is a great workhorse for small businesses or the more demanding home user.
