Brother MFC-J4340DWE

Versatile 4-in-1 printer handles document needs - print, copy, scan, fax wirelessly from devices; includes large in-box ink cartridges for extended printing. Review: A worthy replacement to a reliable workhorse - We got this to replace what was an earlier version of the same device - which had served us well for 8 or more years. It had got to that stage where paper handling had finally given up so it was time for a new spin. I was looking for a model which would do double sided printing automatically (i.e. I didn't need to re-insert the paper) and had scanning facilities etc. I nearly went with an ink-tank model (like this one: https://amzn.to/4mfgfY0) since the cost per copy is incredibly cheap. And I still think that would be a good choice if you were doing huge quantities of printing. However, my research suggested that the ink-tank models may not be so good if you are printing less frequently. We are light home users - I work from home so it does get used most weeks - but might occasionally go for a couple of weeks without it. On that basis I decided the cost/risk on an ink tank wasn't worth it. I'd been very happy with the previous Brother so this seemed like a no-brainer. We've been using it for a few weeks and here are my thoughts. Set up - seemed pretty straightforward. Just follow the instructions onscreen/on web. Connecting to our phones was slightly more fiddly than connecting the PC but works fine. Paper handling good - no jams at all yet. I haven't tried the automatic document feeder for scanning yet - but that should be a useful extra feature. Speed - feels faster than the previous model. I haven't timed it - but definitely fast enough for home office use. Print quality - excellent - have printed some photos and the quality is great. Print cost - it came with proper sized cartridges and it looks like there will be enough ink in there for a year or more of our usage. It should accept compatibles and they don't cost the earth. All in all, very pleased. And when I ordered it, Brother were offering some cashback on purchase, which made an already reasonably priced machine excellent value. Review: Great Printer at a Bargain Price! - Great Printer at a Bargain Price! I recently purchased this printer, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The setup process was incredibly straightforward—literally took just a few minutes to get everything up and running. The user-friendly instructions made it easy even for someone who isn't particularly tech-savvy. Not only was it easy to set up, but I also scored it at a fantastic bargain price, making it an excellent value for money. The print quality is sharp and clear, whether I'm printing documents or photos. It also handles multiple pages efficiently without any issues. Overall, I highly recommend this printer to anyone looking for an affordable, easy-to-use device that delivers reliable performance. It’s a great deal and a smart choice for home or small office use!
