Very disappointing – The Brother DCP-J315W printer was very disappointing. I will have to return it. I print a lot of coloured cards. Problems are: It prints some of the graphics on the photo paper & before it has finished picks up another piece of paper & prints the remaining graphic on that. I have tried it various times & it still ruins my print job. Also it does not print the colour that is shown on the computer screen. So I have to darken the colour of the graphic to get the real colour.
Previous to owning this printer, I had a Brother MFC 425CN, which was outstanding & worked for over 4 years. It also had the most economical ink tanks that I have ever used.
couldn't print graphics on one page; didn't print the colour as depicted on the computer screen.
1) All printer paper must be properly fanned to separate and avoid double pickup (just as they have to on a REAL printing press). 2) A graphics image file is just that, a file, with NO inherit relationship to equipment using it. How a PC GUI displays colour and gradations and how ANY PC printer does is TOTALLY unrelated and adjustments may be needed to match one to the other (common requisite in the Graphic Arts Industries). Any thought that a simple inkjet should by default match your particular display is ludicrous.
