The MFC-J425W Inkjet All-In-One With Wireless Networking from Brother combines a fast 33 ppm black and 26 ppm color with scan, fax, and copy capabilities for a full-featured compact all-in-one. The printer uses 4 ink cartridges so you only have to replace the color that runs out, not all of them. The printer's small ink drop size (1.5 pl) and high 1200 dpi are ideal for printing full page photos, brochures, and color documents.
In addition to standard USB connectivity, the printer has built-in wireless capabilities so you can share it with all the computers on your network and save space and resources. With the growing popularity of Smartphones and internet-ready devices, being able to print on the go is important. Brother's iPrint&Scan is a free download for your iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Android, and Windows Phone 7 device that provides the ability to print from and scan to your device.

Comments about Brother MFC-J425W Inkjet All-In-One With Wireless Networking:
This all-in-one printer/copier/scanner/fax is easy to set up and use. Instructions are clear. It works well as a stand-alone copier, and as a computer printer and scanner and as a fax machine. The document feeder works nicely for 20 and under pages. You can scan to email too. The speed is not lightning but more than acceptable for home use and small business applications. Print quality is fine and color good to very good. Ink cartridges are easily front-loaded and last an acceptable amount of copies. There are color or black/white modes. Wireless networking is a fairly easy set-up also. Given the price, the compact size and the relative speed and quality, this is a great deal. It is small for all of its 4-in-1 features, a great space saver. If there is a downside, the doors, etc., are not heavy duty. This is not a machine for a busy office with many users who do not pay attention doing 1,000s of copies/day. But for an individual at home, a home office, a small business, as a back-up machine, it is inexpensive, loaded with features, compact and produces a quality product.

Comments about Brother MFC-J425W Inkjet All-In-One With Wireless Networking:
Easy to set up, clear instructions, and worked right out of the box. Also, easy on the wallet. Individual ink cassettes for black, and C, M and Y makes perfect sense, and is cheaper than having to pay for a modular (all colors in one) cassette. I just went and bought the extended black cartridge, and now I am set for a few months before I'll have to replace the black cartridge. This is a nice, copier/fax/printer. I'm happy with it.

We received the printer very quickly and it was extremely easy to set up. We are very please with the quality. When you are in the same room you can hear it is working but outside of the room it is in it is almost inaudible. The ability to print from your phone is great! My fiance printed a full color picture from one he had taken on his phone it we were surprised by how good it looked! Very very happy with this product, would definitely recommend it to others.
