Brother INKvestment MFC-J4355DW Wireless Color All-In-One Inkjet Printer – Print, Copy, Scan & Fax with High-Yield Ink & 1.8” Color Display

I've had some good printers and some bad printers over the years. This printer is definitely one of my favorites because it is easy to use, reliable and the print quality is excellent. If you are up in the air about which printer to buy I highly recommend this one by Brother.

First, this is a review of both printer and delivery by Amazon. As far as the printer, I love it! I purchased one about 6 months ago, delivered by amazon. It came in original packaging and worked perfectly straight out of the box. I love that it prints double sided automatically. Colors are bright, in class a long time and I am exploring the easy print ink renewal process. I love this printer so much that I bought a second one. That's where I am displeased. The second printer was clearly used as ink is spilling out of the sides of the printer. It was delivered in an Amazon box in packing peanuts, not in original packaging. I would highly recommend this printer but caution as to where you purchased it from. I love Amazon and I know people are scammy. So if it does not come in original packaging and you did not order a refurbished product, send it back or consider purchasing directly from Brother.

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.

I am a new owner and am only making brief observations. I like this printer greatly relative to my prior ownership of HP products for several decades. The print is sharp, the footprint of the device is compact and the setup easy. I would recommend this product with one caveat. I can't say whether this is my fault or Brother's fault. I am so familiar with computers and devices that I tend to blunder into the setup process as if it should be self evident. I got caught up into a situation where I couldn't, and the software wouldn't let me, install the device drivers. After some considerable angst, I asked for help and it was very forthcoming. The help was friendly and knowledgeable. I already had the device working, but not with the appropriate drivers. Anyway, all is good and the device, for the moment, comes with a thumbs up, especially for the support! One month later and I want to revise my review. It turns out that when I asked for support, I accidently signed up for a monthly membership in JustAnswer.com via the use of AskTech.com. While I am good at details most of the time, I will admit to being hurried frequently. I may have missed something, but regardless, I had no idea that I had signed up for a monthly membership costing $48. Expediency is my goal, and the support managed that very well, but a monthly membership is, and wasn't, my goal. Pay attention if you use this support. I may have goofed using a search or something so this may not be Brother's fault. I am not going back to try to figure it out. I remain happy with the printer and will be on the look out in the future for AskTech.com, which was helpful but expensive.

I absolutely love my printer. I highly recommend for anyone who is not necessarily "tech Savvy" but needs something that works easy, fast, and well. The price is definitely well worth the quality you receive from the printer. Don't listen to the reviews about the ink - I have been printing tons of pictures (full color), PowerPoints for school, and documents for personal use and I still have nearly full cartridges despite having gone through a full stack of printer paper. Not only was it fairly easy to set up, but it works so nicely as a scanner, and copier. It makes my life so easy for school; I can simply scan my documents in and download as a pdf right onto my laptop wirelessly. When you're setting it up, don't be one of those angry people who gets frustrated because the printer doesn't just magically work - read the instructions, follow the prompts, and you'll be fine. My partner and I had some back and forth regarding what kind of printer to get, cheap or nice, and I am so glad I chose this one because I feel I did not need to compromise quality for price.

My two previous printers were Epson and I kept having issues with clogged ink heads which suck. I don’t think I’ve had a brother printer before but I have other brother products that have been superb so I decided to get this printer. So far it has been awesome. Very easy to set up and connect to my network, love being able to print files from whichever device I am using, and I triple love the paper tray being on the bottom and just pull it out to load tons of paper. The ink cartridges are easy to install as well. It works great with all of my Apple devices and computer. I appreciate (a whole lot) the automatic two side printing - that is a real time saver and reduces my annoyance with figuring out how to reload each page properly. The color has been fantastic with what I have printed so far with high quality printing. The documents and images are crisp and clear and easy to read. I love the features and ease of use. So far this has been my favorite printer and excellent value for my money.

I am very impressed with this all-in-one printer. It was sooo easy to set up, especially since I had been battling with an HP Photosmart 7520 for years. I almost cried tears of happiness when the set up went through properly the first try. I went to the Brother website via the included QR code, typed in the model number, then was able to download the software package with all the drivers. I have a MacBook Pro running 15.5, and installation was a breeze. I was immediately able to print both from a website and Adobe Reader with this printer as the default. I also enabled “share this printer on the network” under System Settings > Printers & Scanners. I printed a test page from my ipad and it worked great. I wanted to test the scan functionality since a lot of reviews mentioned that as a negative. I used the Print Center on my MacBook and opened the scanner from there. It took about 1 minute to scan a JPEG at 600 dpi, which is about as fast as my old HP Photosmart. No issues with the scanner from my perspective, though maybe it takes longer when using the Brother iPrint&Scan app. I also tested the copy function from the flatbed and automatic document feeder. Both methods worked well. The quality of the printing on “normal” setting isn’t super crisp, but the speed is fantastic. If you want really nice photo printing this is probably not the printer for you, but for general home purposes it is a great choice… especially for the price. Highly recommend, 5 stars!

I waited for a month or two before I reviewed this. Scans: I use scans for work and need a scanner that can easily handle multiple pages. This scans a lot of pages- which is great. I used the feeder (and I also downloaded the software from the website). I use the program to scan. It is fabulous. I scanned a 25 page document easily and saved as a pdf to my computer. This is a huge plus because many scanners don't work well with multiple pages. The output was clear and it scanned it quickly. I do have to own up to my first scan being blank as I had the pages turned the wrong way for the feeder (it scanned the backs). Maybe I was in a rush, or I read it wrong-but it took me a second try to figure that out... so if you are using the document feeder make sure you scan the documents with the pages faced in the right direction. I have an older brother at work. You can scan it directly from the printer to the laptop because it is connected via a printer cable. I didn't set that up here, so I had to use the program to do it wirelessly which was very simple (after I did it a first time- see above). It was so easy that I decided to forgo the expense of the printer cable and just use the laptop to originate the scans wirelessly. Copy: This take copies from the glass and from the document feeder. It holds a lot of pages and it copies them quickly and clearly. I was very happy with the ADF because I copy larger documents and this poses problems for many personal printers. The glass was also very easy to copy from and it is clearly marked for orientation. My former computer was a pain because it was not very clear and I had to remember to place it against the right vs. the left. Print: Love this printer, it is fast and clear. The colors are deep and the printer easily and automatically prints (wirelessly) out my papers. I usually print out documents about 20 pages so this handled that well. I didn't have to wait a long time and my ink is still at full..... Overall I am very happy with this printer. My other printer would always give me issues when I needed to print in terms of connectivity and it would take several attempts and a lot of aggravation to print a something. This printer is a blessing in that area. It automatically connects to my computer, even after I haven't used it for a week, and prints it out quietly, quickly and clearly. It is smaller than my previous printer and it is quiet. I recommend you download the software but it is a big file(s) so it takes up memory (as a programmer I watch that load of the programs). I use the program for wireless scanning, but if you are not a big scanner than you could probably avoid it. I recommend this printer. I think it has a lot of functionality for the price-most of which I do not use-- but more importantly it works as it is supposed to - when it is supposed to. That is a big change from my former Cannon- which did what it wanted, when it wanted and took forever.
