I will never buy another brother product because it doesn't allow me to use any inks but brothers

I've owned the MFC-J6930DW for about 4 years so I am speaking from a long-term owners perspective. I use the printer in a home environment so it's not used on a daily basis, more like weekly. As the title implies, the scanner function is excellent in terms of scanning office type documents for archiving. The scanning is quick and its duplex function is excellent. The scanner never jams, which is unlike other brands I have tried. It also has a large flat-bed so you can scan legal documents and A3. I have used this for scanning certificates and awards etc and it's been really useful to have the capability. It's not great for scanning photos though and I wouldn't recommend it for that as the scan quality doesn't bring out the best in the colours or dynamic range. As for the printing, it's relatively quick but the quality is only average. I've been using the XL size ink cartridges and they last longer than average, but like most printers they're too expensive in my opinion. My cartridges recently ran out and I decided it was a good time to switch printers and I bought an Epson EcoTank ET-3850. The print quality is better on the Epson and the ink will last a lot longer, so in the long run it will be more cost effective. I won't be getting rid of the Brother though as the versatile scanning it offers will still come in hand in the future.

Had Brother printers years ago but my wife brought a Canon with her. That died and my MFC of choice was a Brother MFCJ6930DW.. Excellent features and print quality. Simple install.

I have never owned a 3 in 1 machine and chose Brother because of my experience with a laser printer. This time I wanted a unit that would do a better job of printing color and the MFC was priced reasonably. Purchasing it meant I could throw out an old scanner and have other desirable features such as wireless printing and more. I am completely satisfied. the Scan/Print App works well with my MacBook and we are able to print remotely from another room, do 2-sided printing and use a wide variety of paper including 11x17 which I have not done before.

Printing quality is great ! The ability of printing 11x17 prints is a high priority for me.

It's nice to be able to copy double sided pages. It also has very clear printing.

The colors are weak and anemic. The black and white is okay, I would have bought a cheaper model or a competitor's unit if I'd known how much the quality has degraded. I bought a Brother MFC 20 years ago and wore it out. This replacement is a pale shadow of the former unit.

I have a small, one-person business but often print out 11x17 plans and booklets. This printer has been fantastic. Great print quality, easy to set up, easy to use.

A very large business ready printer with great features and wonderful reliability also for home use.

I was able to set up everything and print wirelessly ONCE. I've had to direct connect with a USB for every subsequent print job. The control center for scanning is glitchy and often has a dialog box that contradicts reality. I miss my old Brother model that worked hard and provided reliable results.

This printer never worked out if the box. I have to bring it to Brother Repair shop in Sain Cloud, Flight

This is a very good true 11 X 17 printer. I think getting the 11 X 17 to work and the lingo to do so is a little quirky, but that may just be me

FEATURES to print, borderless-non borderless up to 11x17, density & selection of quality printing/copying -- QUITE GOOD!! Scanning does a nice job w/up to 600 dpi, large or small doc's -- making repro's/copies whether from copies ta' scan -- scan ta' copy -- copy ta' copy --> very nice!!

I did my research, and this is the model I wanted. Unfortunately, there were none available online or in stores. But, rather than buy another model, I waited three months for this one. I'm glad I did; it's very nice. Twos drawbacks I see is that it prints slowly when on photo-quality. This may be typical; I'm not sure. Also, the included ink cartridges don't last long. My understanding is that they contain less ink than the replacements you'll have to buy

This is a good printer but it is hard and complicated to setup. The customer support is not the best as you have to struggle to find a live person to help. I love the printer capabilities and fast print for home use. I’m still trying to figure out all features.

Very quiet when printing, colors are vivid and the photo printing is high quality. Two letter size paper trays store plenty of paper and pullout and return easily. Scanner does coping thru Brothers and Adobe Photoshop. I use it as a home office printer. Front panel GUI is easy to navigate.

I do mostly 11x 17 inch passer for music. It scans that size also. It prints on Vellum paper extremely well. It also handle the day to day items as well.

I have been using my MFC-J6930DW for over three years. It has performed flawlessly. Don't recall ever having a paper jam. I highly recommend this machine!

This is my second Brother machine. The prior one was the previous model of this machine. The printer has been very reliable and easy to use, especially with their App, I can print stuff from my phone and scan docs easily. I did have a print head plug that no matter what was done it wouldn't clean it out. Brother sent me a new machine. I am purchasing another one now for a second home office that is in my shop, 200ft from my home.

FIRST time Brother's purchaser and enjoying the features of the MFC-J6930DW. As a very detailed and organized person I wanted an ALL IN ONE to exceed in good customer service. I find the product features offer superb and detailed guidance.

Great product ... I would recommend it The tray where the paper comes out is too smal and also paper does not stack well.

I love my new machine minus the fact that it calibrate when the machine is turned off wasting my expensive ink. Other than that, I am happy! Still not sure what I am getting out of this model vs. the model one hundred dollars less.

Brother printers are reliable. My last printer was a brother as well. It never broke. Which is why I prefer Brother printers.

I haven't used the printer much since I just received it, but so far it functions way better than the 3 previous HP units I have owned - keeps WiFi connection with our various devices - laptops, phones, ipads, print quality is better. What I don't know is how efficient or not it is on using ink.

The only thing better than this printer is Brother customer support. Both are simply outstanding.

I had my machine for about a year and all of a sudden I started gettig scans that were not clean. Tried cleaning it but it would scan one page clean and then right back to blue lines running down the length of the scan. Gave up and bought an HP.

This printer is amazing and much more than I thought it would be. I'm not even sure how to use all the functions. Only thing I don't like is the speed. I thought paying double would get me better speed but it still prints as fast as the $100 printers.
