19 of 20 people found the following review helpful:  Disappointing printer, By IT Atty (East Windsor, NJ USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Brother MFC-5860cn Color Photo Inkjet All-in-One Flatbed with Networking with 2nd paper tray (Office Product) From the specs, this Brother multi-function printer has a lot going for it. In the home or workplace, it falls far short.
I use this printer in a busy home office. After two months of heavy use, here are my thoughts and obervations on it: Printer: The specs say up to 30 ppm (pages per minute) b&w, 25ppm color. After it warms up, I'd say it never went above 10 ppm even in b&w. Even on its highest quality, it disappoints. Text is clearly legible, but not something I'd feel good about showing a client. Color is woefully slow, and lacks both richness and clarity. Scanner: From a mechanical perspective, both the ADF and the flatbed actually work quite nicely. However, the old version of Paperport that it includes is slow, and creates HUGE files. OCR quality isn't worth using. I purchased ReadIRIS separately, and have been delighted with its speed and accuracy on this MFC. Fax: Works well. Could use more menu detail...Read more 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful:  Brother MFC-5860cn Color Photo Inkjet All-in-One Flatbed with Networking with 2nd paper tray, By This review is from: Brother MFC-5860cn Color Photo Inkjet All-in-One Flatbed with Networking with 2nd paper tray (Office Product) In my businesses I print invoices and shipping labels concurrently and needed an affordable network printer with 2 paper trays so I did not have to change paper all the time. While searching for a network printer with dual paper trays I saw that owners of the Brother MFC_5860cn gave the printer very high ratings on cost, reliability, ease of use and actual English speaking live support. The only rating that was lower than the competition was print quality compared to the HP that cost $300 dollars more. I bought the printer and use it heavily for a busy home based business. The Brother MFC-5860cn has handled the job superbly. It is affordable to buy ink and I can now print invoices, sales letters, and labels from any of the workstations in the network. The fax has performed flawlessly on our VOIP phone system, and the excellent scanner and Color/B&W copier with 35 sheet feeder is a bonus that would be hard to do without once you've used it. I only use the OCR for mailing list/labels...Read more 12 of 14 people found the following review helpful:  fairly satisfied - not so much anymore, By zolo (NY, NY United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Brother MFC-5860cn Color Photo Inkjet All-in-One Flatbed with Networking with 2nd paper tray (Office Product) I've been looking for a new printer for a while, and finally settled on this one. Fairly satistfied with the result. The printer is solidly built, print quality is very good to excellent, networking was extremely easy, fax and copy work well, and the 250 sheet second paper tray is great. Also, the Mac support is superior -which after many years of dealing with sub-par and bloated HP OS X drivers is a welcome change. Criticisms: a little slow; there is no built-in color LCD for previewing pictures when printing directly from a memory card (you have to print an index sheet and then manually key-in the number of the pic you want to print); and photo quality is okay but not great. (visible banding and colors look dull). Overall though, great printer.
UPDATE 3/3/08: well, after close to a year of reasonable performance, my first serious paper jam damaged the print head alignment, and I discovered (much to my dismay) that this machine is essentially not user-serviceable. Print...Read more |
