Pros & Cons
Pros
The brothers all-in-one printer has 2 full sized paper trays as well as a large multi-sheet multimedia feeder that functions like a third paper tray in the back. The scanner has a tiny loss of scannable area if you push the paper right up to the edge.... Read More
It prints very fast, the scanner is quick & quiet, it does duplex scanning as well as duplex printing. It prints 11x17 duplex seamlessly, and the print is great.
One thing you will never have to worry about is someone stealing it. The only thing i don’t like is that i cannot change which profile will be the default.
Cons
Brother ink is grossly overpriced for far less ink then you get from the bottles the other companies offer at a fraction of the price. There is at least 50% of the ink left the in cartridge but the printer can no longer detect it and refuses to print.... Read More
After 18 months of owning this door stop, i'm done. This is a high-end multipurpose business printer that doesn't do anything well. And the factory warranty only covers 2 years.

The device is monstrous in size. It is not compatible with macos 11. Brother support is questionable at best.
Scanning is very average at best as well, a lot of artifacts and looked kinda meh. No twain option for photoshop 32-bit to get access to twain scanning. No photoshop app for 64-bit on win10 and win11 is wia, and that scan software is garbage, not user... Read More
Highlights
Quality
The print quality is fine for my needs as a designer: mainly drafts of 11 x 17 presentation documents and a normal volume of 8.
So easy to set up, and excellent speed an print quality.
Slow and the quality of color prints no to good in general for tabloid print ok
As for the print quality - it's not a photo printer.
Price
I am glad i found this one by brother, much more cost effect for the at home office.
Packaging/appearance
Keep the heavy plastic bag it comes in for an ideal protective cover, not just just a random packaging bag.
Competitiveness
Love the print quality of this large scale 11x17 printer.
So much better than my previous hp printer.
Used to buy xerox, but they have steadily gone downhill.
Purchased this 11x17 format printer to print half size floor plans.

This printer prints excellent however we did not get around to testing the scanner and realizing it did not work until the return policy expired

We placed a warranty claim but almost a year later the parts are still back ordered according to a local brother printer service provider
