This is HIGH PRAISE compared to the 6 other printers I've owned over the last 5 years (1 Brother laser, 1 Samsung, 4 HP's; only the Brother laser is still in use; to be fair, one of the HP inkjets still functions, but I have chosen to stop paying $60 every 4 months for ink). In looking for a replacement color printer, my search criteria were high-capacity ink cartridges, fax capability, ADF (auto document feeder) for scanning, and networkability. (Ideally, installation would be automated and wouldn't load my computer with megabytes of software that I didn't want...sigh). I first looked at the Brother MFC-490CW which, on sale, would have been 60% of the price of the MFC-5890CN. Second, I looked at the HP J6480 AIO. I am at the end of my rope with HP printers (I could write pages on this) but it looked at it for 2 reasons: (1) 2 different sales people at 2 different stores said over and over that the HP...Read more 27 of 27 people found the following review helpful:  Great, affordable, multi-use printer, By The Taminator "There's no going back.

This review is from: Brother MFC-5890CN Professional-Series Color Inkjet All-in-One with Networking and Large-Size Printing (Office Product) We run a small design company from our dining room. With space a premium, we needed an all-in-one fax, copier and printer, and the price on this one was very attractive. We had a Brother already, but we needed 11 x 17 prints in house to have for our customers. Unpacking didn't take long. It includes a cord to plug into your phone line, but it probably will be too short for most users. We plugged it in and ran a couple of test prints with no problem-- the quality was just like the test prints on the display model. The software for this loaded and did everything it was supposed to do, but it took 30-40 minutes to install. I didn't install this on a slow computer, either. I don't know how much hard drive space it takes. After the epic installation process, printing from the computer was more than satisfactory for us in both speed and quality. I don't know if I would use this as my main photo printer; we haven't tried it with photo paper, and don't have much need for that...Read more 23 of 26 people found the following review helpful:  Multi-page copying problems, for starters, By This review is from: Brother MFC-5890CN Professional-Series Color Inkjet All-in-One with Networking and Large-Size Printing (Office Product) I bought this printer largely because of the good reviews and the 11x17 printing capability which comes in handy quite often.
I was NOT impressed with the text quality; could not print out a resume that looked good enough, even on the best quality setting. On a side note, quality settings below "normal" are pretty low quality - too low for legible emails, etc. I'm not sure who would ever want to use them to save ink, as you'll be more frustrated with illegible prints. When attempting to make multi-page copies using the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), the copies can be sorted (which is to be expected) but the pages print out in REVERSE ORDER!! I checked to make sure I fed the originals properly (face up), went through ALL of the settings, and also called Technical Support - all with NO solutions. The only solution offered by Support was to put my originals in "reverse order"!! Yeah, with a 30-page document - I DON'T THINK SO! For printing multi-page documents...Read more |
