I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. Overall I`m really impressed with the quality of this printer. Our old one had recently given out and with all our printing needs and home office neccesities we had to get something new immediately. All in all this machine is so user friendly that set up and use were literally a breeze.Set up: You`ll find the quick start guide on top of the machine as soon as you open the box and from there following the set up steps were so easy the machine practically set itself up. After manually placing the ink cartridges in their designated slots the LCD screen prompts you through the rest of the set up from placing the paper in all 3 trays to the time/date input. The only time I ran into trouble was connecting my cell phone to the printer and the problem was user error. The phone needs to be on your Wi-Fi network and not on your carrier network. This was clearly stated in the set up guide but I didn`t realize it until I went to the trouble shooting guide and once there the answer was so easy to find. After I was all connected I got busy printing. Use:This machine is great and so easy to use. It does so much as a multifunction machine that I can handle All of my print/copy/scan/fax needs right from my home office. The only option I have not yet been able to utilize is printing photo`s. I attempted to print on regular letter paper but the machine recognized that I was not using glossy paper and prompted me to change the paper. Quality: For as fabulous as this machine is I feel that the crispness of the color is lacking a little. I just don`t feel like it pops the way it should. I don`t want to use the word dull but I feel it could be a little more sharp. If I had something like a presentation to prepare I might have it printed somewhere else. Although it may just be a matter of settings that I have not adjusted properly.Overall:The ease of use of this product shoots it up to an easy 4 stars and of I could get a little sharper print it would be a 5 hands down. The look of machine is very professional and the quality is outstanding. In my opinion you are definitely going to get your money`s worth from this product, especially if you have a home office with many printing needs.

The good: Ink well is great, normal letter printing is excellent. Wireless operation is pretty good, but other than my first system to connect as a printer, all other PC’s and Laptops see it as a scanner and I have not been able to find a way to change that. I have tabloid card stock in tray 2 and miss-feeds are very common. Often takes 3-4 tries to print 2 sheets. When it works the print is excellent.

This printer has many features and the print quality is excellent, I am very satisfied with the machine so far. I am looking forward to determine if the High Capacity Ink Tanks last a reasonable amount of time since it was one of the key reasons to get the unit.

Great printer for my business. I create technical material using legal and ledger paper. This printer holds these sizes in addition to letter with automatic feed for each. Having ledger scan capability is icing on the cake. All this adds to the inkvestment system for storing vast amounts of ink which makes for the “perfect” all-around small business all-in-one.

I have owned this printer for two weeks. Really surprised how nice it is for the price. One thing I was surprised about was how the letter size paper is loaded into the paper tray. Normally I’m use to the paper being loaded with the width of the paper being inserted into the printer tray. This printer the length of the paper is loaded into the paper tray which feeds into the printer first. In the plain paper setting the finished print out takes a mater of seconds. If the setting is changed to inkjet paper, the printout takes a lot longer and if your using good quality inkjet paper and a magnifying glass there is a little improvement in the print quality but for general printing the plain paper setting is fine. The menu touch screen is user friendly. Scanning and copying is easy to figure out and adding email addresses to send a scanned document is straight forward. All the reviews I read said this was the best printer in it’s class and I can’t find anything to disagree in what they wrote. I’d buy this printer again if I didn’t already own it. Inventory is tough, sign up for the email notices and you’ll get a reminder every two weeks that they are waiting for more to be delivered. Hang in there they will get more eventually. I waited a couple months but finally got the notice more came in. Don’t drag your feet in getting an order finalized, they go fast.

Much quieter than other printers. Prints fast. Quality of printing is great. Colors are solid and distinguishable.

I needed an 11×17 printer and scanner…this one does the job. The document feeder also handles 11×17 and is a really useful one…does not misfeed on wrinkled pages or pages that were previously stapled. 2-sided printing, copying, and scanning. The only downside is it lacks an email link so I can send documents from remote locations to be printed at my office.

Fantastic printer for anything! I thought I would never go back to an inkjet because of cost of consumables and frequency of replacing them. This printer is excellent in terms of print quality and cost of ink. I create technical drawings that I print in color at Tabloid size (11″x17″) and the MFCJ6945DW prints them at professional quality.

The ability to print, scan and automatically feed 11″ x 17″ pages is important in the engineering and construction industry.

I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. This is a mini beast, a wonderfully made one from what we`ve experienced the last couple of weeks, but bigger than I was picturing. For a small business/home office, this is perfect, especially if you have multiple users needs as it covers from basic copying/printing, to printing 11″x17″ brochures, envelopes, checks(I haven`t tried that yet though), and photos. The initial set-up was extremely easy, I think I did it around 30 minutes. I set up with my wifi network and have printed from a laptop, Chromebook, Android phone, and my teenager has printed from her iPhone and Ipad. I used the NFC feature to print from my phone and my teen used AirPrint and it worked seamlessly. I love how much paper it holds, I know that doesn`t sound like a game changer, but with a family printing and business needs, it has saved time. For our needs, the color quality of the prints meets our expectations. We have not used it on glossy paper, so I can not say anything to that. I think it prints quietly and much quicker than our last printer, we have had minimal smearing of the ink and it was only on a heavy color print and we didn`t allow a little extra dry time before removing. The automatic feeder is able to take a nice chunk of paper at a time, I`m not sure what the exact amount is that it will hold. I`m excited to try a few other jobs with the printer and not worrying about the ink running out midway is a nice change. Besides for the size is a little bigger than I planned for, it has been a champ in our home and we feel it will continue to work for our needs.

I purchased this MFC-J6945DW because I need a printer that can both print AND scan 11×17 size documents in color. It was purchased to replace an older version of Brother’s Large Platform printers that recently began having troubles with needing to clean itself several times with each ink cartridge change and then I’d be almost out of ink before I could print anything… the former printer was 5 years old and saw light use, so that was a little disappointing that it failed after 5 years. Anyway, on to this printer! This printer is faster to print and to scan than my former printer and it does a really nice job working from the document feed tray – this continues to be a strength compared to other printers that I used that had problems feeding documents well. I also really liked that I could arrange the 8×11.5 and 11×17 trays as I wanted to – on the older version I was forced to arrange them in one particular way so that it would auto feed the proper size. The print quality and scan quality seem to be very good with this printer, note that I’m not printing photos – just color documents. I haven’t printed enough to use up the supplied ink yet, so no comments on ink use or replacement costs yet…. Overall I’m very happy with the J6945DW and hope to be so for many years. It does exactly what I need it to do!

I had problems getting it networked, but your tech support was patient and thorough and we finally got it done. The one connection “secret” that I wished I would have known about ahead of time would have been how to do a network reset to test configuration changes that I tried.

I was looking for a feature packed machine and the reviews pointed to the Brother MFC-J6845DW. I have had it about a month and so are I am extremely happy.
