Brother stands behind their products by a 2 year warranty that replaced our office copier when a problem developed.

First Brother printer I’ve ever bought and both my wife and I LOVE it! Very easy to use, easy to access over wi-fi from our phones and laptops. My only criticism is that the scanner does not create images as sharply as I would like them. It’s possible I can adjust settings to resolve that issue. I’ve been a Canon user in the past. I’ll never buy another Canon printer again.

I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I am very pleased with this product. It has exceeded my expectations for a home printer. The printing quality is very good. I love having home access to easy scanning and copying. My favorite feature is that I can print directly from my phone. I frequently save recipes and articles to my phone, but then find it cumbersome to get the items to my desktop for printing. This printer saves me that step and is a game changer!This printer comes with a years worth of ink. This estimate is based on printing 300 pages a month, which I won`t do, which means that I won`t have to replace the ink for even longer. Replacing printer ink can be a hassle, is expensive and can be hard on the environment. I`m pleased that I`m set for a long while. I would not call myself tech savvy. I was able to set up the printer, connect it to our wireless and desk top and download the app to my phone without any issues. It was a relief to know that support was easily accessed if needed. There were numerous references to Brother help and support if I had needed. One thing that I`d mention, is that potential buyers should pay attention to the size of the printer before purchasing. It is about four times the size of my previous Brother home printer. I needed help getting the printer upstairs and it will not fit in the spot where we kept our other printer.Overall, I`m thrilled with this home printer. I am thrilled about all of its many functions and pleased that I won`t have to spend time and money going somewhere else for my scanning and copying needs.

I have the previous model 6710 and love it. So when I needed another tabloid 11″ x 17″ printer I did my research again and no surprise Brother was the answer again with this model. It does everything with an 11″ x 17″ size paper that it can do with letter and legal. Prints nice color at good ink price. Does single or double sided prints, copies, and scans. Or you can scan on the flat glass for items that cannot go thru a feeder. It has two trays for any size paper, and a back manual feed slot. It is WiFi, network, or USB. Has a nicer color touch control panel. And the software is great. I print a lot of 11×17 plans, mark notes all over them in red or pencil, and then I can adjust the scan settings and save the settings so the scan looks good and the file size is smaller. It’s also a good photo printer for the kids. The best thing is it never breaks. Rare malfunction that is easy to clear following on screen prompts. On my old model Brother still updates software long after warranty is up and product is no longer sold. It is super easy to print and scan from smart phones also. Brother is my go to brand now thanks to these two large format printers.

I used a previous model with similar features that lasted seven years. This model has the same features with improvements. So far, it has met my expectations.

So far, this printer has met my needs. I was looking for single pass duplex scanning, and this is one of the few printers in this price range that offers such a feature. Print quality is ok. On it’s default settings, printing is very fast, but quality is sub-par. It works fine for most printed documents. If you select higher print quality, it slows down a lot but produces much better quality printouts. I’ve also used the features to scan directly to cloud (Dropbox) and email. It’s a bit tedious to set up the first time, but works.

So far, I’m very happy with the printer. The bonus is being able to print 11×17 posters for the office. It was a much more economical alternative to farming out our small quantity printing and there’s no wait for printing to be delivered, etc. It’s a larger machine, so space a reasonable amount of space is needed. So, keep that in mind.

Printer worked first time out of the box for letter and ledger sizes. No problems loading software. Print quality as expected. Scanning works well but I haven’t tried AF yet. Don’t use fax so I can’t comment. When I first started buying printers 20 years ago I steered away from Brother because the demo units in the stores were always broken but this time they worked in the store and I was impressed. I mostly bought HP but the way they force you to use a lot of expensive ink disgusts me and I doubt I will buy them again. So far Brother seems to be keeping their promise of good quality low cost printing.

The J6945DW prints and copies with acceptable quality. The paper trays have a problem with the slides when trying to open and close them. Paper feed is very loud and #1 or top tray makes a very loud clicking when feeding paper. #2 or bottom feed is not so bad. Top cover to copy or scan bed is quite heavy making it easy to drop when closing.

I like the printer overall. I print envelopes using the feeder in back. However, I have been unable to figure out how to print a single check using the feeder. Seems like that should be possible.

This is my first Brother Ink printer. I have previously purchased 3 different color laser printers from Brother. I decided to go Inkjet for this one as my volume needs were not especially high and the ability to support larger format paper size was a relevant feature for my current needs. Inkjet is way quieter than laser, which I appreciate. The print quality was pretty impressive. Setting up the Direct WiFi connection was a little tricky, but got done. I also like the various management software options for printer and scan management. Overall, I think that this printer has great value and quality.

Scanner. When I say “Real” – believe my painstaking research – only a few models have the double-sided scanner (and FAXing for that matter) in this price range. Even if you come across this feature, some manufacturers ‘forget’ to say theirs is manual (you turn the pages, and the s/w will deal with it). Not with this model. And what a scanner it is! It scans both sides simultaneously, so you don’t have to worry about the jams and reliability in the long run. Printing. With a ton of original cheap ink I don’t worry printing a lot. That could be a gazillion of photos for a car accident report, or all the test results from my health history, etc. With 3 paper sources I’ve setup a tray for documents, a junk tray for casual draft printing, and a back tray for check printing. However, the paper formats are so versatile, that dedicated trays could be for Legal size and even larger ones including continues printing for big banners. Also, it perfectly handles the label sheets without separating stickers from the base. Fax is good, has many features for handling from itself and the computer. The S/W needs improvements. For some reason the original interface is primitive and is not necessarily intuitive. For more control I needed to setup another App ‘Brother Utilities’. Say if you want to go more than 1200 dpi, you cannot do it in the original setup. The Utility will ‘call’ another .exe command to switch with your permission. Why can’t they do everything in one place? So, now I have 3 icons for this printer. MFC-J6945DW is not small at all. Big footprint and the space above should be free for at least 2 feet. (The smaller version MFC-J5945DW was hard to come by). For the price this is the best choice for a truly A-I-O and mega-ink cartridges.

I really have no issues with the machine up to this point. I don’t see how the black ink is going to last for a year as probably claimed. I just bought it in June – July and the black ink level is significantly down.
Katrina Cassin (verified owner) –
We bought this for our home office and cannot be more pleased with the purchase. Setup was effortless. High quality prints and scans with great detail, even on ledger size paper, picking up the faintest of pencil markings. Convenient multi size paper trays allow you to have 3 sizes in the machine at all times without switching out the paper. Ink cartridges load in the front making it easy to change. Its somewhat noisy and takes up a lot of real estate on the counter, but you cannot go wrong with this all-in-one.

I bought this to replace an earlier version, which broke after 13 years. I does everything well, and has addressed all the weaknesses of my earlier model. I got it as it has full 11 x 17″ capability in paper handling for printing, and scanning including the ADF. The addition of auto duplexing, manual sheet feed for labels etc. and ink tanks make it fully capable for all my needs. The cons: It’s big and heavy. The print quality is not as good as some other brands, but is perfectly acceptable to share with clients. I haven’t needed to do any large print runs yet (500+pages), so I don’t know how quick it will be with that.

This all in one is everything it said it would be, the set up was a snap. I’m using 3 laptops wireless with no problem. I’ve put it through its paces by scanning, copying,and receiving faxes. Everything has worked with no problem. The one thing I haven’t tried yet, but I don’t think it will be a problem is print a photo.
