Customer Review: Cheap to run - works well
Summary: 4 Stars
In a small office environment, this has got to be about the least expensive fax/printer to run.
The printer does go through cleaning cycles periodically, and if you don't use your printer often, you might be better off with something else. But look at the ink cost before deciding.
We're getting compatible ink for under $2 per tank. (the tank type is LC41) The savings on ink in the first year compared to our Canon bubblejet fax more than paid for the Brother. We've taken to using it for routine office printing too - it's actually cheaper to run than our laser.
We're using roughly 5 tanks of black and 2 or 3 of each color in a typical year in a small office environment where we typically print a few hundred pages a month. At $2 per tank, that works out to less than $30 per year, or less than a penny per page.
One glitch is a few times a month, my computer looses contact with the brother, and I need to reboot the computer. (my computer is on 24/7) I don't know if the problem is in the computer or the printer.
We've never used the scanner function, but we have used it as a color copier. The normal quality mode is much faster than the best quality mode for copying, and is fine for things like copying letters and forms.
The normal print quality is fine for typical household, school or business printing. If you're looking for professional quality printing for photos, you'll do better with a dedicated photo printer, but the "fine" and "photo" settings do surprisingly well.
After 18 months, the printer is still going well, and if something happened to it, I'd buy another in a heartbeat.
