Brother MFC-J6555DW INKvestment Tank Color Inkjet All-in-One Printer with up to 1 Year of Ink in-box1 and 11” x 17” Print, Copy, scan, and fax Capabilities,WhiteEPEAT

We needed a large document printer for farm business and the prices were intimidating. I found this printer on Amazon several hundred dollars less than other printers. It is a tank inkjet, which we wanted and does all the tasks required. It is heavy at 44 lbs. (which I equate with quality), so it is not especially portable. Print quality is excellent and its' print speed is good. I have not used the rear paper feeder but I'm sure I'll find a use for it at some point. Setup was okay but not great. I’ve had a lot of experience setting up computers, printers, etc. as well as installing software, so my main complaint was the amount of time required along with minor lack of clarity in some of the instructions. However, I can envision that an inexperienced person could have some struggles with installation and setup.The software written for this printer is fairly minimal. It looks like the only thing I can do from my computer is print and scan. Printer maintenance apparently has to be accomplished through commands on the touch screen of the printer. I ordered the printer with extra ink and received ink for the previous model of this printer. So it is probably best to purchase the printer and order the compatible ink separately. Of course, reliability is of major importance but it will be a while before I can comment. I would definitely recommend this printer for someone needing a large document all-in-one, especially given the price point of the printer.

This seller had very fast service on the printer. It arrived in good shape. A very nice printer. I had one like this before just a little smaller. I wanted it to print on both sides which it does. It has better color than my other one. It does a lot more than I would need but I really like it. It can print a lot of pages which I can do from my living room and the paper isn’t all over the floor.

Negatives:I wanted to be happy with this product. When I got the printer I opened the torn box and lifted the printer out. There were several empty plastic bags plus the protective plastic bag the machine was supposed to be inside of at the bottom of the box. The cartridges were already installed and I had no instructions plus there was no telephone cable. Nothing I received was factory packaged.Because I needed a printed I decided to setup this machine using the downloads on the Brother support website. When I attempted to set it up I kept getting an error message.After multiple attempts to get it to setup I gave up. I did my best to repackage the machine with a used plastic protective bag, taped the torn box as best I could. Contacted Amazon for a refund and return.1. Amazon shouldn't sell used machines as new.2. If they are going to sell used machines the machine should be sent to a professional refurbisher, fully tested for functionality and include all new cartridges and guides.3. I don't know if Brother would honor a warranty on a used machine even if I could have made it workI bought a different Brother printer from a local office supply store. Had a totally positive experience. It was brand new, factory packaged, with all guides and setup instructions and works exactly as expected.Positives:If the machine was new and worked like the one I bought locally it:1. Had a great menu size and the menu is easy to understand and use.2. If it prints as well as the printer I bought locally the print quality is very good.3. If it was a new machine and included the setup guide it would have been easy to setup.One last thing. This printer is big and heavy. If you are elderly and lack physical strength you'll need to have someone assist you in removing it from the box and carrying it to where you need it.

The Brother MFC-J6555DW was much bigger than I expected. It's simple to set up and configure. I plugged it in, put in my network password and it was immediately connected and worked well with my multiple Mac computers. I needed to replace an aging printer for my home office and this has worked well. It prints very fast for standard docs. I use it to proof size and color of assets going to be professionally printed. It seems color accurate or close enough. If I was printing professionally I would have a more expensive printer. It's been better than my previous printer that lasted for 6 years (prints faster, handles more paper types). I even tested photos on glossy photo paper. They turned out well and it's great if you don't have time to send things out to be printed professionally.The ink cartridges are huge. Like 3 or 4 times the size of standard inkjet cartridges. So I when it comes time to replace ink, I will pay 1/2 as much for 3 or 4 times the amount of ink. This printer seems like it will be a good value for my small business. I would recommend for small or home office use with moderate printing needs.
