Home Office All in One Print/Scan/Copy recommendations

My Brother MFC-9325 CW sounds like it's chewing glass when it runs the last couple of days and the copy quality has been horrid lately.

I am looking to replace it. Requirements are:
- Wireless
- Sheetfed scanning for multiple-page documents (no flatbed scanning)
- Color
- 100+ pages of paper holding, more is better
- Good quality....duh.....

Brother replacement cartridges are expensive and with time, subpar in quality.

If it does two sided printing, great, but not necessary. I'd like to keep it reasonable. I know I can drop $1K for something good, but its not needed.

Thanks in advance.

 

I keep buying Brother printers. Haven’t found anything that works as well since the LaserJetIII.

Consumables are spendy for any color laser, which is why I keep a B&W laser for the volume/workhorse stuff along with the MFC that hits all the requirements you listed (and IIRC, that printer is 6 years old).

 

+1 on Brother laser printers. That's all I've bought since I threw my last POS inkjet in the garbage 10 years ago.

Have a MFC-J6555DW in my office

 

I have 3 Brother laser printers/scanners here at work and they have performed well. In the past 6 months I bought a new HP color laser for home and it was difficult to properly connect to the WiFi and make scanning/printing work. It would lose connection after turning off the computer.

After messing with it for a few days and contacting support too, I returned it and put in a new Brother MFC. Worked without an issue.

Is that better, @HPPT ?

 

I've had a Brother MFC-J5945DW for a few years now and find it to be good for everything except photo scanning. Colors are really washed out when scanning photos. Document scanning isn't so bad as long as you're not too worried about color fidelity. Two paper trays, can easily hold 200 sheets per tray, very fast output for documents, slower for photos. Wireless, has a sheet feeder that works quite well and the ink cartridges last a looooong time (1500 pages for color, 3000 for black). It does tend to need the jets cleaned if I haven't used it in awhile, but it seems to be able to clean them well and be ready for action. I don't do a ton of printing with it so I do end up having to clean it quite often. But I've only had to replace the ink cartridges once.

I bought a cheapo Epson perfection V39 for photo scanning and it really is the bomb diggity when it comes to photos. But... it's a flatbed glass scanner.

 

You need to capitalize that, man.

 

I have three Brother printers in my office. They all are workhorses. The page count on my oldest MFC is 78,146 pages and still going strong. The only HP copier I have is a large format copier for 30x42 drawings. If brother made one I would have bought it instead.

 

Epson Ecotank (not sure of the number at this moment). Haven't added ink in 16 months after several reams of paper. No problems.

 

Brother is great as mentioned.

My latest Canon is pretty decent for the price. Only does one side scanning though through the sheet feeder. TR8620a

 

I pulled the trigger and got another brother based on the responses.

Thanks all.

Brother MFC-L3780CDW

 

We have always used Brother printers for doing the STT registration - I feel they are the most durable printer I’ve ever used - we beat the shit out of them.

 

Just ordered the same. Daughter has been bugging me for years and tomorrow is her birthday. I've been 100% satisfied with the B&W Brother all in one laser we have had for 8 years.
