The features of this machine has convinced me immediately, but with the mark I was very uncertain, since I've only owned printers from HP, Epson and Canon. On the leaderboards devices BROTHER are usually locates in midfield, but as is weighted there? Where are the really interesting endurance tests? What is the statement of a technician to evaluate who says these are brand printers Brother 80% of the repairs and the experts nevertheless friend from Druckerchannel this device? Looking at the market more accurately, the HP, EPSON, CANON and LEXMARK you will notice in the direction of private customers are based, while Brother is mostly found at office supply stores, has therefore more specialized in business clients. In the office you want to print any CDs, print photos. It attaches great importance to economical, fast and quiet after switching on the device immediately ready to work, and not only after 3 minutes. If a device is defective is the first way to the workshop and into the dustbin. Private consumer think because often different and that explains my opinion a lot.
2. Why do I no longer stay true to HP?
HP printer had been a decisive advantage gegnüber other makes changed with every cartridge replacement and the printhead is. We stayed with original cartridge was very expensive, but you went to a gas station could ink a cartridge up to 7x new refueling for little money! The new HP printer now but follow the same policy as ink EPSON and CANON: A refill is made difficult by the original chip and the print head remains inside the printer. This affects the durability of the printer and so it is probably not surprising that HP is only 1 year warranty on its devices.
3. Why I opted for BROTHER:
BROTHER are 3 year warranty! BROTHER does not use chips that make it difficult to refill. 15ml refill not even cost 3 euros! BROTHER devices are ideal for office, strong in text printing, copying and scanning.
4. My first experience with the device and my conclusion:
What surprised me the construction of this unit, with my first multifunction device is and this could be quite common. The cartridges are right below and not as usual above the print head. So do not move with it. The paper source is a tray that can be removed completely from the device and about 80 sheets of paper.
CONVENIENTLY
Wireless Internet access is set up quickly and the transmitter / receiver quite strong!
The photo print on the appropriate Paier has very positively surprised. So I did not expect!
Text printouts walk briskly by equip. Have not measured but there are perceived 4 seconds.
The quality leaves nothing to be desired on my part.
The memory card of my camera are detected immediately and I can see the pictures on the diplay.
Shortcoming
I see so far no real downside, but the construction of the paper source does not particularly robust. At the bottom comes in the A4 paper. In a movable cover located on the prints are stored. This cover serves the same time as the paper source for special formats such as 10x15 photos and envelopes which makes the whole foolproof and works better than my old HP. Somehow convinced me this solution but not 100%, because I would have liked more volume for Paier and a more robust design of the cover.
