Brother MFC-J4335DW INKvestment Tank All-in-One Printer with Duplex and Wireless Printing Plus Up to 1-Year of Ink in-Box, Works with Alexa

This printer arrived right on schedule. Setup was easy, the downloads were easy, it synched immediately and wirelessly with Starlink, printed out excellent test sheets and now stands ready for use at 1/3 the cost or the one I bought that had similar capabilities but didn't work at all, so I had to return it. This one has huge ink cartridges that are very quick and easy to use (no bottles of ink!), holds a hefty amount of paper which is very easy to load, color quality appears to be excellent, which is important to me as an artist, and durability is yet to be determined, since I got it set up only yesterday. Knock on wood, but I think I'm really going to love it.

The speed of this printer is unreal. It prints on both sides of one page printing in less time than most other printers take to print for one side one page only. Also print time is quick when you hit the print button, it prints right away.I noticed my Canon would take a minute to print, to even start printing and got slower and slower over time.The real difference of this Brother printer from other printers is night and day. Its like going from a Yugo car to a Lamborghini race car.The quality of the software bundled with this printer is excellent, it even resizes email pages for you and properly makes page fonts bigger zoomed in, the software resizes everything to fit in the printable area. With Canon this was not available. Also Canon ink tank system failed on color, only black would print. No matter how much cleaning. Canon printer failed in one year time. Brand new Canon never worked right.We'll see how long this printer lasts, but it already sounds much stronger and faster in scanning, printing and setup time to connect to WIFI. Doesnt have the issues during operation. It works smoothly, and Not slow at all.Warning your WIFI router may need to be rebooted in order to recognize this printer on your wireless network setup on app, for your WIFI. Any computer, phone and tablet can print out stuff if you have the Brother app.I could never get the Canon WIFI network printer to work. And I have been a computer programmer for decades. Brother was a little tuff to setup on WIFI only because my router needed resetting to recognize the new Brother printer. But once you set this up it works flawlessly. Unlike other printers.

Update: I've only had this printer for 8 months and it is a useless piece of junk. I've spent hours on the phone with Brother support, wasted gallons of ink "cleaning" it, and the print quality only gets worse and worse. I'm done with this thing and never buying another Brother product. This is ridiculous. My next step is to compel Brother to honor their warranty.After 12 years of hard service and expensive ink, I retired my HP printer and tried this Brother. Here are my first impressions:The Misses:1. I hate the 1980s grey plastic design. It looks like crap on my desk, particularly since all the rest of my computing equipment is black, but I was buying for functionality, not style, I guess.2. I have postage stamps that are bigger than the LED display on this thing. It's not easy to see and you have to scroll down to see some of the messages the machine is providing.3. The set up is kind of clunky and involved compared to other printers. Some set up is done on the machine, other parts are done by going to the Brother website where you have to figure out where to go to download the drivers. I was looking for something on the website home page that said "set up your printer here", but instead you have to hunt around.4. During the set up process, it asks to download several ancillary services. These are not well explained, and I may have inadvertently downloaded annoying bloatware. We'll find out.5. If you are considering printing photos with this machine, just stop and move on to something else. My HP was far better. The photos are crisp, but the Brother interprets certain colors in bizarre ways. For example, white tents are rendered in light blue. Looks very strange compared to the actual photo.6. The power cord on this is ridiculously short compared to my HP, and I pretty much had to change my entire desk set up to stretch the cord far enough to reach my power strip.7. It wouldn't kill Brother to give you a printer cord if you want a wired connection. Fortunately, I was able to reuse my HP cord THAT CAME WITH THE MACHINE.The Hits:1. Printing a standard page of text with an illustration or two is lightning fast. I've never seen an inkjet as fast as this.2. Standard printed text is very sharp.3. It's more compact than my old HP All in One, mostly because the paper tray doesn't stick out an extra 5 inches on the side.4. It is much quieter than the HP, which would go through a lot of noisy gyrations just get itself prepared to print.I'm not sure I did the right thing in buying this printer. I wanted to be thrilled, but so far I am not.
