Review on πŸ–¨οΈ Brother MFC-J491DW Wireless All-in-One Inkjet Printer – Color Duplex Mobile Printing by John Floyd

Revainrating 4 out of 5

arrrgh! Printers are good for inkjet printers

Do yourself a favor and shop something different. This thing is very good at printing, but I'll probably never know. I broke my 3+ hour install (I'm not stupid enough to take that long) to write this. Now I'm trying to figure out how to shrink the copy to 50% of the original. The printer controls (and installer) are the least intuitive I've seen. The custom settings are there but keep going back to 100%. You can't type 5 and 0 unless 100 is removed with the X key, which is all that's available for resizing on the small screen. The instructions in the online manual are not clear. just ahh! Save yourself stress. (I have a very expensive Brother computerized sewing machine and I really like it. Obviously it's different.

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Almost everything included
