5 of 5 This is not your run of the mill home office print Saturday, April 11, 2009
Paul P. from Shelton, CT  

I have always been a fan of Brother products. This is the second MFC I have purchased. The first one is still working flawlessly, but i couldn't pass up the deal on this one. One of the greatest features is the multiple pages sizes which include legal and ledger. Nothing like having a contract faxed to you written on 8.5x14 and you only have 8.5x11 to print it out! The individual ink cartridges are fantastic and ideally placed in the front of the machine! The speed is very good for an inkjet, even color prints run through with ease. If you are looking for lighting speed, you would need to opt for a color laser machine at a substantial increase in cost. Oh yeah, don't forget its wireless too!

5 of 5 11 x 17 performance at a bargain price Saturday, November 15, 2008
Joe H. from Yardley, PA  
This is my first brother product, and the decision to purchase was driven by my HP no longer being supported on Mac OS 10.5 as well as this being the first 11 x 17 All-in-One that I saw on the market. In my field, environmental consulting, the larger size scanning and printing is really essential. I've had the machine for 4 weeks and in my small business I have it as a network printer for 3 macs and a PC. Installation was simpler than I had expected and fairly intuitive. Performance thus far has been quite acceptable. This is no speed champion, but quick enough for my needs. The 11 x 17 print/scan performance is good. The chassis is flimsier than my old HP Office Jet G-85 (the lid flexes quite a bit when you lift it - wonder how that will hold up over time. Also, there is no slot for printing envelopes (as best I can tell, you need to remove the paper in tray 1 and reconfigure for envelopes, then return back - ideally, I'd like to use paper tray 2 to alternate between 11 x 17 and envelopes but that seems impossible - a slot for individual envelope printing would have been ideal). I have yet to print photos, but I expect good results as the printer is clearly configured for such service. I like having individual color cartridges (as opposed to an all-in-one color). Energy Star compliance saves electricity, but comes back to life quickly when needed. Overall, an amazing value for $200.

5 of 5 Just what I was looking for! Tuesday, November 11, 2008
Patty from Irvine, CA  
This is my 5th Brother product - 4th MFC and 1 Laser workhorse. I have come to trust the Brother line. I run a small business and the printers/MFC's are just right for all of my printing/copying needs. All are great value for the cost and last for years with min maint. This MFC 6490CW was a breeze to install, setup easy (I've done it enough times), the functions are great and easy to learn. The best thing about it for me are the paper trays. I don't like the open ended ones, I like the ones that pull out so oddly, this was a great selling point for me :-) It has a neat display screen as well. Nice, sturdy, functional, speed, and quality; all just right for my needs.

5 of 5 Great All in ONE Sunday, November 09, 2008
Trout & Creek Architects from Wakeman Ohio  
Bought this for the 11 x 17 scanning, Prints are sharp and crisp. Dual paper trays make switching paper easy. Learning to use a network scanner is not explained well; but trial & error it was solved. A GREAT machine for a good price; & a two year Warranty by Brother.

5 of 5 So far, very happy Monday, September 29, 2008
Rich from Savannah, GA  
The new printer arrived in perfect condition and was setup with a minimum of effort. In short order, I had two of my computers printing wirelessly. I've also used the wireless scan to computer function and it works well. I need to configure scan to email, but haven't gotten around to setting it up. It prints pretty fast and the results are good (no photos printed yet, so I can't comment). I haven't had it long enough to judge cartridge life, but I plan on buying the high yield cartridges and I don't print a lot so I should be good. Overall I am very satisfied and have had no problems whatsoever. Printing wirelessly is very nice and makes the purchase very sweet indeed.

5 of 5 Great alternative to HP Wednesday, September 03, 2008
A Customer from Atlanta, GA  
I've had HP all in one printers before and decided to try Brother based on a friend's recommendation. One thing I didn't like about HP was that they haven't brought their printers into the Vista world yet and that frustrated me. So far the Brother has done a great job for me. IT was very easy to set up. Quick to find my network and wireless access works great. The printer is very fast too. I don't think the color copies are quite as good as my old HP, but that is OK by me. I generally only use the printer for business, and most of that is black and whiel.
