Brother MFC-J6555DW INKvestment Tank Color Inkjet All-in-One Printer with up to 1 Year of Ink in-box1 and 11” x 17” Print, Copy, scan, and fax Capabilities,White

This is a good printer for the price that prints, copy's, scans and faxes sheets up to 11" x 17". I use it for Cad drawings and the print quality is good in both black and color. It prints pretty fast. It was easy to install on my wireless network and the app is easy to use.

It is a great printer, so far, but have only had it about a month. Very easy to setup, no issues, very fast printing, copying, scanning. I like it well!

Today we sent a pdf color file to the printer and it came out at lightning speed and nice print and color quality. It was totally unbelievable how instant it was. This printer is really worth the money.

Negatives: I wanted to be happy with this product. When I got the printer I opened the torn box and lifted the printer out. There were several empty plastic bags plus the protective plastic bag the machine was supposed to be inside of at the bottom of the box. The cartridges were already installed and I had no instructions plus there was no telephone cable. Nothing I received was factory packaged. Because I needed a printed I decided to setup this machine using the downloads on the Brother support website. When I attempted to set it up I kept getting an error message. After multiple attempts to get it to setup I gave up. I did my best to repackage the machine with a used plastic protective bag, taped the torn box as best I could. Contacted Amazon for a refund and return. 1. Amazon shouldn't sell used machines as new. 2. If they are going to sell used machines the machine should be sent to a professional refurbisher, fully tested for functionality and include all new cartridges and guides. 3. I don't know if Brother would honor a warranty on a used machine even if I could have made it work I bought a different Brother printer from a local office supply store. Had a totally positive experience. It was brand new, factory packaged, with all guides and setup instructions and works exactly as expected. Positives: If the machine was new and worked like the one I bought locally it: 1. Had a great menu size and the menu is easy to understand and use. 2. If it prints as well as the printer I bought locally the print quality is very good. 3. If it was a new machine and included the setup guide it would have been easy to setup. One last thing. This printer is big and heavy. If you are elderly and lack physical strength you'll need to have someone assist you in removing it from the box and carrying it to where you need it.

This printer is a work horse. It brings a lot of value for the money. I received this printer just over on month ago and it is running great. Many people ask about ink longevity. I will say this desktop inkjet has more ink in the starter packs then I've see in any previous desktop inkjet. I've not use the other competitors high capacity inkjets, so I cannot tell you how this compares to those. However, I can give real numbers. At the time I replaced the first starter tank (black) I had 3,010 prints through the machine. 2,871 were b&w. Most of these had an average of about 10% ink coverage. A lot of space was left for notes on the prints. I was not expecting the starter black tank to last that long. Currently at just past a month of use, the machine has 5,759 prints through it. 217 of those were color. So I've not yet replaced the color starter tanks. Pros Fairly fast for an inkjet. Even on double sided. I've included a video. The video shows prints in the normal mode, not draft. High modes slows it down a good bit. Prints are dry, don't smudge. Can even handle some water contact. Large print and scan ability. Up to 11" x 17". Great touchscreen. Very responsive. Prints are decent. Not laser quality. Being inkjet your limited in stock options. I've got production laser machines to cover both of those issues. Great web interface to setup presets for scans and retrieve usage data. The usage reports the average ink coverage per color. The machine has an internal sub-tank with it's own level indicated. I've not tried swapping tanks while running, but that is what my production machines can do. I'm hoping for the same here. Estimated ink levels can report the page count based on industry standard ISO coverage or previous usage. The previous usage should be much more accurate. We'll see. Bypass tray works well. Cons Scanner only does single sided. The next model up comes with a scanner that will handle double sided scans. Smaller paper tray. With the ink capacity and speed. I think a larger tray would have been better. Something that would hold a standard ream (500 sheets) would have been good. The next model up has two trays of this capacity. The printer driver has limited paper stock options. I've only used the default driver thus far. I'll got back and look for a better driver to yield more options. Other settings seem to be adequate. Especially for a home printer. I've not had a jam, but an internal jam could be difficult to remove. All in all a great printer for the money. For those who said the prints were washed out, this has not been an issue for me. i do load better stock than most. Though on some shipping labels stock, the ink was a little muted. This was resolved with some adjustments to the print settings and saving those settings as profile for those labels. I would recommend this printer.

This is my third Brother printer, the first color printer. It’s the best home color printer I’ve ever owned. The ink lasts forever. The cartridges are simple to install and easy to track. As a teacher, I often need to print color photos. This printer is fast and photo-quality. My wife was skeptical at first about this model. But after using it herself, she’s a believer. I see this baby as a fine instrument!
