Brother MFC-J4535DW vs Canon PIXMA G7020

This is common with cheap budget printers, well, except for this one. This printer uses Brother's Ink Vestment Tank, which is a hybrid between traditi...

A step up from the Editors' Choice-winning Pixma G6020 MegaTank, Canon's Pixma G7020 Wireless MegaTank All-in-One ($329.99) is a cartridge-less (bulk-ink) multifunction inkjet designed for printing and copying a few hundred pages per month in a home or small office. Like most lower-end bulk-ink models (Including Canon's MegaTank, Epson's EcoTank, and HP's Smart Tank Plus brands), this one prints well, if a little slowly. And it churns out both black and color pages for under 1 cent each, making it a terrific value for those with moderate print and copy needs (say, between 300 and 500 pages a month)

Brother printer cartridges generally last a long time, making them cost-effective options for those who print a lot.

I wish companies would be responsible and quit producing garbage that winds up in the land fill with minimal use. This will weigh HEAVILY in my mind before I EVER purchase another product by Canon. The thought of not replacing ink looks attractive, but I never would have had to. This product wasn't even made to last through a set of cartridges maybe two

The MFC-J4335DW prints, scans, copies, works as a standalone fax machine, and lets you send faxes from your computer using either Brother's faxing app or a driver that will let you fax from almost any Windows program.

I did receive the replacement printer. It took slightly longer, but it did arrive, so here is the update review. I was able to set the replacement printer up as with the first one and connect to my laptop and phone just fine. This time I had no problems printing with it

As for printing performance, it prints 14 black pages or 15 color pages per minute, and it takes about 19 seconds to print a photo. Its page yield is outstanding, meaning you won't have to replace the ink cartridges often, which helps keep costs low over time. It has a good array of scanner features, including a high-resolution flatbed for photos and thicker items like spiral notebooks, and a fast-scanning ADF to automatically digitize multi-page documents.

The Canon PIXMA G6020 is a very printer and it is replacing a cartridge-based HP printer for which I have not been able to buy ink cartridges for several months now. The amount of ink that is in the “Supertank” ink reservoirs is impressive and I have read that it contains about the same amount of ink as 84 ink cartridges! Even if it is a small fraction of that, the economics of buying a big bottle of ink for $12 vs paying twice that much or more for a much lower capacity ink cartridge is obvious. In fact, just two complete ink cartridge replacements on my previous HP printer would pay for this new Canon printer and all the ink that came with it (one of each color and three bottles of black)! I am so glad to get out of the paying big $ for ink cartridges, assuming you can even get them. Print quality seems fine, but it is a bit slower than the HP I am replacing

The best wireless printer for home use we've tested is the Brother MFC-J4535DW. Its connectivity options are superb, including Wi-Fi via a router, Wi-Fi Direct, Apple AirPrint, and Mopria Print Service, allowing you to print from a variety of different devices. You can also use the outstanding Brother Mobile Connect app to perform print, scan, and maintenance tasks right from your smartphone.

Scanning works with simple scan as installed in bullseye (I expected a major fight here). All of this wirelessly.. which is awesome

That Brother is the best bang for your buck. My home printer is a Brother MFC inkjet and it's been going strong for about 8 years. It's a quality brand.

.if you just can't afford a laser printer and the insane prices they are charging for toner cartridges.

Do not get this printer unless you are only printing little tiny things that barely use color...

The simple way is to set your paper size to the Letter - 8-1/2 x 11 size at the top of that short list. Then you can work with any size actual paper that will fit within the margins. For my project I used 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 bifold card stock but told the printer it was 8-1/2 x 11. The printer ran it on through without a hitch
