DCP-J1200W

I have been through quite a few printers over the years, including HP, Canon and Epson. This Brother printer is better than all of them. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles, it just produces reasonable quality prints reliably and with no fuss. Installation was reasonably straight forward and wifi setup no problem. I use non genuine replacement cartridges from a company called Refresh Cartridges in Torquay, which are much cheaper than OEM cartridges and work perfectly. Having said that. the life of the cartridges that came with the printer was pretty good and OEM cartridges are a little bit cheaper than those from the likes of HP and Canon. The paper feed has thus far been faultless, an area where my last Epson printer was useless! Overall, very happy. Brother is probably a less well known brand than the others, but in my opinion the produce a better product overall,

Brother DCP-J1200W - if you want a low cost, no fuss, printer for small volume printing its excellent. Delivered next day, unboxed, inserted print cartridges, powered on, pressed the WPS button on a BT router, working in under 30mins: printing from an iMac, Win11, an old iPad, and Samsung phone (no app needed): surprised at how easy the process was. If you get really stuck you can use a USB cable (not supplied) to connect to a Windows PC. It will do double sided, envelopes, etc: it can get fiddly, but to be honest if are doing a lot of these you should be looking at a more expensive printer that caters for that. Its reasonably fast, fairly quite, small footprint, big paper tray, print cartridges easy to install, good quality print: for the cost its Excellent value.

I went for this because it had good writeups. However, it isn't as good as my old Epson Stylus. It's a lot of faffing about getting paper in and out or if you want to print an envelope. It was a lot simpler with the Epson. But this is what I've got so I'll live with it. It does print fast and well.

Bought to replace yet another HP printer which stopped working and wouldn’t connect to WiFi. Thought I’d take a chance with Brother brand as wasn’t going to get another HP, and have to say I’m converted! Excellent quality printer, easy to set up and after months of use have had no issues with connectivity or constant maintenance which the HP seemed to have. Prints immediately every time from both phone and laptop. Still using the ink that was supplied with it so another plus point over HP printer which seemed to drink ink and was therefore costly to run. Have printed a lot so very impressed with ink capacity. Would definitely recommend this printer, I won’t be going back to HP or indeed Canon or Epson printers both of which I’ve had over the years and cost a fortune in ink/ aren’t reliable. Brother is the way forward, very happy

Initially bought as a cheap second home printer. It prints fine. But it constantly shuts down and sleeps , which cannot be turned off, so you have to physically turn it back on again. I suspect we are unlucky but the printer and the app connection is flaky at best- and non existent most of the time. I cannot update the firmware as the app will not connect to the device - even with the correct password. The lack of clear display and sign poting to the web page all the time is infuriating so it is going back. Buy somethinh else , you will just thrwo this out of the window ...

I bought this printer last year in October 2022 to replace our old printer (either an Epson or a Kodak), and I'm so happy I finally bought a Brother printer, because it's been rock solid reliable. It's still running on the ink that came in the box with it, and yet still has like 70% ink left, and prints both documents, photos, and artwork perfectly without any faded colours or streaks etc. - without me having cleaned the heads or any other maintenance that you normally have to do with other printers My only complaint is that it was a bit awkward to setup at first with the WiFi, iirc I had to connect it to a computer to actually get it on the Wi-Fi, but once connected, everything else has been perfect. I usually print from my iPhone using their Brother Mobile Connect app or the built-in Print menu on iOS. It's certainly a little basic compared to other printers, no fancy display, and just 4 buttons or so - but with how reliable it's been, I can't complain much. Overall, it's been SOOOO much more reliable than the previous Kodak/Epson printers we had, always connects to the WiFi without complaints, never had a paper jam, only had maybe a single print come out a bit wrong out of the 100s of prints, and the ink seems to last a very long time (so far still going after over a year with the original came-in-box ink) 9.5/10 - best printer I've ever bought in terms of reliability

Nightmare to set up and the app you have to use is terrible but it prints well, eventually.

It is great easy set up. Great prices, good quality

Great

J’en suis ravie ! Vitesse d’impression et qualité superbe je ne regrette pas mon achat

Works well
