Brother INKvestment MFC-J1365DW Wireless Color All-In-One Inkjet Printer – Fast Print, Copy & Scan with High-Yield Ink Included

The printer came from Brother direction. The printer also came with a full set of new cartridges. It is replacing a previous brother printer and this one is much lighter in size. I love the scanner functionality. The printing is fast and not noisy at all. Installation took a bit as it is fully based on the app but not too cumbersome. One thing of note as the first pages did not print anything. I had to run the deep head cleaning (from the app) atleast 3-4 times before all the colors came back to life. No issues since then.

Ill be honest, last few years I had some bad luck with printer. So I was nervous at first. But let me tell you, I was able to print so many things. Not once did it tell me it was jammed, or print the document in a small format, or run out of ink quickly. It was easy to set up, on my desk stop and phone. Both are very easy to use, and no problems doing what I need. I absolutely love this printer and couldnt be happier.

I purchased the Brother MFC-J1205W INKvestment Tank printer, and it works really well. The setup was easy, and connecting it to Wi-Fi was straightforward. It prints, scans, and copies efficiently, making it a convenient all-in-one solution for home or small office use. The ink lasts a long time — the included supply is advertised for up to a year, which is impressive and very cost-effective. Print quality is sharp and vibrant for both documents and photos. The compact design and white color look clean and fit nicely in my workspace. Overall, this is a reliable, high-quality printer with excellent performance and long-lasting ink. I’m very satisfied and would definitely recommend it.

Excellent customer service ("CS") is so essential when purchasing items. For this purchase, the ink cartridges were so low I wasn't able to print. When I contacted Amazon, the only solution they offered was to pack it up and return it for a refund or replacement. As a little old lady with health issues, just setting up the printer was a monumental feat. All I wanted was to return the ink cartridges for replacement. Brother CS came to my rescue when I contacted, and explained my predicament! Their response was quick, and within a few days they shipped new ink cartridges at no cost to me! The CS agent also said they recommend people with issues such as mine contact them directly, which will enable them to provide needed support, and to track issues such as mine. I inquired if my warranty would be voided since the machine might have been used. The agent's response was that my warranty would be effective from the date of my purchase. Other than the ink cartridges, the printer appeared to be in mint condition, just like a brand new printer. Phew! No packing up, returning, getting a different printer, and setting the new one up. As soon as my ink cartridges arrive, I will be testing it thoroughly with all the different holiday crafting and Christmas present projects I have lined up and ready to go. I will repost an updated report once I have completed those projects. If you're looking for a printer with outstanding CS, Brother definitely is an excellent option. Note: I contacted Brother directly using the app installed during the printer set up.

I can only give it four stars because the setup was a mess. I did get it working, but it was so not intuitive. I spent a career as a computer professional, and many years doing desktop support. I'm not exactly a novice. I was installing on a MAC and sometimes the support for MACs just isn't stellar. Sometimes I was flying by the seat of my pants with years of experience. I did, however, get it working :). The quick guide is kinda sparse. Too sparse. It says "now install the ink cartridges" which is mostly intuitive only they did not tell me if I needed to remove the tape from the cartridge first. I did and I still don't know If it was what I was supposed to do. And no clue how to turn the thing off ... really, nothing in the instructions on how to turn it off. I printed a test page of something that has intensive colors and detailed graphics (a geological thin section in XP view). It took FOREVER to print, but I guess that is ok. It was really color intensive. I hid under the table half the time looking for the X-wing fighters. It seriously sounded like a full on Star Wars assault on the battle star. Pew, Pew, Pew ... no kidding. I'm ok with that, just thought it was interesting. I was amused. Having said all that I'd probably buy it again. My comments are 1) hey, it's a 99 dollar color printer. I can do without the multi-function stuff as I have other devices. It will meet my needs. I don't need fast, I just need reasonable color resolution, 2) It was cheap :) If you are considering this (or any other color inkjet for laser) for your primary printer - just don't do it. That is a bit of free professional advice. The consumables will break the bank. You just can't feed a color printer of any description as a primary printer and come ahead. It will eat your pocketbook. And it's slow as molasses. 3) read carefully before you buy. Way too many companies now want to snag you into that subscription thing. You have got pay them to keep the thing working. Great business model for them, not so great for you. And don't buy a service agreement ..... serious money maker for companies. If it works out of the box, it will likely work for years. That goes for cars as well, but that is another story for another time 5) Brother is a great company and makes great printers as does Canon. You get a lot of bang for your buck for ninety-nine bucks. Just don't buy it as your only printer. OK, off my soapbox. Sorry for the rant. Chose wisely.

I bought this Brother Printer after another Brand updated and then would not recognize the INK Cartridge. I was really aggravated, it was 2 months old. This one said it came with a years supply of INK. Well I'm here to say I've been really impressed with the quality of the printer. It's just now running low on INK and we've done more printing than the average household( way More). We've had this for about 8 months and the cost of new ink is not bad. It prints from our phone, iPad , as well as the PC. It connects with the network easily, setup was a breeze, and no bigger than most other home printers. And the paper cartridge holds about half a ream of paper, meaning you don't have to be refilling it often. In short, I'm convinced this is the best home printer we've ever bought. UPDATE: it's Now September 9th 2025, we've had this printer almost a year, WE PRINT A LOT. it said we needed ink about a month and a half back, I kept printing till it stopped today. I'm really impressed. we've gone through a couple reems of paper and it just kept going. until the tanks were completely empty! Absolutely the BEST printer I've ever owned!
