Best Printer I've Ever Owned
Granted I've only owned 2 other printers before this, but it is by far the best. It's incredibly easy to set up (unlike HPs thanks to their app), the print quality is excellent, and it prints incredibly quickly. It even prints on both sides without needing to flip the paper in the tray. Also, unlike the most helpful critical review says, my cyan ink cart was not defecti...

Print heads clog easily
Print heads clog easily even using Brother INk exclusively. The printer has a regular self cleaning routine designed to eliminate this problem, but if you check the youtube channels, this occurs far too frequently. Cleaning is a tedious,messy job that doesn't last long. I had high hopes for this printer. Should have been a workhorse. But I can't print in color anymore...

How boring !!
The installation and connections were so easy and trouble free that i had to pinch myself to make sure i wasn't dreaming.
All of our prior printers were far more difficult to set up and use, to i was filled with anxiety that this would be a repeat.
Boy, was i wrong !!

Very good
Copies from computer are excellent. Scanning copies are a bit fuzzy.

Waste of money
I’ve printed one time and it doesn’t work. Prints half of the words. Terrible product, will be returning.

Good Printer and Good Price!
This is a great printer for light printing tasks. I was more than pleased with the easy set-up, since I am not a “Trekkie.” Approximately, 10 minutes out of the box and I was doing my first Test Print! The price is just right. Highly recommend.

sleek looking and it works
wish the directions were in color and that the printer came with the USB cable. They recommend that you set it up using a pc via USB but don't provide you with the cable. it was easy enough to set up via the app though.

Nice printer
The printer was easy to set up and seems to be working fine. The ink is easy to replace and relatively cheap. Nice printer.

New Customer - Happy Convert
I have been using Brother's MFC-J1205W printer daily - sometimes a couple of times a day - for a few months now. I found the ease of use, set up and print quality to be really fine. I turned in two Hewlett Packard printers and deleted my HP account after more than a year of constant printer connection problems, buggy software updates and hard to fit ink cartridges. I am...

Not all that pleased
The basic printer works ok as a copier. The first one developed a problem that cound not be fixed, It was replaced with a reconditioned unit under warranty. The photo scanner is a bit of a joke, The photos print very dark with shadows. I am not happy with the unit and wish I had purchased something else.

Used another brand for years
This brand was recommended to me by a store. I was getting tired of frequently replacing my former brand printer. This time it only lasted 6 months. I am very happy with the Brother printer. Easier to set up and use than my former brand.

Great Printer !!
I have been very pleased with my MFC-J1205W 3 function printer. I've had it for a month and it has been operating perfectly. When compared with other brand similar products, I find the Brother to be more robust and solidly built. The Brother iPrint & Scan on-screen control ap is a breeze to use. Overall this Brother printer, scanner, copier has surpassed my expectations...

New Brother printer MFC-J1205W
Brother MFC-J1205W printer- I have installed and tried to get attached to WIFI. The printer works on printing from Word but not from my laptop when online. I have installed multiple times and am at a loss.

Printer & Cartridges best deal than 4 HP cartrides
Linux Mint 21.3 OS, Asus PRIME B550-PLUS motherboard with AMD Ryzen 7 5700G CPU.
My PC immediately recognized the Brother MFC-J1205W Inkjet Printer and it was Plug & Play from there. For only a few dollars more of what I was about to spend on 4 HP replacement printer cartridges, I get a NEW Brother MFC-J1205W Printer including cartridges. The print quality is acceptab...
