I either use this printer for very small jobs (like a one-page form), or big printing jobs like printing 67 pages of a magazine proof that I'm working on, or a book proof (that has photos). I'm not printing a final product, so I don't need it to be super-high quality. I just need a printout so I can proofread. This is perfect for that. I haven't had to change the cartridges yet, so it does seem to get a lot of printing out of its cartridges. I like that it does double-sided printing without much effort. It turns the pages over automatically; you don't have to gather them up and re-feed them to get double-sided printing.
I haven't (and probably won't) set up the fax, but it does have one. I just can't speak about it.
I do use it for copying, and it does a fine job with that.
Too bad it has to go into the landfill because it’s still a great looking product.
For the two days I had the printer it was easy to set up, and printed quickly and smoothly thus the reason for the five stars. But no duplex scanning is a deal killer, and back it goes.
First photo print that came out was a shocker! Instead of a sharp pink it came out dull with more tan hews. Tried several other photos. Some colors better than others. Though much of the time not only where all photos dull, washed out but color completely wrong. Example, part of the photo that should have been green ended up more tan. Some shadows appeared redish, and human faces red blotchy. Spent the entire time on-line support and using the printer color adjustments. You have an option to choose from vivid or natural, print copies look exactly the same. No matter how we adjusted the color none of the prints showed the correct colors. Found the printer color adjustment difficult to use as it puts up a display photo so you can see how your adjustments are altering the photo, but it really is hard to see any changes. So I just went with it and tried various adjustments. After spending hours making adjustment color quality never improved.
Adding a sample in my pic. One on top is the Brother the one on bottom is an older HP. Both set to normal. As far as the DPI they both do an amazing job, but you can see the Brother just can't get the colors even close.
In addition two sided printing, several attempts failed. It never drew the paper back, only started a new page. So disappointed, really loved the design.
