Low Cost - Good Performance

 

Low Cost, Fairly Fast Printing, Ink seems to last a good amount of time, Wireless function works great, Document feeder works fine ; This loaded easily for me and the wireless connected quickly and has stayed connected ; I decided to try a Brother Ink...

After it makes a copy, it does a little shuffle of the print head that makes you wait to start the next copy. It's not a Big Deal, but it does make you wait and waste some time if you are in a hurry

Workhore Printer/Scanner/Copier

Absolutely the worst driver installation experience in a long time. Despite downloading latest version from their web site ; The install was on a clean, brand new Win7-64 build so no excuse for conflicts. Totally flakey software: just unaccepable for a...

Decent printer

 

Really good printer for everyday home/office use.

Print quality is excellent and wireless setup was easy. Very simple to use. Separate ink cartridges for each colour

Printing with Photo Paper seems to cause paper jam

Brother MFC-J425w

 

It looks good on the desk, no complaints.

Competitive pricing. Wireless set-up was very easy for both my PC and Macbook Pro. The cartridges are easy to get refilled

Does not ship with a USB cable. Not a big deal
