Hours of Research. This review will tell it all.
I did a LOT of research before choosing this printer. The printers i was considering buying: Brother DCPL2540DW MFC-J5920DW MFC-J985DW MFC-J985DW XL I was thinking about all the options. Do i need color? black and white? Should i go for Ink or Laser? First off, if you are trying to get a black and white printer, i would go with a a brother laser printer. It looked like it prints fast and the high yield toner allows 2 cents per black and white page. The thing that dumbfounded me was the INKvestment Technology that was released with Brother's Inkjet printers. They boast less than 1 cent per black and white and less than 5 cents per color page. Doing the calculation based on how much the INKvestment ink is right now it came out to 0.7 cents per page for black and white. You have to be careful though! There are many different printers from Brother that are "Ink Efficient" but make sure you pick one that has "INKvestment" technology so it can reap benefits of high yield efficiency with its ink printing. I have read the reviews of other people saying the "Colors are faded" but that has to do mostly with the Settings they used. Last night, i literally printed a photo from our wedding on glossy photo paper and couldn't be happier with it. Of course it is not as high quality as getting it professionally printed, but for "at-home" use and printing for kids projects, i couldn't be happier. the ONLY draw back would be the Printing Speed. It is much slower than i would have wanted, but I do not run a at home business and only print for the convenience and occasional projects for kids so it really serves that purpose. If you want to get something that prints faster and has all the same benefits, i would go for the MFC-J5920DW. I didnt get the XL version of this printer because the two extra packs of ink would only cost an extra $10 based on market value of the ink being offered. Didn't seem to be worth it RIGHT NOW. especially with the possibility of ink prices going down, it may not be worth it at all really. I highly recommend this printer for at home and would have really liked a printer like this for college. being $150 and comes with a set of INKvestment high yield ink.... i don't think you can choose a better printer. If you have any questions regarding my experience, leave a comment, i will try my best to respond
