Brother MFC-J995DW Review, User Experience, and Evaluation

We all have needed a printer at some point, especially when there is an urgency of a document that needs to be printed. For such reasons, many users want to think of a printer that they can start using in their home to fulfill their needs whenever their requirement demands them to be.

So for such conditions, the MFC-J995DW is an office-oriented AIO printer from Brother with excellent quality and performance and, as a bulk-ink type, that can meet all your needs in one place.

Although the MFC-operating J995DW’s expenses aren’t the lowest, they are still quite cheap, making it a great all-in-one printer for modest and home-based workplaces with medium print and copy volumes.

The printer is very less expensive for printing but will take a long time to load material from a USB device. To discuss this model in detail below is a complete Brother MFC-J995DW Review.

The MFC-J995DW from Brother is a printer that you can use at home or at the office. It has maximum paper storage of 101 pages, which is split between a front 100-sheet tray and a back one-paper page plate, or multifunctional tray.

Few of its rivals provide two-sided printing with the ability to print from and scan to a range of memory media. It has a proposed printability of 1,500 pages and a total monthly operation frequency of 5,000 pages.

There’s also the matter of the paper tray behind the machine, which can only hold one sheet at a time. Printing images and other high-quality work will require time and effort as a result.

Like most other Brother AIOs in this class, the MFC-J995DW includes a small (20-sheet) automated document feeder (ADF), although it does not support automatic two-sided scanning.

Printing a letter-sized quality photo, for example, takes almost 4 minutes. Printers can complete the task in less than half of the cases. The sluggish performance might be seen in other areas of the printer’s activities as well.

Ethernet, Wi-Fi, USB connection to a single PC, Wi-Fi Direct, and near-field connection are just a few of the connectivity options available on the NFC in MFC-J995DW.

NFC is a touch-to-print feature that is available in most devices these days that lets you link your devices to this printer by just tapping on them to a spot in order to let them work efficiently.

Brother Cloud Connect, a suite of tools for wirelessly printing to and scanning from email, the cloud, fax, and several Microsoft Office tools, is another mobile connection capability.

Most prominent cloud services are supported, including Box, Evernote, Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, and OneNote. Mopria, Apple AirPrint, and a few more third-party mobile connectivity solutions are available.

It might take a moment or some time to print a sheet. Making copies is one of the rare situations when the unit’s speed will genuinely amaze you. In just over 12 seconds, the MFC-J995DW can make a copy.

Furthermore, while the ability to print from your mobile app may appear appealing, the printing speed associated with this feature isn’t really. The condition of printing is made worse by the fact that the printer doesn’t match up with the required speed.

This is a slow printer. Sure, it works well and is more than able to produce high printouts for businesses. However, the job will most likely take longer than you anticipate.

It can reach a 6ppm number for printing speed, especially on the papers and sheets that are just meant to print texts and documents. These speeds aren’t astonishing in this class of printers, but they do leave much to be desired.

The MFC-J995DW printer is an excellent printer for home use or for a small family. The color fidelity is good, and the photographs appear wonderful when printed.

Despite printing in black and white or color in big quantities, the expense remains low.

It has outstanding scan accuracy and color depth, which is useful if you need to enlarge photographs or make minor modifications.

Print Results

The design of the MFC-J995DW is excellent. The printer’s general construction seems solid, and the toner cartridges are readily available from the front.

The scanner’s lid and input tray are well-made, but the power wire isn’t detachable.

The USB and Ethernet ports are situated inside this printer, below the scanner bed, and the wires are routed via grooves to the printer’s rear.

If you intend on using these ports, the cable arrangement will reduce the length by roughly afoot; thus, you may need longer cords.

For printing photographs, the MFC-J995DW is a suitable choice. The photographs are detailed, and the colors are vivid, although there is some banding and color in the grayscale.

Except for 2″ x 3″, it can print on glossy picture paper and supports most sizes. Color fidelity is adequate for personal use; however, it may not be acceptable for other applications.

Design

The front control panel is angled 45 degrees upward, making the 2.7-inch color touch screen simpler to operate.

Most menu options were easy to make with my fingertips, while inputs that required a full QWERTY keyboard to fit on the screen were a little more challenging.

Text and Graphics

This printer is great for text and graphics printing. The J995DW prints and copies well for all the color texture and image content efficiently enough to be approved in most business environments. At roughly 4 or 5 points, the text is clear, well-shaped, and incredibly legible.

Cartridge

The cartridge mechanism of the MFC J995DW is excellent. It comes with the INKvestment Tank, which allows a user to get more ink out of each cartridge.

The printer accepts Ultra High Yield toner cartridges from the company only (Brother).

The ink cartridges are conveniently accessible from the front (LC3035). Third-party toner cartridges are accessible, but the yellow cartridge is not recognizable by the printer; your results may vary.

Print Speed

It comes with a printing speed for Black Only Text Document to be 9 PPM. The printing speed on this printer by Brother is adequate, but not the best.

Printing speed on this printer varies little between the 1st and next pages of black and white papers while printing color publications is just as quick as printing black-only documents.

The Printing Speed for color printing is about 10 PPM Color.

Copying and Scanning

Copies were made quickly with the MFC-J995DW. It can cover up with a color copy in 15.1 seconds which is tested and approved making it significantly faster than the industry average of 25.5 seconds.

Copying in black-and-white was also rapid. The J995DW copies text in 12.7 seconds for the category average.

It was the quickest color copier in its category to date, which took 17.3 seconds to make an identical copy.

Printing Quality of Photos

We have taken an in-depth look at the printing quality of this printer in the Brother MFC-J995DW review. The quality that users get from this MFC printer by Brother is amazing and excellent.

The images are detailed once you get the printout in your hands but, when printing specific hues or shades of grey, there is some small low quality texture observed in those images.

Although the printer can print without borders, the images are frequently misplaced and require human modifications.

Connectivity

The connectivity possibilities for the MFC-J995DW by Brother are excellent. The printer includes NFC capabilities for easy connection, and when you use it, the Brother app on your mobile device will start.

When utilizing the Mopria app, we were able to create a connection, but we were unable to print or scan anything. You may also print from an SD card or using a USB flash drive.

App for Mobile Devices

There is also an app for connecting mobile devices. Sometimes you may not understand a few issues, which are mostly related to PDF-type documents.

The iPrint & Scan mobile app is compatible with the J995DW, allowing you to copy, print, and scan files straight from the app.

Printing Cost And Output

While typical models have a black-ink cartridge that lasts about 200 pages, the lowest output cartridge in this all-in-one is claimed to produce 3,000 pages.

It has a rate per page of 1.2 cents, which is significantly lower than the industry average of 7.6 cents.

Only dubbed INKvestment ink tanks, and high-cover ink cartridges, are available for this printing machine model.

Because these INKvestment cartridges have such high yields, Brother predicts that the first four supplied in the package might last up to a year.

Moreover, the high-quality printer cartridges are estimated to last 1,500 documents and come in a three-pack for a premium price, resulting in a cost per color page that is lower than the standard average: 5.8 cents as basic compared to 20.8 cents.

When utilizing the incredibly large capacity refills, which are authorized at 6,000 and 5,000 sheets for black and color, respectively, the cost per page drops to only 1 cent and 5 cents.

Software and Setup

The only thing that is required to set up this all-in-one was to remove a few inches of packaging tape and place the paper in the tray.

The toner cartridges are bigger than those used on most retail inkjet machines, and they fit easily into slots hidden behind a hinged front panel door.

You have to run a Windows installation CD for this printer’s installation Windows allegedly creates a second printer profile that sometimes can cause a conflict. Aside from those little glitches, the setup is simple.

It is a no-brainer to follow the directions and prompts for connecting the gadget to the WiFi network. For direct connectivity with a mobile device, the MFC-J995DW features Google Cloud Print, AirPrint, Wi-Fi Direct, and NFC.

You may print, copy, scan, and fax from your Android device with the iPrint&Scan app. You may also check the ink level.

In the Brother MFC-J995DW review, we got some drawbacks of this printer. Which is discussed here.

There are certain issues that most users have found, and they believe that these issues must not be ignored. A common issue that most people feel is that they believe the LCD display should have been a little larger.

Because there are no physical buttons, you must rely only on the LCD touch screen. Because the LCD panel is smaller, the buttons are smaller as well, resulting in users mistakenly pushing the wrong button. You can utilize the double-sided printing function if you use the ADF.

Another serious issue that some people saw was modest banding in a slide presentation with a black to dark-green transition that spanned the length of the page, but this wasn’t very unattractive, and to be honest, most inkjets we test struggle with this task.

However, the MFC-J995DW had no trouble printing most test photographs. They weren’t as vivid as you’d expect from a consumer-grade picture printer with five or six inks.

When asked by users, a lot of people shared mixed reviews with us. This printer, seriously, checks all of my criteria and then some.

It’s ideal for a home or small business environment. It produces high-quality photographs and documents quickly.

It includes a manual paper tray in the back and a conventional paper tray in the front for loading a variety of documents.

The printer has a loading scanner tray on top, but you may also place papers and images directly on the scanning bed, which was noticed by many users.

Customers who purchased the MFC-J995DW from Brother company rated it 4.4 out of five stars. The boast of two years of ink is deceptive, and the printer may be noisy, according to critics.

Positives include its suitability for a home office, low operating costs, and ability to print quickly and quietly.

Customers at different platforms like Amazon or Best Buy shared a 4.5-star rating. They said that it’s simple to set up the printer. On the other hand, there were some reviewers who were not happy.

Most of them said that the printer’s documentation is quite poor. If you need additional information, there is a QR code on the front of the supplied literature that will direct you to online files, but everything was relatively straightforward in their experience.

The ink does not stay as long as predicted, and there are some connectivity concerns. The ink lasts a long time, the picture print quality is excellent, and the printer is simple to set up and use.

You may either download the current drivers from Brother’s website or use the provided DVD to install them.

Most people notice that it is loud and has a high-pitched whine while printing high-quality colors. It appears to be consuming a lot of ink for some so far.

They had to fiddle with the advanced settings since the colors were too light, to begin with.

In this Brother MFC-J995DW review, we evaluated the printer. Here is our assessment. The MFC-J995DW printer by Brother is a robust, fully-featured printer that is great for anybody who requires automatic document feeder (ADF) loading, scanning, copying, and large ink cartridges that save time and money.

There are alternative solutions that may be better suited to your needs if you’re seeking dual-sided ADF duplexing and the lowest ink costs. However, for the price, it provides a lot, and it does it with quick, high-quality printing.

While the setup was simple, there was sometimes the issue that people did have to restart the printer after a few days to get it to communicate wirelessly with the computers again.

This shouldn’t be taken as a major flaw since we’ve had similar problems with every other wireless printer.

At the very least, the J995DW model by Brother allows you to gain access to printing via an Ethernet connection.

It didn’t still gain much love because it was not resistant to the wireless networking issues that plague so many other printers in most tests.

This Brother printer comes with a slew of fascinating features, many of which seem to be aimed at making printing as cost-effective as possible.

For example, this printer includes a year’s worth of ink in the package. That is a significant benefit for customers shopping for a home printer.

This model has a few technical improvements that make it a useful piece of technology to have around the house or business.

For example, you may print directly from your phone or tablet, and printing is two-sided by default.

This was a Brother MFC J995DW review in which complete details and specs of this printer have been shared.

The printer is a true workhorse, capable of a 5000-page duty cycle; however, the company recommends 1500 pages each month.

The printer is small and light, measuring 17.1″ x 13.4″ x 7.7″ and weighing 19.2 pounds. Moving this printer around or finding a nice area to set it will not be a problem because it is light and tiny.

Despite its small size, the printer can accommodate 100 pages in its main tray and an additional sheet in the bypass tray on the rear.

It’s remarkable that the J995DW takes up so little room for a printer with such great performance.

Printers that can accomplish these types of jobs typically take up more room, which might be a concern for someone attempting to fit their printer in between other things on their desk.

Thank you so much for spending your precious time reading our Brother MFC-J995DW review.
