Brother DCP-J715W review

While some photo printers enjoy slender curves and polished casing, the Brother DCP-J715W is a multifunction printer that looks a little, well, functional.

The Brother DCP-J715W isn’t a great printer in terms of quality. It has middling times, requiring 26 seconds and a minute 12 for standard and best quality modes respectively. However, the colours are washed out in both modes, with few details being...

Brother DCP-J715W review

Brother's DCP-J715W is a little more office orientated than most MFPs we see. While it doesn't have a fax, the scanner can be used as a regular flatbed, or for making bulk copies thanks to its automatic document feeder (ADF). Despite this, Brother...

Brother - DCP-J715W

There has to be almost as many new printers appearing on the market on a monthly basis as digital cameras. All of this is good news for the consumer who wants plenty of choice when finding ...

Lots of little problems

I'd say I get about a 50% success rate of printing, scanning or copying on this printer. Lately it's chosen not to respond when I try and copy or scan things. It regularly jams and prints things off crookedly on the paper. When it does work...

Easy and cheap to use on compatible inks

Not the best quality and colour, hence only 4 stars, but pefectly acceptable for everyday use. It goes through a fair amount of ink but compatibles can be not much over £1 per cartridge which makes it very cheap to run. Once set up for wifi (not too...

Rating more for seller than anything.

I am very impressed with the seller, I very rarely write reviews but I feel like i have to write this one. The seller took care to contact me directly and the response was always prompt and made me feel safe that my product will arrive quickly.

I have found this Brother DCP-J791W much better than the one I have binned HP Printer

This Brother (DCP-J791W) Printer has replaced the HP Printer 309g all-in one, (that cartridges cost between £75-£85), I have replaced HP Cartridges 3 times already, and it is only used occasionally, I bought the HP printer in November 2010,about eleven...
