Brother INKvestment Tank Color All in One Printer for Small Business with 11 x 17 in Scanning, Wireless Printing, and Triple Layer Security - Up to 1-Year of Ink Included (MFC-J6955DW)

IF you don't have a Brother printer you need to get one its the best

So far so good! I had previously bought the Brother MFCJ6945DW in Dec 2019. After a couple years it started leaking black ink inside of the printer (changing the cartridge did not help). At first the black ink was just on the unit itself and on the edges of the paper that was being printed and I put up with the problem. But earlier this year it quit working altogether saying some part needed cleaned. I have not had problems with previous Brother printers and am hoping that this printer (Brother MFC-J6955DW) will work for me for many years!

This is a really nice printer for my home office. Installed quickly and connects to google drive and other cloud storage locations for alternate access. I havent run out of ink yet so thats a positive. Print quality is not a clear and as a laser jet but thats to be expected. It prints pretty fast unless you have a large image file. Would buy again.

Literally unboxed the printer and set it up three hours ago...Setup was very quick and easy. Afterall this is my third MFC-J69--DW printer, so I am very well aware of how it works. My first was the 6935, which I bought in July 2018 when I started my business. My second was 6945, which I bought a year later so that I also had a printer when I worked from home. I used the 6935 maybe a few times a week at most, so the printer nozzles clogged frequently. After having to clean the printer nozzles for the millionth time and wasting tons of ink, the printer finally told me that the ink absorption pad was full and that I would need to get the printer serviced by a professional. So, time for a new printer.... and I have cleaned the print heads more than a dozen times now.I had to hit the ground running tonight, printing several pages to have hardcopy back-ups of my work, but the printing quality just will not keep up. I printed several invoices after initial setup without any problem. Then I printed several time sheets which were just bad. Cleaned the heads twice. Printed the time sheets, and they looked good. Then I had to print out a few jobs (2 B&W letters, 1 set B&W pdf blueprint drawings), and I had to print EACH JOB TWICE, cleaning the heads between each attempt.Just tried printing another invoice (B&W, just words and numbers on a page). Had to clean the heads (not just the black, but also the magenta, cyan, and yellow for some reason). "The Print Quality Check Sheet" came back with no flaws. Tried printing the invoice again. Just horrible. Had to clean all four heads again. Check sheet is flawless. Let's try one more time. F***. Worse than the first two times. The ink cartridges that came with the printer are already nearly empty. Okay, one last try. Heads are clean, according to the Check Sheet. Not holding my breath. Holy s***, it worked. Finally! This paragraph, this one paragraph, was for a single, one-page invoice.I am returning this thing. I cannot afford to waste not just money on ink but time on cleaning the heads over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.Does anyone have a recommendation for a color printer/copier/scanner that can print 8.5x11 AND 11x17, and has a space for #10 (Com10) envelopes?

OK, below is my ORIGINAL post for the printer we purchased in August 2023, which was nothing but problems from day one, spent over 500 dollars in ink. (SEE MY ORIG POST BELOW) After several online sessions with their upper level tech support, and trying all the deep "secret" menu tests, they finally agreed that it was indeed a LEMON. They did not want it back, so we dropped at a recycle facility. The REPLACEMENT printer, same model, seems to work PERFECTLY so far. No hourly cleaning, and no partial colors (could not even get a deep black on the lemon machine) SO...if you have a problem similar to mine, DO NOT HESITATE to ring the support line and jump through their hoops as it seems they actually honor their product. Best to you all! (original post below)--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------After using this POS for a couple months, it is DRINKING the ink, very poor for a new machine. The cleaning cycle runs EVERY DAY...we only print maybe 20 pages per day, the ink is gone so fast.Ink is VERY expensive for this printer. The so called year of ink turned out to be less than 2 weeks. I complained to Brother and they sent me a set of cartridges which have lasted less than a month. WE ARE NOW ON THE THIRD SET OF CARTRIDGES WITH THIS INK HOG...COSTING US OVER $100 PER MONTH SO FAR...AND WE DO NOT NOT NOT PRINT MORE THAN NORMAL DAILY USE OF 20-40 PAGES. Example today the black was not printing clearly so another cleaning dropped the usage based total left from 750 to 300 pages. I will be only buying generic cartridges at 1/3 the cost...warranty be darned. WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER BROTHER PRINTER. BUYER BEWARE THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE LESSON>

I wanted a printer that would handle 11 x 17 paper. This printer comes with two paper drawers. The second drawer expands to handle 11 x 17 inch paper. It also has a rear feed that allow feeding sheets one at a time. It comes with huge ink cartridges, claiming one year worth of ink. That claim remains to be seen but I will put it to the test.Print quality is excellent, it doesn’t matter if I’m using plain paper, photo paper or card stock. It also allows off site printing, it can copy on both sides when scanning. It can print on both sides, scan to your phone, tablet or computer. It also handles air printing, connecting to the router wireless, RJ-45, or USB to your computer.Bottom line if you want 11 x 17 printing or a printer that can fax, scan, print pictures etc, this printer is for you.
