INKvestment Tank Color All in One Printer for Small Business with 11 x 17 in Scanning, Wireless Printing, and Triple Layer Security - Up to 1-Year of Ink Included (MFC-J6955DW)

Do not buy if you are looking for a space saving printer - this one is big. For the money, however, the features and performance so far are terrific. Printing is very fast, and the quality is super. No issue getting onto my 5G home network. Scanning is impressive, and even has ability to scan directly to your mobile device or cloud. I had it scan receipts directly to my phone as a PDF, and also directly into Google Drive - it created it's own folder. You an even create shortcuts for the most used feature with settings. It's going to take me a while to explore all of the features. For the cost of just over $400, I do not feel there is anything else that compares for a small home office setup. Previously had another brank "tank" printer, and had nothing but connection issues back to my PC. Seemed every time I wanted to scan, I had to unplug printer and reboot PC. So far, Brother seems to be flawless - even from sleep mode. Will see how long the ink lasts - did a few prints on 11 x 17 as well as borderless - much better than my previous printer. Purchased this one with my own $$ - no free product - I am an actual user, and so far it's nothing but thumbs up. To me, the quality of construction, materials, screen and just fit and finish is on par with more traditional Office grade equipment versus just a "home" printer.

I was unsure about these printers upon first purchase, but was surprised. They are well built and easy to install (listen up HP). I have been a long time user of HP as I have not had many quality issues and have used some models for years beyond end of life. With this Brother printer, I have not run into the issue like I have with recent HP printers where they work fine for a week then stop, requiring reboots of computers, printers, reinstall of drivers, or updating configuration of ports. I also have had them in service for longer than the warranty period. My main reason to use HP was they did not need replacing within a month of the warranty running out, like I have with other manufactures . The main reason I needed this printer was the large bed scanning and printing, not many on the market that print/scan 11x17. For that they are great and I am impressed with them. I would recommend this where a large bed printer is needed.

There came a time when I needed a workhorse scanner/printer and I did my research and found this one. It does everything well. I use it 98% for scanning documents and 2% for printing, replacing my Canon printer. This unit is big and heavy but it's a winner. This would be a good unit for an office but I use it at home.

Literally unboxed the printer and set it up three hours ago... Setup was very quick and easy. Afterall this is my third MFC-J69--DW printer, so I am very well aware of how it works. My first was the 6935, which I bought in July 2018 when I started my business. My second was 6945, which I bought a year later so that I also had a printer when I worked from home. I used the 6935 maybe a few times a week at most, so the printer nozzles clogged frequently. After having to clean the printer nozzles for the millionth time and wasting tons of ink, the printer finally told me that the ink absorption pad was full and that I would need to get the printer serviced by a professional. So, time for a new printer. ... and I have cleaned the print heads more than a dozen times now. I had to hit the ground running tonight, printing several pages to have hardcopy back-ups of my work, but the printing quality just will not keep up. I printed several invoices after initial setup without any problem. Then I printed several time sheets which were just bad. Cleaned the heads twice. Printed the time sheets, and they looked good. Then I had to print out a few jobs (2 B&W letters, 1 set B&W pdf blueprint drawings), and I had to print EACH JOB TWICE, cleaning the heads between each attempt. Just tried printing another invoice (B&W, just words and numbers on a page). Had to clean the heads (not just the black, but also the magenta, cyan, and yellow for some reason). "The Print Quality Check Sheet" came back with no flaws. Tried printing the invoice again. Just horrible. Had to clean all four heads again. Check sheet is flawless. Let's try one more time. F***. Worse than the first two times. The ink cartridges that came with the printer are already nearly empty. Okay, one last try. Heads are clean, according to the Check Sheet. Not holding my breath. Holy s***, it worked. Finally! This paragraph, this one paragraph, was for a single, one-page invoice. I am returning this thing. I cannot afford to waste not just money on ink but time on cleaning the heads over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. Does anyone have a recommendation for a color printer/copier/scanner that can print 8.5x11 AND 11x17, and has a space for #10 (Com10) envelopes?

I’ve had this Brother inkvestment printer since December 2024, and I couldn’t be happier with its performance. As of now, I still haven’t had to replace the ink, which is honestly impressive and a huge cost saver. The print quality is superb—clean, sharp, and consistent every time. I use it regularly, and it has been extremely reliable. I haven’t experienced a single paper jam or mechanical issue since owning it, which says a lot about the build quality. Overall, this has been a fantastic printer: dependable, efficient, and economical. If you’re looking for a high-quality printer that just works without constant maintenance, this one is absolutely worth it. Five stars all the way.

I've only used the printer to print out a couple of examples in 8 1/2" x 11" and 11" x 17". The printer is really fast on the 8 1/2" x 11", and a little slower for the 11" x 17". Please be careful on the size in the description. If you plan on using it for a lot of 11" x 17" printing you will need an additional 4 1/2" to 5". To load 11" x 17" paper the #2 tray is expandable. Also note the manual feed tray is on the back of the unit, and will require an additional 3" to use. Loading the cartridges is a very simple affair, and is done from the front. I haven't used the scanning function yet. Attaching it to Wi-Fi was very easy.

It has all of the features that I wanted for my home office including, a huge paper input capacity (500 sheets in 2 trays), a rear paper feed for off-size paper (e.g., photo, legal, etc.), huge ink cartridges that are claimed to last up to a year(?), high capacity auto-feed copier and scanner, solid, reliable wi-fi connectivity. And it prints almost immediately when you hit the print button and prints each page very fast. Minor negatives: The unit is a bit bigger than what you'd expect in a home office. Also, the photo print is acceptable but not as good as the Epson photo printer I previously owned.

Over 6 months use and this is hands down the best inkjet printer. The ink capacity is huge and print clarity is awesome. The software is also the best I've had and rivals my old epson machines.
