It offers good speed with 12 ppm printing in black and 10 ppm in color. It also will create detailed photographs and sharp text with a print resolution of 6000 x 1200 dpi. Along with this, automatic duplex and borderless printing are available at print sizes up to 8.5 x 11", though the unit can handle documents as large as 8.5 x 14".
Scanning and faxing are possible due to the integration of a flatbed and 20-sheet ADF that handles your documents and photos. The max optical resolution is 2400 x 1200 dpi for creating vivid, finely detailed images. Also, it has a 2.7" color touchscreen LCD for checking status and adjusting settings.

Setting up the MFC-J895DW is simple with options for USB 2.0, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet with NFC connectivity. Users will also be able to connect directly with their mobile devices using Wi-Fi Direct.

I expected the typical printer issues when installing and instead, everything went perfectly smooth.

I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. I acquired this printer for home office use with occasional business-related activities. The size and weight are compact and manageable. I particularly appreciate that the power cord and phone cord for fax (if you plan to use it) are located on the side, and the paper tray is accessible from the front for regular paper and smaller sizes. Never fear, there is a manual paper feed in the back, for when the paper tray isn`t big enough or you need more manual control, but the vast majority of what I need is letter size or smaller. In the past, I have had machines that require cord access and any non-letter paper to feed from the back. I like to locate my printers as out of site as possible so these streamlined front/side features are really convenient! Another fun feature is the tiltability of the display screen so you don`t have to be at eye-level with the printer to read it easily.Setup was quick — less than 20 minutes. The quick start guide is helpful. The printer comes with starter ink, so you just have to add paper! I was able to print wirelessly from my laptop and mobile device as soon as I connected the printer to my wifi network. The printer speed is fairly quick. The print quality is average – no complaints – it gets the job done! Photos even on their best setting aren`t pro-quality, but they are passable for basic home use. The printer can print 2-sided, which saves a lot of paper. It`s not the quietest machine and sounds a bit clunky, but it didn`t wake the sleeping baby or scare the dog!The wireless scanning is probably my favorite feature. You can scan to a variety of cloud-based document storage apps (like dropbox, evernote, google drive, etc.), or you can scan to an email from Brother to your email or another address. When setting up an email address for scanning, you also have the option to add a PIN, which is a nice security feature if you have multiple users or children who are always up to something. The scan quality is fine for most uses. The document feeder tray scanned slightly crooked, but in a completely adequate way for 99% of what I use it for. For the other 1% of the time when it matters, I can lay documents/photos right on the glass to avoid this problem.Overall, I am very satisfied with the capabilities of this machine and will not miss hunting for a flash drive every time I need to scan!

Printer has all the features that we need. Print quality is real clear. We had a Lexmark prior to this brother and we like this one much better. We are happy with this printer.

Most simple install ever. I love this printer. Super fast and very good quality printing. I mostly print documents and it doesn’t get any better than this! I love that the ink cartridges are separate.

My first favorite thing about our new printer is that it has a smaller footprint with more features than the last printer we had. Also, the instructions sound as if they are written in English by a non-tech writer so that they were easy to read and understand. It was a simple and easy set up. The scan feature works like a charm and has the option of creating short cuts for often-used procedures for scanning documents. My last printer was so complicated; this one is so easy to set up and use. My husband and I researched it before we bought it so we expected it to me a very good product, but we were very surprised at just how good it is.

Great Printer, economical in ink cost, prints at a fast pace, wireless and very convenient. The cost of this printer is very, very affordable.

This was a replacement for an EPSON 740 Stylus writer that was 30 years old. I am impressed with its capabilities. The EPSON just printed, The BROTHER will print, is a copier, is a fax machine, and a scanner. It takes a little while to get used to all that. Sometimes, there is a time lapse between the time I select “print”and the machine actually starts to print which is bothersome at times.

After 3 Epson printers, each more annoying than the last, i have a Brother and wish I had done this sooner. It’s easier, more intuitive, quieter and generally so much more user-friendly.

Set up was a bear. I had to do a setup without using the disk provided because my laptop doesn’t have a DVD. So I tried finding the setup software on the brother website with no luck. Finally, I decided as a last resort to search google and low and behold they knew where on the brother website the correct file was. It set up easily enough once I had the correct file. The printer prints really nice quality prints which I expected as this is not my first Brother. It is waaaaayyy faster than my old one. It is a little louder though.

I received this product for free from Brother in exchange for my honest opinion/review of the product. The overall impression of this printer is very positive. It has a lot of great features that were very helpful such as the mobile printing and the cloud access from the machine. It has a nice paper capacity so I don`t have to refill the machine every few prints. The setup for the printer was quick and easy. It was minimal effort to install the ink cartridges and the quality of the print is perfect. The screen is color and easy to navigate. The printing speed is satisfactory for my needs. The copy and scan features worked well and quickly. I am able to scan/copy multiple documents at a time which is a breeze compared to my last printer that I had to individually feed one sheet at a time. This product exceeded my expectations, and the Bluetooth/NFC printing from my phone was so amazing. I have been missing out on this feature for years and I am glad I have finally caught up with technology! Greta printer
