Review on 🖨️ Brother MFC-J491DW Wireless All-in-One Inkjet Printer – Color Duplex Mobile Printing by Vedavyas Fleming

Do not buy this printer and I recommend reading about other brands, period. It only exists to stealthily siphon off unused ink and shut down the entire machine whenever it wants until you put in another cartridge. This isn't just an exaggeration of angry commentators. Reviews for this printer seemed to be generally positive when we first bought it. Immediately after the purchase, bad business practices began to circulate. There are certainly many test reports with this information, but the more the better.1. This printer sucks ink intermittently as part of its "maintenance schedule". Even if nothing is printed, it will be empty in a few months. Where that ink actually goes remains a mystery.2. The printer won't print (!) after seemingly arbitrarily deciding that it has run out of ink. Who knows how many pages of ink are left in the cartridge. Up to this point, everything still prints black. The machine has decided that you should buy more ink now.3. We may have printed the original test image with arbitrary color inks, and now, after a few months, cyan and magenta inks "run out" and yellow "run out". At this point, black and white mode will be activated, unless of course four weeks have passed or you don't unplug the printer (as I did to circumvent its militancy. In fact, the device doesn't even have " Allow me to turn it off). ), or you chose the wrong paper type, or threw too many bombs your way. At this point, you won't even be able to print in black and white until you replace the color cartridge. (We don't currently have these, as we never use color prints however we do have a lot of black ink on hand and really need to print those 20 pages) This particular episode was a great reminder of something I forgot to give feedback on Revain I'm sorry I gave this We didn't know about quirks before we bought the printer.They are not function oriented but refer to the worst example of a predatory business practice that is now infamous and on the printer market is seemingly ubiquitous – getting customers to buy more ink, more often. We will not buy again. products brother.
