Brother MFC-J5845DWXL Extended Print INKvestment Tank Color Inkjet All-in-One Wireless Printer

I have an older Brother, MFC-6490CW, which has an 11x17 scanner too, plus better paper handling, but the ink is relatively expensive, so I haven't used it as an everyday printer. I also bought an Epson ET-4760 tank printer for my wife's office, which has the lowest ink cost, BUT it does not print with the quality of this Brother MFC-5845DW, nor the print handling, quality build or 11x17 print capability like this one. I am not sure how the ink will last and cost out, but I know it will be a lower cost than my older Brother and the quality is nice, plus it prints fast, so it is my default printer in my office now. It is not a photo printer, although the photos aren't too bad.

I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. The Brother MFC-J5845DW XL Inkjet is a great printer!Set up was very easy. The printer cartridges install easily, and the printer has a screen that walks you through steps necessary for set up and all the various functions. The buttons on the screen, however, are sometimes small and hard to choose accurately.Being able to scan to directly to my Google Drive, is a really nice feature. I love that I can also print from my Google Drive for DOC, JPGs, and PDF file types, directly from the printer screen. You can also scan and send to mobile device by scanning a QR code. I love that feature. You can also upload directly to Drop Box, send to emails, and fax.Photo quality color prints are printed very fast. I made copies from a document that I printed. Copies are made fast, but colors are faded slightly from the original.All-in-all, this is a great machine. I`d recommend it for families, for an in-home office, or small business.
