The Brother MFC-J995DW ink investment tank all-in-one printer is a great choice for small and home offices with moderate print and copy volumes. It has two features that are uncommon among its rivals: automatic two-sided printing and the ability to print from and scan to a variety of memory media. Additionally, the printer’s running expenses are not the lowest available, making it an excellent choice for those who want the best value for their money.

Brother INKvestment MFC-J995DW review: Design

The TS9120’s colour touch screen is easier to use because it has a 45-degree upward tilt on the front control panel. This makes it easier to fit entries that need a full QWERTY keyboard on the screen, like those for Wi-Fi passwords. However, selections were more challenging for my fingertips because the touch screen generally worked well for other menu selections. The Canon Pixma TS9120 is our current Editors’ Choice, and has a panel that is tilted upward 90 degrees if you plan to lay the device on a low table. ..

The front panel of the ASUS RT-N10 has a SD card slot and a USB memory connector. The SD card slot is located on the lower left side of the panel, and the USB memory connector is located on the front panel’s lower right side. Three options are presented when a USB flash drive is inserted: photo, scan to media, and online. Although you can scan documents in the PDF format to a thumb drive or an SD Card, you can only print JPEGs from a thumb drive.

The USB and Ethernet ports are located inside the body, which is different from other devices where the ports are on the outside. To access them, you must lift the scanning glass. This winding path to the port consumes around 1.6 feet of cable, so you’ll need a long cable. Additionally, neither the Quick Setup Guide nor the reference manual indicate where these ports are located. The fax instructions are included in the setup guide, but there are no USB or Ethernet instructions. ..

The Brother iPrint & Scan application is not working properly with glossy media.

Connectivity

The Brother MFC-J995DW is a great printer that offers excellent connectivity possibilities. It can be quickly installed thanks to its NFC capabilities, and using it will start the Brother app on mobile devices. Additionally, you can print directly from an SD card or USB key. The addition of NFC also makes it simple to set up and print from a smartphone. WiFi direct printing is beneficial.

This printer is perfect for sharing with others and quickly coupling up so everyone may print at once. Additionally helpful is Brother Cloud Connect, which provides remote printing assistance for scanning from email, the cloud, fax, and Microsoft Office applications. This works with services like OneDrive, Evernote, Box, Dropbox, and Google Drive. You can print via Apple AirPrint, Google Cloud Print, Mopria, and a few other services thanks to third-party support.

Setup and software

The all-in-one printer is easy to set up and use. The ink cartridges are larger than those for most consumer inkjet printers, and the printer is compatible with Windows 10 computers. However, when we installed the printer software on a Windows 10 computer, we had printing issues because Windows created a duplicate printer profile that caused a conflict. ..

The printer did not instantly appear on a Mac running Sierra (10.12), so we used the DVD-ROM, which directed me to the Brother support website to complete the download and installation. Apart from those little issues, setup was simple. Directions were simple to follow and prompts were clear. It was simple to connect the gadget to my wifi network. For a direct connection to a mobile device, the MFC-J995DW supports NFC, AirPrint, Wi-Fi Direct, Google Cloud Print, and Wi-Fi Direct. From a mobile device you may print, scan, copy, and fax using Android software iPrint&Scan. You can also check the ink level. ..

Brother INKvestment MFC-J995DW review: Print speeds

This inkjet prints black text at a rate of 20 pages per minute (ppm), color graphics at 10.2 ppm, and manages a mind-blowing five images per minute (ipm) when printing color graphics on both sides.

This MFP also has the ability to multitask, such as scanning to one PC and printing from another. The MFC-scan J5945DW’s quality isn’t the best we’ve seen, but papers were more than adequate for office use, even though photographs were too dark and had a subtle aqua tint. Duplex scans and copies are quick thanks to the ADF’s ability to scan both sides in a single pass, which also reduces the likelihood of a paper jam.

The printer was easy to set up and use, with clear instructions. The print quality was excellent, with particularly strong black text. While photographs aren’t really this printer’s strong suit, photocopies were a touch discolored but still usable for most purposes. ..

The Brother MFC-J995DW is a printer that is able to print text documents at a speed of 10.3 pages per minute, which is significantly faster than the 8.7 ppm average for this category. You’ll receive 4.9 pages per minute for combined text and images, above the average of 2.7 ppm. In fact, this produces two-sided prints more quickly than the typical model can produce a single side. On glossy paper, photo prints take four minutes and six seconds, which is over a minute quicker than the standard rate.

The Brother MFC-J995DW is a great printer that produces high quality output in all areas, including text, graphics, and photographs. It is also very quick and easy to use. Images display a great deal of information because they are rich, well-saturated colors, text is sharp and dark, glossy photo prints are accurate with fine textures, well-saturated colors, and loads of minute details. Copies and scans fall under the same category as the Brother MFC-J995DW. Only printing from an Android phone can be problematic.

Copy and scan speed

The MFC-J995DW is a fast and reliable copy machine that can cover up with a color copy in 15.1 seconds. It is also tested and approved to be able to copy black and white photos quickly.

The Brother MFC-J995DW is the quickest color copier in its class, and it was also the fastest to copy text. ..

The resolution and color depth of the photos are excellent. Although it has an automatic document feeder, it is unfortunate that it cannot perform two-sided scans like the Epson WorkForce WF-7720. ..

Brother INKvestment MFC-J995DW review: Performance

The MFC-J5945DW is a printer that is noticeably faster than the WorkForce WF-7710DWF. It costs about £200 less, and offers duplex A3 prints and copies and A3+ prints.

Price and availability

The Brother MFC-J995DW is a reasonable price for an all-in-one printer. It also has the INKvestment tank technology, which sets it apart from other printers. This printer can print 3,000 pages from a single cartridge, which is impressive. ..

The printer is more reasonably priced than many printers that use ordinary ink cartridges.

When it comes to ink economy, the majority of its rivals are not even close. ..
