Win 7-64...Look Elsewhere

 

Save yourself the hassle and look elsewhere...unless you really don't value your time.

Decent printer

 

Really good printer for everyday home/office use.

Brother MFC-J425w

 

It looks good on the desk, no complaints.

Finally somebody got it right!

still never found a great multifunction machine...

 

About my fifth printer/ multifunction machine in 10 years. The others have ended up smashed to bits on the driveway. Finality! This is a +complicated machine but if I spend +time with it, it eventually does what I purchased it to do. Ink cartridges...

Good print quality.

 

I would have liked a separate inlet for envelopes. Running envelopes out of paper tray is a bit of a hassle. Otherwise it performs well.

Nice Printer

 

Surprised at how fast it prints.

Easy setup. A caveman can do it. Excellent scanning Paperport software ; Easy to set up an adhock network. An like every printer I've had from Brother, it just works
