I'm very pleased indeed with this printer, I chose this model as I required the occasional facility of using A3 printing and copying.I also like the large ink tanks. The print quality is excellent. Auto Document Feed for copying documents is an extra bonus, although I may never need this. There are so many great features with this printer, too many to list them all here but I must mention the paper feeds of which there are two.(1) Main paper feed for everyday auto-feed printing including photo size prints etc.(2) Single feed from the back of the machine for specialised printing using A4, A3 and other sizes on thick card or plain paper in landscape or portrait orientation.To begin with I found it a little annoying until I discovered some of the default settings,

The brother MFC-J6530DW printer is fantastic, wireless printing via your mobile phone with the app (iPrint & Scan) also you must install the brother print service plugin (All available on play store or app store)The top loader for photocopying is excellent, no more having to lift up the printer lid to photocopy (But you can do this too if you prefer) The printer is very easy to setup out of the box, just make sure you have enough room to house the printer as it is quite big.This printer replaced an old brother MFC printer I had that gave up after 8 years, I like the ease & flexibility of this printer,

This is a top notch professional printer. It is large! It fits on my desk but it does take up a lot of room so please look at the dimensions before ordering. The set up is really easy with the Quick Set Up guide - easy to follow and everything worked as described (I was using an iMac as the main computer for set up). The print cartridges are easy to install (the printer comes with an XL black and one each of cyan, magenta and yellow) as long as you follow the instructions to remove the plastic protectors! The paper tray takes a lot of paper, about half a ream at least and the print quality is excellent. I have also used the printer for scanning and this is brilliant (especially with the document feeder).

I was really only looking for an A4/A3 printer. Laser was too expensive, so inkjet was the only other choice. This printer is an all-in-one. Printing is pretty much flawless, although I have not tried photographs onto dedicated paper, it is fine on plain paper. Still using the supplied cartridges which are lasting well for print datasheets and invoices.The scanner is the revelation. Very useful indeed. Manual or sheet feed is accurate and fast. Even generates text searchable PDFs directly from the sheet feeder. Only issue I have had with the sheet feeder, is very thin paper has very poor handling. But everything else is fine.I have not tried the fax facility or any of the printers own applications.

I am using this as an all-in-one and expected good quality prints, I wasn't disappointed!Despite it's volume, the machine is fast and quiet in operation. I prefer hard copy manuals for devices I own, I occasionally download repair (engineering) manuals for some older equipment (mostly audio / digital equip.) as I carry out a lot of repair and maintenance on equipment, both owned by me and to favour family etc., - printing hard-copy booklets is so easy and fast with this printer.With only the supplied (lower volume!) printer ink cartridges, I was surprised at the number of prints I was able to achieve before needing new cartridges.All round, I am very pleased with the product, it handles graphics,

This is an excellent printer especially as I often need to print P&IDs and ISOs on A3. The wireless connection for printing was achieved pretty quickly but getting the scanner to work via wireless took a little longer ( a couple of re-starts seemed to sort it!). However, once it WAS set up I am extremely happy with the overall quality and results. The printer is quite large but that is to be expected with and A3. The wireless connection meant that I did not actually keep it on my desk but used space nearby - about 5m away but good connection still). It is very robustly built and was an absolute bargain at the price!

This replaced an old cannon printer that was about 8 years old and finally failed After purchasing a replacement which was fairly cheap (not a cannon) which was defective and had to be returned decided to rethink and purchased this Brother printer which was a bit more expensive .Well made and quicker at printing and quiet.Connected laptop and pad . Did have to use the disc to set up the laptop as seemed unwilling to connect directly.It is unwilling to connect android smart phone at the moment via the downloaded app .This isn't too much of problem for me and when I have time no doubt will sort out

Bought this to replace an aging all in one. I was a bit surprised how large it was, but I did want an A3 printer!. Setup was extremely easy, connected to the internet and performed a Firmware update. I have been using it to scan and print wirelessly on Windows and Mac OSX with no issues. Scanning using the document feeder is extremely fast. On a Mac, I didn't even need to install any software just added it as a printer and it found it straight away.I've been using Canon A3 90gsm paper and it works really well. You can also get a good deal on the printer inks by buying them as a multipack.

In the past I would pay about £60 for a printer , but so many broke down after a year or so : not much good at the out set and very expensive inks. Our old Canon would not print in just black unless a genuine Canon colour cartridge was installed !! This Brother is quite fantastic. So easy to use with a touch-screen. Very fast printing and perfect results. I was taken back by it`s results......quite remarkable. I can use other makes of ink. This is money well spent and so very good at copying simple forms and invoices etc etc. Get one , I am sure you will be surprised as I was.

I only both this printer cause our previous one has stopped working after 6 years. And yes it was a previous generation of this printer. If it's as half as good as the one we had I will be very happy. A3 Print and Scan capabilities are great and we use them on daily basis. Ink cartridges are a little bit dearer and smaller but they are still great value in the XL packs. Set up and wireless connection to all our workstations was quick and easy as is scanning to emails, or specific folders on the computer. Highly recommended to all Small Business that need good quality prints.

Good value but I would have been prepared to pay a bit more for a less flimsy paper feed tray and a better way of feeding individual A3 sheets. I foolishly installed full cartridges to start with. They don’t work until the starter cartridges have been used - didn’t see anything in the instructions about that. Phone help didn’t help on this -advised me to download updated drivers Has proved to be a good printer so far and no Wi-fi problems/ easy finding by mobile devices. One last point - check the size before buying. It is bigger than the HP equivalent it replaced.

Great print and copy quality, as expected from Brother. But dear god it is noisy! Shakes and rattles violently - it also sounds like there are loose springs being boinged inside. It was a lot bigger than I was expecting. The manual paper feed tray will only take one sheet of paper, which is so disappointing as I keep having to jump up and down to put headed paper in. It is very fast and has reduced my printing wait time by at least half from my old Canon. The paper tray business is fiddly, but other than that and the noise it is excellent (so far.)

Running a multimedia and graphic design business, this printer now means I can print up to A3 size to supply small runs of brochures and A4 booklets to clients.I like the "quiet mode". Considering the printer is against a wall shared with my neighbour, I always use it in quiet mode unless I am in some kind of hurry. This means it does everything much slower but it's quiet enough to use at night. I also like to think that it might extend the life span of the machine running everything at half-speed all the time.

This printer does everything a small office might need. It copies, prints & scans well. I haven't used it for faxing. I particularly wanted to be able to print/copy A3 in colour and to have duplex capability. I'm happy with the print speeds. It is a fair size & weight (as another reviewer has mentioned), but it fits perfectly on top of a standard sized 3- or 2-drawer filing cabinet providing there's space alongside for access.It's early days, but everything seems to work well and it has good connectivity.

I am very pleased with this printer as I am now able to print onto card for crafting.I chose a Brother as I have a Brother embroidery machine, also a Scan n cut by Brother and feel they are a good company.I do understand some other peoples comments about the paper tray not being very robust, just have to not be rough when pulling in and out, not a problem.Speed of printing is quick too.When my husband saw the size of it he was amazed, as my old printer was much smaller.So far I am very pleased with it.
