Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had the printer a month. So far I am very pleased with its performance. It’s easy to operate. Prints fast and only time will tell how long the ink cartridges last. I bought it for the longer life of a print cartridge.

Brother MFC-J4535DW INKvestment Tank Color Inkjet Printer, brand new and just $200 at Best Buy, offers easy set up and robust performance for homes and small businesses. With up to one year of ink in the box, based on up to 150 pages per month, and in typical Brother fashion, this new model offers more for less than ever before. You’re going to like this printer! I’ve used and recommended Brother printers, both monochrome (black & white) laser and inkjet, for nearly 20 years. I find them to be excellent printers as well as long lasting and more economical to operate than competitive brands. **WHAT’S IN THE BOX** • Brother MFC-J4535DW COLOR inkjet printer • Starter INKvestment cartridges in Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow. • Startup guide, warranty **THE SETUP** What is Brother INKvestment? This is the company’s hybrid ink cartridge with internal ink tanks system. How does it work? During setup and after the four provided starter ink cartridges are installed, this printer primes and fills sealed internal tanks from the ink in the cartridges. According to Brother, “INKvestment TANK cartridges still plug into the machine like a normal cartridge. No messy bottles to worry about. Think of the new cartridges like a water cooler bottle - there are no mechanisms on the bottle - all the working parts are in the body of the cooler. The same is true with the new INKvestment TANK cartridges - they are a reservoir for ink. All the mechanisms for removal of air bubbles and feeding to the printhead are located inside the printer's sub-tank assembly. There is no ink waste - the cartridges are completely drained into the sub-tank. There is no remaining ink needed in the cartridges to protect the print head. Because the system is completely closed, there are no concerns about the ink drying up. As long as the machine remains connected to a power source, it is able to regulate the humidity and keep the ink fresh and ready to use. Once the cartridges are ‘empty,’ there are approximately 200 pages of usage in the sub-tank. New intelligent Ink Meter... aka Page Gauge... will not only allow you to check to remaining ink volume, but you'll also be able to see an approximate count of the number of pages remaining for each color. This can be shown as an ISO page count or User page count based on actual printing habits.” Two sets of replacement ink are offered, standard yield said to be about 3,000 copies and high yield rated at about 6,000 pages or copies. This model is so new that replacement ink is not yet listed or available, so I am unable to provide price information. Setup follows the proscribed path in the easy-to-follow instructions, with the emphasis on EASY. After plugging in, follow instructions to install the provided ink. While waiting, follow the advice on the 2.7" color display to load some paper into either or both internal trays holding a total of about 400 pages, and then perform other settings during the approximate four-minute internal setup. INKvestment follows this path after the initial set of ink cartridges are installed. During the wait, this is when ink is pulled from the cartridges into the sealed internal tank system to partially fill it in readiness for print jobs. The internal setup is completed after a test copy is printed and another step is completed for the purpose of assuring that the on-board scanner performs accurately. And, of course, it did. According to a Brother representative, another INKvestment technology advantage avoids the occasional head cleaning cycles experienced with other products and technologies. The sealed tanks and air-free delivery system is more ink efficient. When ink cartridges are replaced, there is no waste from priming as is customary with conventional color inkjet systems. Once installed, the new ink flows to refill internal tanks where required. Next, the Brother Mobile Connect software was downloaded and installed on an iPhone, iPad and Android phone. Similarly, both Mac and Windows software for Brother printers was installed on two computers. The new printer was wirelessly connected to our home Wi-Fi network on the 2.4 GHz band only, as that is how printers and most other IoT (Internet of Things) devices join our networks. Finally, the new printer was added in the conventional way to both Macs and Windows PCs here and the printer firmware was checked for any needed updates. None was needed. And now, let’s put it to the test! **PUT TO THE TEST** This was so simple, as it should be. Duplex print, copy and scan, plus fax performed successfully, flawlessly. Going deeper, I printed documents in black & white in both highest quality and normal mode. Color photos on high quality photo paper at highest quality looked beautiful, though this is not presented as a photo printer. Faxes went through without issue when sent from a digital document on my computer as well as from documents scanned in the on-board ADF with approximately 25-page capacity. The Brother Mobile Connect app performed perfectly, accessing controls for printing documents and photos, scanning, copying and a maintenance button to poll ink supplies. Scan history can be stored through the app. I was able to print documents and photos from mobile devices as well as print from content in all the usual cloud services to this printer. I set up document and photo scanning, as well. It operates smoothly, easily and intuitively. **CONCLUSION** Ideal for high quality, low monthly COLOR printing volume, Brother MFC-J4535DW is highly recommended by this reviewer. **WARRANTY** Brother MFC-J4535DW is covered by the Brother Two-Year Limited Warranty and Replacement Service.

First time user of the Brother INKvesment Tank Inkjet printer and i love it. Over the past years i owned a variety of different printers from major brands and one thing i found annoying was the cartridge life. Well no more worries with Brother This printer came with the largest cartridge out the box and after a lot of photo printing that i've done the past few days they are still holding strong. A quality that other brands can't match. -Quality of document printing is flawless and fast. Fast is also for photo printing but i found necessary to adjust the brightness on some photos in order to reproduce a realistic copy of the original. -It also has Fax and Scanning functions and they work great either for home or work office. -Out the box is a very intuitive and easy to connect printer. Had great integration with my apple products and i started to print right away. -The color lcd display is very helpful throughout the installation as well when you have printing jobs. I would strongly recommend to try this Brother MFCJ4535DW printer for who is on the market for one. You won't be disappointed!

Excellent machine. I bought one for the house, one for the office. No more HP. Very easy to use, quiet, Scans nicely, prints well, and handsome. The paper tray holds a lot of paper.

So far it's great. I was able to get it hooked up professionally with the tech support program. Where else but Best Buy can you get help with hooking up a printer!!!! It says it includes enough ink for a full year. I sure hope so! It looks nice, it works great, and it has two drawers for paper. Easy to use.

This is the best printer that we have purchased. This printer is fast, quiet, and runs so smooth. It has a large ink capacity and it will tell you about how many more pages it will print for each color. It was so simple to set up. It stays connected to my wifi, unlike my previous printer. The ink is less expensive than my previos printer. I love this printer!

This is a beautiful machine. Easy to operate, fast, quiet, and excellent print quality. Setup was simple and completely wireless. I don't know if the ink will really last for a year, but the starting supply is the most generous I have ever seen with a printer. Can't go wrong with this one.

Brother printers truly raise the bar. I have used other brands but keep coming back to Brother. This is a truly amazing printer. Very simple to setup, and this is one that you can kind of just forget once you set it up, it never needs any attention, it will work on its own no matter what. Has all the features we all have come to love and need more often than not. (double side printing, copy, scan, print from phone or wifi, amazing color prints, super fast printing, etc). This uses liquid ink which is cheaper than your traditional cartridges and also easy to refill. I honestly have nothing bad to say about this printer. It more than exceed expectations. If you are on the line about this or any other of its kind, just go with this one, you will not rerget it.

This was a great bargain. Supplies are affordable and print quality is good. Easy to set up and use as well.

Easy to set-up, excellent print quality. Really like the large paper trays, sheet feeder for copies and scans, etc.

Great quality, relatively easy to set up. Only drawback was the lack of a driver for my daughter's Chromebook operating system. For our Macs, all we had to do was plug the printer in, give it access to the wifi network, and it was discoverable to add as a printer within minutes. No need to follow the directions in the quick start guide and download the app from the App Store. 5 outta 5, would recommend and/or purchase again.

I already have a Brother B/W laser printer, so this was purchased --replacing a worthless piece of Canon junk--for the rare times that I need to scan, copy or print in color. I don't use the Fax capability. The printer works well and was surprisingly easy to setup. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy, but I've always had good luck with Brother printers. The only limitation, more annoying than serious, is it's inability to print double sided--say tax forms, which have to be treated carefully when copying. The document feed works well and copies/prints several at a time. The noticeable error is that the red (cyan) color is off somewhat, so if you produce many pictures and need color accuracy, this printer might not be right for you.

This is my second ink investment from brother my first one was for myself and I have had that one for over a year and Iloved it so much that when I reset up my mothers home office I purchased this one. Easy to set up and if works as well as mine and right now i have no reason for doubt the ink will last a long time. Very happy so far.

I really like my new printer. It was easy to set up. It prints from my phone as well as from the computer. The colors are clear and the print is easy to read. The drawers to hold the paper are made of inexpensive plastic. Hopefully, with care, that won’t be a problem.

Great quality Print, easy to set up. Only quibble is it sometimes needs to have the paper drawer pulled out and pushed back in, as it thinks it is out of paper.

Printer prints quick ink last a long time easy to set up and easy to use highly recommend to anyone who needs a printer

Excellent printer for our needs--wifi, scanner, USB/net/computer storage, easy setup, crisp printing resolution, simple software interfaces, convenient BestBuy delivery, good ink economics, value pricing.

So far---very good. It was easy to install, the print quality is excellent and the design & size equally so.

Easy to use, especially with the phone to bluetooth connection! Reads from two bedrooms away. Copies are clear and ink cartridges last!

Great printer! Fast and easy to set up and the printing is fairly quick too!
