Fantastic printer!!
Yes, I spent a little more than HP but there are so many advantages to this printer.a. you don’t have to sign up to automatic cartridge replacement subscriptionb. the printer is never dormant; if you don’t use it for days, it will stay ready and available when needed. No need to turn on the printer again and again if left unused for long periods.c. Printer is pretty sturdy, although I wish it came in white instead of blackd. Connectivity is great. Yes, it took about 30min to install but it’s well worth your time. I can print from anywhere at anytime. Install process is somewhat easy via website or via app.e. Print quality is greatI would highly recommend it

Good to Great Printer
Works well as described and looks solid even for home use. Easy to set up and all features function as they should.

print quality
It does what I want it to do. It is just noisey when it prints. So you may think something is wrong. But works well. Prints quality is good.

Be patient and down load brother software
Setup wasn’t to bad, first setup it wouldn’t find the pc to scan. Downloaded the full software package from Brother and everything started working great, includes firmware updates also. Scans to pc and even turns it into a pdf from Firefox browser, also hooks up to phones and prints from them.

Sleek compact design
I purchased Model MFC-J1170DW and right out of the box the printer was super easy to setup. I haven’t printed much on it so far, but it prints quickly and has good print quality. I really like how everything is compact and tucked away. For example the printer paper is in a compartment at the bottom of the printer, similar to larger printers, and isn’t out in the open collecting dust or taking up space on the table like my previous printer. So far, very happy with the quality.

Newer doesn’t mean better, comparison to older Brother printer
One star does not mean this is a bad printer but to point out that newer versions of products, not just this one, are lower quality with higher prices. I’ve never spent more than about $100 on a printer. This one was about 160. Compared to my previous brother printer (J870DW) this one prints slower- 17 ppm compared to 33ppm. (I would have to spend about $300 for a printer that is the same speed as the old one). This one will not import scanned images into my graphic design program. And the build quality on this printer is much less substantial- plastic components are about 1/2 as think in their construction. See picture to compare paper trays- 1170DW on the right which is flimsy with no adjustments for small pages sizes like the older one. I think Brother printers are the best on the market- however like everything else- quality has suffered while prices have gone up.

My favorite brand.
This is the best printer I have owned. Easy to use and priced reasonably. Printing is fast and like how the ink lasts for many copies. No problems with anything.

PRINTER READY
Really like this printer. My previous printer took forever to come on and get ready to print. This o e is ready right when it’s turned on. I have not printed a photo yet. But I have printed it. Color and it looked great just on plain paper Very easy set up. Easy to use, very easy to replace ink. Easy access if paper jam ( helpful tip; do not over fill the paper tray).

Bought this one a year ago. I have no complaints about this printer, it works fast and print quality is good.

Me llegó con muchos detalles de maltrato como se puede ver en las fotos, sin cintas de embalajes, sin plástico protector en la pantalla, sin tapones de seguridad en dónde van los cables. En dónde escanea estaba un poco tallado de la parte de apoyo. Supongo que porque la compré con descuento. No la devolví porque realmente la necesitaba, al principio se trababa y me aparecía que tenía atascon, la revisaba y seguía con el mismo problema, hasta que la voltie y vi que en el riel había un tapón anaranjado de una entrada de cable. Sin contar todo lo anterior funciona perfecto, más rápida que la que tenía, imprime perfecto a doble cara, la calidad de las copias y escaneo tu las eliges, la pantalla touch es genial. Lo malo es el material de dicha pantalla es muy sensillo. La tinta de los cartuchos que vienen en la caja me alcanzó para muchas impresiones y copias. Si no hubiera sido por los detalles con lo que llegó yo le pondría 5 estrellas, realmente vale la pena.

Falta de cartuchos en mexico
Elaine –
Great value!! I’ve recommended it to many people.

No hay cartuchos a la venta y sin tinta se vuelve solo una basura porque ni escanear se puede. Sólo tiré mi dinero a la basura.
