    4.0 out of 5 stars Very Satisfied I got this Brother printer (‎MFCJ491DW) a few years ago but didn’t set it up right away as I thought I was moving soon and packed it away in storage with other items. The move took longer than planned and it was only a few months ago that I unpacked the printer. It was easy to set up and worked perfectly right out of the box. Flawless Wi-Fi between two iMac computers. I don’t have a landline so it isn’t set up for fax. Print quality is good. It takes a variety of paper sizes and provides dec... read more

    Good Printer Good printer right out of the box. Easy to set up. Works as expected. Print speed is a bit slow. Quality of print is good.

    So far so good. Wish ink cartridges had more bang for the buck, but otherwise works well so far.

    Great quality. Only lasted 3 years. Pros: Print quality was good. I only used it for documents. Black & White and color on plain paper. Printed some large 2 sided documents 50+ pages. That went smoothly. Cons: The screen is small and hard to read. The on-screen menu is not intuitive. It stopped printing after 3 years. All other functions still work. Summary: I didn't use it very often, so per print job this was a really expensive printer.

    I have had gook luck so far with this printer I bought it nearly two years ago when it was only $150! I use genuine Brother ink and run maintenance on the print heads regularly. I print mostly in black, but I am an amateur photo printer, and using quality photo paper, I have been very happy with the color results. It was easy to set up. I get notified by Brother for driver updates occasionally, so I do that. Overall, I'm very happy with this printer.
