BROTHERMFC-J6957DW Wireless Colour Inkjet Printer |A3 3-1 (Print/Copy/Scan) | Wi-Fi/USB/NFC | A4 | 750 sheet, UK Plug

I had a smaller version of this for 7 years, went wrong once, fixed it, with major surgery myself and it did lots of work, home use. It suddenly died, I hunted for a replacement, the exact one looked a bit dated, so I went for this one - it's bigger and much heavier, but quality is good and speed.......amazing. Only trouble is it's in a first floor room and a 2 man lift......................and more money. So far pleased with the results, bit of a luxury though. Used all the same leads as the old one, had to download some additional drivers. some ink comes with it, but it seems miserly with ink usage. Does A3...................... and has 3 trays so no swapping of paper. Love it.

I bought this to replace an earlier model. This one was much easier to set up (less than 10 minutes). It is much quieter than my previous one and the print quality is excellent, both in colour and black and white. The printer is fast in both printing and scanning. The additional rear tray in which put A3 paper is a welcome addition when compared with its predecessor and works well. Overall I am very happy with this printer and happy to recommend it to anyone wanting a reliable and robust machine.

On paper, the specifications of this printer looked perfect. But after 20 months of use it has become an absolute pain and liability. I have only used genuine Brother ink from purchase, but the Black nozzles are blocked every time I send anything to print even if it has just been a few hours since it's last use!Today, after 5 attempts to unblock the black nozzle, using the most extreme setting and a huge amount of ink I have finally (almost) expended the original cartridge that came with the printer. I'm not a heavy user, but a regular 'weekly' printer. - when it will work!The other massive issue is the inability of the trays to actually remember and report what paper they have loaded, even after I have completed the forced questions on refill. Telling the printer to default to Tray 1 for A4, Tray 2 for A3 and ignore the MP feed seems to be beyond it's understanding and frequently tries to force me to fill the MP feed (which I hardly ever use).The print quality, even when new, was as poor as my very first HP Inkjet dating from 1998. C/M/Y & Black only ink sets can produce good photographic quality prints as my Canon printers from 2003 to 2011 proved on a regular basis, but Brother seems to be using a coarse and clumsy print head?Utter rubbish for 2021 technology and its regular inability to print a simple word document which may soon require a claim on the extended warranty

This is the best printer i have ever owned. The inks last a long time, the printing time is like lightning but the best part for me was the setup and running. On a wireless network it worked first time and it is very responsive every time you send a print, its instant. Printing a3 is also a massive bonus. Ive had it a couple of months now and its only had one paper jam. Still on the inks that came with the printer and i use it most days.The down side? Its big, make sure you have room. For a printer that prints a3 though, its very compact.The scan to pc software is also very good but i did run in to memory errors when trying to scan a3 with highest res.

Looks the part but memory always causes it to buffer takes an age to print from a file even when direct just to laptop.It's easy to use but not ideal as an office printer.

Over the years I have used printers from most manufacturers Brother included and that one was a complete disaster.I was interested to see if Brother have improved since my last experience with them and I'm pleased to say that so far this printer has proved reliable and functional.Firstly this printer is aimed at the small office or business as it's footprint is fairly big and the machine itself is very weighty, I'm using this machine at home so finding a place to hide it away was a problem, the machine has ended up upstairs on a desk top as it is a little unsightly to be in any of the room downstairs.Set-up of the Brother was easy and simple, I use Windows 10 and the installation of the supplied software was fine with no problems. This printer is connected to my home WiFi.This printer supports 3 paper trays and a rear paper feed tray, it can handle A3 on ALL feed trays and all sizes down from that, I have it set-up for A3 in the top tray, A4 mid tray and A5 bottom, the rear tray I have for 'specials' that being photo paper etc.This printer is quick and print output is very good indeed, whether it be just copying a document as a stand-alone or from an attached network printing is fast and efficient. This printer supports double sided printing too.One thing I would mention is the ink cartridges and their price as these seem very expensive indeed, £50 for a black cartridge is way too expensive though it does print upto 6000 A4 pages but still a bit much, compatibles are available for this machine and are more reasonably priced.This machine is a complete all-in-one, it includes scanner with auto document feed, full copier functions and a fax machine, I'm not that sure many use fax nowadays as E-mail has taken over. To use the fax you have to send away to Brother for the relevant cable as one is not supplied but the cable is free of charge.The LCD touchscreen on this printer is sharp and responsive, the menus for the printer are easy to use and simply laid out.This printer can be used direct from a mobile Phone and has NFC connection for simple easy and stress free connecting.Overall a good all rounder and it very versitile it is way better than the previous Brother printer I owned, this machine would be ideal for moderate use in the work environment, but can't help thinking the genuine ink should be cheaper and Brother should address this.

Using for over 3 months, the printer is very useful in all aspects, very functional and easy to use.

Very quick and quiet. Replaced HP 7500 WI'd Format A3 printer and this is far superior. Great machine
