MFC-J6940DW

Very good. Duplex scan, copy, print. A4. I have not tried A3 facility.

Seems great so far. Print quality is excellent with ability colours too very high resolution. Which is useful for producing art reference prints. Ability to print in both A3 and A4 is very useful.

I do occasionally need to print A3, hence this purchase. I bought it to replace an earlier Brother A3 all-in-one printer on which, after about 5 years, the print heads had become clogged beyond my capacity to clean them. The MFC-J6940DW is bigger than the model it was bought to replace and barely fits on my desk allowing room for my desktop screen. Another minor annoyance is that is keeps telling me off for buying non-Brother replacement ink cartridges. They are, of course, much cheaper than Brother's own brand and work perfectly well, so being nagged by the machine for saving money is a bit irritating. Apart from that, it's good. The print quality is actually excellent and the A3 scanner is very useful. If it lasts as long as its predecessor, I'll be happy. My previous Brother printer had the great advantage over its opposition that it didn't have built-in obsolescence in the form of parts that have to be replaced after a certain number of print cycles whether or not there is anything wrong with them. I very much hope that the new printer is the same. Forcing you to replace expensive parts when they're still working is not only a rip-off, it's also terrible for the planet. I'm hoping Brother have maintained their integrity.

Had a 6720 for years; bulletproof. This one seems prone to doing its own thing. Resolutely refuses to default to A4, always US letter, which is utterly useless anywhere else in the world and means the first page of every letter or report comes out at A3. Now it has decided that it won't print A3 and refers me to the little hatch at the back, which is inconvenient as my printer sits against a wall! And has a desire for firmware updates every other day, can't go 5 minutes without phoning home. As you'd expect this all manifests itself 48 hours after the return window closes!!! Like a built in self-destruct. Oh, and of course it can't use the same cartridges as the last version, after I've bought a fresh stock!! Not sure why we have to put up with this? Why Brother wont engage with their customers? Or why products get worse not better?

This is the latest in a long line of MFC models. It's basically the same as the previous models but with noticeably greater refinement. However there are a couple of concerns: I'm not so keen on the on-line driver installation because I like to have a local copy. They've broken the scan to email function. Previous models you could scan from the scanner into a PC's Thunderbird email but now it only scans to Outlook.

Great product , easy to set up and use .

Really good unit although the given dimension are too small once A3 paper is being used and all the feeds are unfolded.

Excellent all round printer/scanner
