Brother MFC-J280w

 

The MFC-J280w can print, copy, scan, and fax. It lets you fax either from your computer (PC Fax), or standalone faxing without needing a computer. However, it lacks an automatic document feeder (ADF) for unattended copying, scanning, or faxing of...

Fast at business printing. PC Fax. Computer-free faxing. Low claimed cost per page

Slightly sub-par text and photos. Lacks port for USB thumb drive as well as memory-card reader. No automatic document feeder (ADF). No auto-duplexer

The Brother MFC-J280w is fast for a budget MFP, and has a feature set geared to the home or micro office.

Great Value

 

I never had a Brother printer until 4 years ago. Since then, I have had 3. I find them very reliable and good value. I just got this one and it was easier than any to set up and I like the touch screen.

Great Value Printer

 

If you are looking for the most bang for your buck on a printer for home use, this is it. Easy set up and great performance. Whenever I need a new printer in the future I will look at Brother products first.

gave it as a Christmas gift to my sister but doesn't have starter ink in it so I will have to wait to buy the ink for my sister so she will be able to use it. Hopefully the LC 75 inks will work. Let you know if it will work or not. Otherwise will have...

Works great!

 

I've owned several Brother printers in the past, all have worked flawlessly. This one was purchased to replace my mother's dinosaur printer. Bought it on Black Friday, couldn't go wrong for the sale price. My only regret is that I didn't buy another...

Very Nice

 

This printer is everything that you should expect from one in the this price category. It lacks some features like a document feeder and the paper tray and paper output are a little awkward, but it is by far the best printer I have used that was under...
