This is my 2nd brother printer. I’ve had it about 2 months now and it was very easy to set up as a wireless printer for 3 users in my house. The ink is lasting very long – which is also something I liked about my previous Brother printer (which after 6 years with me is still in use at my son’s house). Printing is quick. Overall, I am very pleased with it.

I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. This printer has a lot of features which I like.The colors were vibrant on the photographs I printed out. It has three loading trees to choose from which is great to you this way standard paper and paper for photograph paper. The ink does take longer to dry than I would like and smeared a few times

The MFC-J6945DW is bit to slow for my home office needs.

No jambs. Works as advertised. Wish it had better photo quality but no complaints did not purchase it for that.

Mostly Happy With This Printer. The only disappointment so far is there is no tray for 11×17. 11×17 is fed from rear feeder which does not hold as much paper. I got this mainly for 11×17. I just don’t like having to rely on the rear paper feeder when I have two trays. When I was searching for printers, I specifically searched for one with two trays assuming one would be 11×17.

This is my third Brother large format AIO and it replaces my current MFC-J6925DW model, which is now five (5) ears old. While I have not yet unpacked the new one I have every expectation that it will perform as well or better than the two previous ones have. This family of AIO machines is easy to like. Ink cartridges are reasonably priced and they last a long time. I use my AIO for all of the functions, i.e., printing, copying, scanning and faxing. The ability to have one paper tray for letter size paper and another for ledger size allows me to make 11 x 17 copies without the hassle of changing the paper out of one tray. No muss, no fuss. Over the past 20 years I’ve owned many printers of the various brands. For my money–and peace of mind–I rely on my Brother large format AIO to be the workhorse in my home office. I have no doubt that this new one, with all of the improvements they have made on it, to carry on that tradition–just as soon as I have depleted all of the ink in my existing one.

they did an excellent job solving a problem right out of the box, and I have had good luck with Brother machines before, so purchasing the MFC 6545 was an easy decision. Im very happy with their quality and their customer service

I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I needed a new printer for my home office and this Brother prints seems to have all the bells and whistles. I primarily use the printer to print, scan, and make copies. This printer performs just as well as any printer I`ve used in an office/copy center, but in a compact size that is perfect for my home office. It`s nice that it comes with a years worth of ink.Overall, it was easy to assemble and the Quick Start guide was clear. I had the printer up and running very quickly. It is easy to print from both my computer and my phone. The touchscreen on the printer has many options, but takes a little getting used to as it`s not as intuitive.My only complaint is when I printed address labels, the ink smeared a bit on a few of the labels. I`m not sure if it is because it`s an inkjet (versus laser), or due to my ink settings. It could be user error, but I couldn`t find a quick, easy way to fix the settings. The ink never smeared on regular paper though! It prints perfectly on regular letter paper.I have to say I love the size of this printer. It fits perfectly in the corner of my office on a low bookshelf. My favorite feature is how fast it scans document to my computer. The scanning and copy functions are efficient, easy to use, and much faster than my old printer.Based on the price point, this printer is a great option for those looking for a multi function printer for their home office. I know I`ll get a lot of use out of it.

So far the printer is fitting my needs. The auto document feeder and two sided printing work well.

Great hardware with super features. It’s a little larger due to full function 11 X 17 design and features. Software concept is good, but not mature enough for a novice user to set up unless they get lucky. I had an issue with WiFi connectivity and worked with Brother Support for hours without resolution. Finally sought help elsewhere and the issue was solved in less than a minute and one click in the router setup interface.

Great device for work projects and for projects that my kids have.

This does everything my other MFC series printers did, they are the best 11×17 printers that I can find for a reasonable price, the only thing I really hate …… and I mean hate is the printer ink cost, there is really no good reason the ink should be this costly and now they have the ink cartridges that have chips on them so you really can’t use the after-market ink and expect it to work properly. Over all I am happy with the printer but very dissatisfied with the cost of the ink! The reason for 3 stars is because I seem to be buying one of these printers about every 2 to 2 1/2 years.

This printer is perfect for my home-office needs. I recently retired and am trying to go 100% digital. I have lots of paper and the scanner is making my conversion very efficient

The printer is very fast in printing and scanning as well. Scans different sizes of papers. Scans both front and back of papers in one scan.

I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I am really happy with this printer. The print quality is excellent. I print a lot of color handouts and brochures and the color printing on this machine is top notch, although a tad slow. The quality and detail of my color prints are the best I have seen from a home office/small business printer. I love that it features the longer life print cartridges (up to a year printing). This is probably my favorite feature, as I can`t tell you how many times in the past I would be in the middle of a large printer job only to run out of ink in the middle of printing. It will also help to keep my costs of printing down. The wifi setup was seamless and has an available mobile app which allows you monitor the ink levels prior to submitting a large file for print. I have been able to easily print from my Iphone. The document feeder works well and makes scanning larger documents a breeze. Overall, this printer has all of the features I need to run my small business more efficiently. Very happy with this product!

The MFC-J6945DW is an awesome small office printer, with large format capability I have long wanted but avoided the cost for. In terms of print speed, the first page out beats every laser printer I have ever owned. While larger jobs don’t beat my lasers, I have realized most of what I print on a day to day basis is only a page or two in length, so by and large this is a time saver. It’s also many times fasted than any inkjet I have used. Text looks great, and even photos are good; especially for a printer that doesn’t claim to be a photo printer in the first place. The tabloid size print, scan and copy capability is fantastic. I am a facility planner, and can now print draft floor plans at scale without fussing with the plotter. If I want to be picky. The large machine size was a bit hard to located in my “full” office; but that was expected with the tabloid capability. And really fine line widths are wider than a decent laser achieves; but I am more likely to be sending PDFs of those graphic files than mailing a paper copy. All and all this is the best value printer, let alone MFP, that I have ever owned.

This latest addition to my hone office is actually a replacement for a previous Brother large format A-I-O machine which was almost exactly five years old. The old one in itself had replaced an even earlier version of the large format A-I-O. So I am quite familiar with Brother A-I-Os. Each generation has included improvements and the 6945 is well nigh perfect–at least so far. The redesign of the multi-purpose feed makes it much more usable–and handy. Now you can place the unit fairly close to a wall and easily use the MPF, which previously was not the case. Kudos to the designers!
