Buy this machine! If you are in the market for an office printer this BROTHER MFC-J220 should fit the bill. I wanted a photo printer primarily, but also wanted to have the capability to FAX, SCAN, COPY and make phone calls. This does all that and yes, rather bloody well! I have a BROTHER HL-5140 laser printer also and this has never failed me. So I thought, why not buy a reliable photo printer of the same elk? GOOD DECISION!

The unit is very stylish in black and the controls are all well thought out. It is so easy to set up and use I felt tickled. Software is included so you can link your computer with the printer in a very painless fashion. BROTHER, like all the competition, doesn''t include a USB cord so you''ll need to buy your own USB cord, but it''s easy to install and inexpensive to buy.

The long and short is this. You can insert your SD chip and preview and select the photos you wish to download. You can vary the brightness and quality of the image using the keyboard. THE PHOTO QUALITY IS COMPARABLE TO WHAT YOU''LL GET AT THE LOCAL DRUG STORE. Nice, rich colours and sharp images. The unit has four different colour ink jets, so you can replace each one individually and this will save you a bunch of money. The ink jets aren''t expensive, compared to what it costs to replace laser print cartridges. What I like, too, is that you can print photos from your computer/laptop/netbook. You can enhance their colour, contrast and hue with a program BROTHER provides with the package called FACEFILTER STUDIO. You''ll get the look your looking for and if you''re creative you''ll even have fun doing it. And if you''re concerned about the racket some of these printers make, don''t worry, it is very quiet and and won''t wake up the neighbours.

What else? The scanner is fantastic. Images are crystal clear and so easy to capture. You can enter them into your computer for viewing. The fax is great, too. Receive and send faxes and capture these to your computer''s memory. Very easy and the machine uses standard 8 1/2 x 11 paper (no need to purchase special fax "rolls").

What''s the downside? You''ll have to buy photo paper (not included). The paper tray assembly is very fragile plastic and you best be very ginger with it or else! It is not a WIRELESS unit, so you must direct wire it (but by golly, how many customer reviews have I read where connecting to the wireless is a fate worse than death? Rather not mess with that, anyhow). And the scanner will not work with legal size documents, letter size only. No big deals, these.

Let me say for a hundred smackers, and AMAZON picked up the cost of handling and shipping (THANK YOU AMAZON!) I truly believe you''ll be pleased if you have a home office and need the casual use of a photoprinter/copier/fax/scanner. I am tickled pink at how good this machine is. Hope you are too!

This is the best printer I have ever purchased for several reasons.

1. Cheap! I am currently a college student in my own apartment with my girlfriend who is in med school. We print over 150 pages a month and our ink tends to last at least 3+ months. We have found ink cartridges for around $14 for a 12 pack of color and black cartridges. The normal computer paper costs more then the ink which in my experience never happens.

2. This printer is reliable. It has not jammed since I have owned it for 2 years and it prints relatively fast compared to all previous printers I have ever owned.

3. Convenient! You can print from any room in our apartment because it runs through your WiFi. It was very easy to set up. Less then 5 min.

4. Copy and Scans documents well. The copy is standalone and does not require the printer, the LCD screen reads SD memory cards, and the scanner can works wireless as well.

5. Looks nice and does not stand out. It is in our living room and its hard to tell its even there.

I am only writing this review for how impressed I am with this machine.

We bought the MFC-J220 less than a year ago because it was small and was able to fit into our motorhome with no problem. We don''t use a printer all that much, but as lots of other people will tell ya, it''s best to have one around when ya need it. It worked well with the test page and a couple of other things we printed, then it sat for a few days. When we tried to print again, it said it was out of yellow ink. As we''d bought extra ink, it wasn''t that much of a problem, but we couldn''t understand why it why it would need ink that fast. Turns out that it leaks ink with the ink going into the bottom of the printer and eventually overflowing out of it. Thought maybe this was due to us moving, but we didn''t move the motorhome for weeks and had to replace two yellow cartridges.

I am very happy with my purchase. I wanted a back-up printer to my MFC6490CW so it was important that the back-up printer used the same print cartridges. This unit is very compact and does a beautiful print job and has a very good print speed. All the controls are nicely laid out. I am very happy with this purchase.

If your looking for a good little printer that does what the company says it will do, this one will work for you. Admittedly, I haven''t tried the fax feature yet, but if it''s like the rest of the machine it''ll set-up and work easily. Printed plain paper pictures very well, text is clear and the scanner, well, it scanned!
