Good bargain for all the features, put weak print quality

bynjmedic Jan 1, 2005
14 Helpfuls 15 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 3 Comments
Pros Multifunction capability, network capable, easy to use software, low cost
Cons Mediocre print quality, high-res scans take FOREVER....
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this all-in-one as I identified a need for a fax machine in my home office, and my laser printer (an HP LaserJet 6L which lasted 10 years) was finally dying. I opted for the MFC-420CN mostly due to its networkability which is virtually unheard of in this price range. I read some great... Read full review »

Space-saving, versatile, but slow

Pros Good color printing, versatile fax functions, compact size, easy scanning
Cons SLOW printing, poor copy quality
Recommended it? No

I bought the MFC-420CN after reading a number of reviews. I needed a scanner, and my fax machine was ancient (thermal paper), so I thought a multipurpose machine would be a useful addition and would also allow me to print in color (I already have a black-and-white laser printer that I use for most...

Be ready to feed this printer your money over and over again

Pros NONE. NADA. ZILCH
Cons Read above. Every bit about this printer is a CON.
Recommended it? No

This printer has been designed to make you buy ink so frequently you will not know what hit you. Spend a few more bucks now and get a Dell.
These printers (yes all inkjets that Brother makes) run out of ink very quick. They come with 4 cartridges and you would think that if you run out of... Read full review »

Pros Very cheap to maintain,Good print quality,Excelent price,Made in America
Cons None
Recommended it? Yes

First of all this review is going to be quite different from the others I have read. I am going to start by saying that the other reviews on this site are quite accurate to a point, it is a ink hog but the cartridges are refillable and if you use bulk ink refill kits I can assure you it is one of...

Cons Equipment stops printing even when only 1 color is out.
Recommended it? Yes

Now this is a great office machine with all the functions I need in my busy life!
I used to have an Epson Stylus Color 880, but I got this piece of equipment because my husband was tired of sending faxes through computer software and wonder if it would actually arrive at it's destination. At... Read full review »

Low price, many features, small, good value

Pros Network ready, low price, looks great on desk, small, many features, no PC functions.
Cons jams fairly easy, inkjet is poor quality, No 3D object scanning
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased this Brother MFC unit because we use larger Brother MFC at my main job, which we print documents in the six digits per month. I was fairly impressed by the quality of these units at work so I was under the impression that the small/home models would be similar to the ones we use at... Read full review »

Pros Easy to use, nice compact machine, sleek and has lots of function for the price.
Cons The print quality is awful, machine is slow.
Recommended it? No

I purchased this printer because I wanted the all-in-one features. However, the quality of the print was very poor. As well the paper tray was flimsy and seemed to jam easily. Read full review »

No cartridge or out of ink!

Pros cheap
Cons cheap...you will waste a lot of money on ink because it never senses them right...
Recommended it? No

I thought this was a great machine at first but now it would make a great doorstop! The ink sensors just stink....you can have half of a cartridge of ink left and it will still say out of ink! It also says "no cartridge" when of course there is a cartridge in it! You can even switch out several... Read full review »

Cons I replace my (4) inks once every month.
Recommended it? Yes

I have owned and used the Brother MFC 420cn for a full year now and I have no regrets. This sleek design all in one does it all from faxes to copies, to scanning, to photograph printing... it truly is a great all-in-one machine to own. It is worth your money although it is very inexpensive. Why... Read full review »

Worst ever due to stupid ink management

bytmspecial Jul 3, 2005
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful? 1 Comment
Pros - built-in Ethernet interface - automatic feeder
Cons - scanner doesn't work over Ethernet - stops working when one ink cartridge is empty
Recommended it? No

I recommend NOT to buy this unit.
The reason for this is, that as soon as one ink cartridge is low (not even empty), the unit stops working. On their website Brother mentions that it was designed that way to ensure quality printouts and protect the heads. In my opinion the only reason is to... Read full review »
