Brother MFC-J6920DW Multifunction Colour A3 Inkjet Printer Review

[@KenGullette]

BRILLIANT!! I just unpacked my printer this morning and thought for a moment that I could only run 11 x 17 paper one at a time through the back. Then I found your review and you showed me how to load it. Thank you very much!!

[@TregMediaHD]

tell me about it . great review

[@rhisage]

AWSOME REVIEW. I just bought one on Amazon. You explained it better than the company website

[@jeffgreen5052]

Great demo! very clear and concise - bought the MFC J4710DW for my daughter a tracher, and her triplets (13 years of age) will be very useful for homework - again Thank you Jeff

[@nancymetzger1369]

I LOVE this printer - I've used it daily for about 2 years. I turned if using the button above the "wi-fi" symbol yesterday & now it won't turn on again. We tried everything we know to do: unplug & replug, etc. The screen wil briefly flicker on & then goes black again. What else can I do?

[@loksterchu7398]

Hi, had my printer for some time but have just saw your review and was wondering if you help. I'm looking to print a coloured strip at the bottom of an A4 sized sheet to the edge ie borderless. I'm using Word 2000 and cannot get it to do this without a white border. Please help

[@Printerbase]

Hi, this option should be available in the Print settings. But it's only available on single sided printing

[@loksterchu7398]

@@Printerbase yeah there is an option for borderless but it doesn't change the print preview which retains a border

[@joeye7541]

hi, i want to know when scanning how can i change it so it scans in A4 not A3 size

[@mehdihakimi2807]

My macine does not print A3 full size. It print A4 size. Even though all the settings in the machine and the print properties are all A3. Not sure what is happening. My printer is J6530DW. Any solutions?

[@mellomdesyvfjell]

I can't find it again but I read that I can scan A3 (a open book for example) and that the software can split it automatically in 2 A4 and make a continuous PDF ? How? It would avoid me scanning A3 and batch cropping / copying / renaming in LR and PDFing in Preview (Mac). Thanks !

[@burtyboy13]

This was a really good and useful review! Thanks Nick!

[@SpeediiEddie]

What's the difference from the J6520DW and this printer besides the extra tray? Can the 6520DW scan and fax A3 paper and does the tray hold the A3 paper as well or does it have to be fed through the rear one by one?

[@grahamfinlay9132]

Hi folks, thanks for the information. Can you tell me whether this machine can print a counter report showing the number of colour and mono pages printed? Or even display the information on screen?

[@368pl]

What is the colour print quality compared to a laser printer? Are the colours still bright? Also what is the approx cost to replace all the inks?

[@MrMarcosldn]

I just wondered if there was a Laser equivalent to this printer? A laser printer that could scan A3 and print A3 colour

[@samthesock]

I'm having trouble with my printer alignment when printing A3. When I print from the A3 tray and/or the single manuel feed tray it has troubles printing in straight lines, it offsets them by a millimeter or two in some cases. Have you had any problems regarding this issue at all? (and yes, I have tried the alignment settings and the alignment tests and they all seem fine)

[@unapro3]

Brilliant review, very good narration by someone who actually knows how to public speak.

[@OuseofOnree]

One downside is the paper tray/holder... it doesn't hold more than 2 or 3 pages on it once you've printed an a3 page... a4 is fine.. but not a3.... you would think if they allowed you to print a3... it would catch the pages once done... instead they fall on the floor losing any order they were printed in.

[@alabamamagazine6351]

i have the MFC J6910DW and i wanted to print my magazines,. put the ink seems to smear on glossy paper.. how can i stop that

[@alabamamagazine6351]

***** thank you i have just one more question... How do i get my ledger tray (Tray 2) to duplex print on its own..... even when i set the settings to do so it doesn't go back inside and print the other page on back..

[@jadwiganaeczna4329]

What's the main difrence to MCF-j6520DW?

[@jaredkc1323]

Hi Nick thinking of buying a A3 Multifunctional printer, can you highlight the pro and cons and the differences of the Brother MFC J6920DW vs the Epson workforce WF 7620 printer.

[@Firebrand911]

What kind of ink does this take? Dye (smudges, but more vibrant) or Pigment (often preferred for photos)?

[@breege9800]

Hi just wondering if you know why I can't get mine to print on folded greeting card paper, its 260gsm, is that why? I have the MFC-6520DW. It keeps telling me load the paper :-/

[@Printerbase]

+Breege C Hi Unfortunately, the 6920 is rated for paper weighing up to 220gsm. The card you have may be too thick to pull through the paper feed, causing your problem. We recommend trying thinner card, 220gsm should be ok, and try not to print over the crease. If you have anymore questions let us know. We hope this helps Printerbase team.

[@breege9800]

Ok I'll try a thinner paper, Thanks for your reply :)

Hi :) Does this printer support dull bleed printing(edge-to-edge)?

[@afolabijnr]

Hello Nick, just wondering if you could help with my brother dcp-j4120w, its prints comes out dull, how do I get it to print really sharp images? I use edible ink on edible sheets, thank you

[@Printerbase]

+Mr Afo Hi Unfortunately you'll never get the most out of this machine unless you're using good quality paper with original brother consumables. Have a chat with our technical support staff and they'll try and help you. www.printerbase.co.uk/contact.htm Thanks Printerbase team

[@miguelgrsdal9282]

I bought the MFC J5910DW, but it doesn't scan A3 on the scan surface nor whith the ADF. Does this scan A3 (420cm*297cm) Thanx for great reviews!

[@camisetasgandasport5585]

which is the maximum thickness of paper that this printer supports?

[@80goal]

Does the ADF supports 11x17" (A3)? if not do you know other machine models that can do ADF 11x17" ?

[@Printerbase]

Hi 80goal, thanks for getting in touch. We can confirm that the ADF on this printer supports A3 print, copy and scan. I hope this helps. Thanks The Printerbase Team

[@joansmith1921]

How do I print A4 document or picture into A3? I have the MFC-J6520DW. Not only can I not do this but this printer is the slowest I've had in the past 25 years and it is the most expensive. I'm so disappointed with it.

[@veffari]

Thank you, yes it's a nice machine. It does give me a bit of crooked problem when scanning 11x17 stacks, though. Okay for a lawyer but not so great for an architect. Taping small blocks as help-guides seems to help a bit as the paper easily gets out of guide. But what would you suggest as a good paper for a) best text quality b) text and images together 3) for best photo quality Thank you!

[@Printerbase]

Hi Veffari, thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately, there is always a margin for error in alignment when using an ADF to scan documents, although the adjustable guides on the machine should ensure that the paper is fed correctly to begin with. For general documents it is not so much of an issue, if you need to scan an image or drawing, for accuracy, I would recommend using the platen on the machine which avoids any skewing issues. As for paper, there isn’t a particular recommendation we would suggest for text or text/images only that you use an uncoated standard paper or an inkjet specific one. For photographs, you can use media up to 220gsm on this model and so for best results would recommend a heavyweight glossy or semi-gloss media. Take a look at some of our photo paper here - www.printerbase.co.uk/printer-paper/photo-papers.html I hope this helps. Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any further questions. Thanks The Printerbase Team

[@MaZEEZaM]

How to clear black vertical line left side MFC-J6920DW?

[@Printerbase]

Sounds like an issue with one of the parts. Probably the Drum, or Fuser. I recommend checking with Brother, or the supplier of these. Hope this helps Thank you The Printerbase Team

[@nicksimpson1435]

@@Printerbase Please note, the MFC-J6920DW is an inkjet and therefore does not have a Drum or Fuser.

[@nicksimpson1435]

Are you using genuine or compatible inks? If compatible then Brother support won't help because they will argue that the inks may be the problem. Please follow the instructions in the manual on running a printhead clean and hopefully that will resolve the issue. Good luck!

Hi Printerbase, Does this printer also print long edge A3 double sided used for newspapers? Cheerz

[@toadali]

Thanks for the helpful review. Have you tried the VERY similar model: MFC-J6720DW? The price difference seems to 30% less than this one (MFC-J6920DW) and when I used a comparison website the differences seemed small: no photo-printing, scanned 11x17 (rather than the 11.7x17 that this one offers), and no auto-duplex feeder. However, that comparison site also told me that this model does NOT have a USB port (which you showed us here that it does actually have), and it said this model does not do auto-duplex printing, e-printing, or template printing. (The last 2 features I'm not familiar with, but I would want it to be able to print on both sides of the sheet without me re-feeding it.) I would love to know your opinion on this matter because I don't think I'm getting complete and accurate info. Thanks in advance for your time and effort.

[@Printerbase]

Hi there Toadali - and thank you for submitting this question. In response to your query, we can advise that the J6720 and J6920 are in essencethe same model as they share the same print system, but do vary in other features. They can both print photographs and print and scan A3 size paper (11x17). I can also confirm that both models have a USB port for direct connection printing as well as a USB port for a inserting a flash drive. The key advantages the J6920DW has over the J6720 are as follows: 1. Bigger screen (9.3cm Vs 6.8cm) 2. More memory for processing (256MB Vs 128MB) 3. Duplex Scan and Copy functions (both models print double-sided) 4. NFC (near field communication) If you don’t think you require any of the above extra features then the J6720 should suit your requirements perfectly fine. We hope that this helps. If you do have any additional queries, please do not hesitate to ask.Best Regards,The Printerbase Team

[@tiffanylabelle]

Thanks for the review. Can you choose the size you want to print the image from your mobile device using the NFC feature? Eg. the image is smaller than A4 but I want it to print it on the whole of the A3 page. Thanks

[@miandreu]

Hi! nice review! I still on the fence about which A3 printer get. Does it print on A3+size, or only up to A3?

[@johnterdik4707]

How in the heck do you print multiple A3 pages?

[@Printerbase]

Hi John, thanks for getting in touch. Have you had any issues when trying this already? You should just be able to load the paper into paper tray 1, but with A3 you would need to load this in tray 1 in portrait position. Please also make sure that the printer settings have been adjusted for this size. If you need info on how to do this, please take a look at the user manual on PDF page 52 (actual manual page 38) for info on this -download.brother.com/welcome/doc003148/mfc6920dw_use_busr_lel566001_a.pdf I hope this helps!

Hi, I have the J3720 , how do i use the ADF with A3 sheets? Thanks

Can I custom a printing size? Is it working If I put B4(9.8x13.9) paper in to the machine, is it gonna regonize the paper size?

[@Printerbase]

Hi Shiilan16, thanks for getting in touch. You can print onto a custom sized paper by using the user defined paper setting within the driver. The device will not automatically recognise B4 paper in the tray as it is not one of the preconfigured sizes within the driver setup. You would have to manually detail the dimensions in the paper settings in the print driver. Take a look at the brochure here for more details on compatible sizes - www.printerbase.co.uk/media/pdf/brother-mfcj6920dw.pdf I hope this helps. Thanks The Printerbase Team

Hello, Great Video. What is the thickest paper / card that can be used to print? I would like to print business cards or anything nearly as thick. Thanks in Advanced

[@HeyHeey]

can it print cards, e.g business cards?

[@Printerbase]

Hi +oshi bobo, The maximum weight of media this machine is capable of handling is 220gsm, which is a relatively light cardstock- certainly not up to the weights you would usually use for a business card, which would be over 350gsm at least. There aren’t any devices of this type (A3 inkjet MFPs) that are capable of handling the thickest media types. Hope this helps.The Printerbase Team

Hey PrinterBase. Love the review :) My girlfriend and I have been looking for a solid A3 home scanner/printer, and this seems to be a good option. I do have two questions that I hope, that you can answer: 1) What is the DPI scan quality? 2) How thick paper can it print on? Standard 80g A4 (of course double for A3) or can it go higher?

[@ngocphuong91]

[@metallitech]

Cillit Bang!

[@waynemanna4744]

I have owned one of this model for 3 years. Would NEVER buy one again. I bought it to give me the option of printing on A3 - except I have never been able to get it to print reliably on A3. Every time I have tried, it is a monumental frustration and after 15 minutes of mucking around and switching trays, I give up. It is not a terrible printer in terms of quality and its "Best" in black & white is OK for business use - but forget using colour for business as the quality is poor - I use a red and dark blue logo for business and the colours on letterhead are very wishy-washy, even on Best quality. Double sided printing and scanning is OK but when scanning, the paper feed goes askew, so very difficult to scan a copy that can be sent to a client. Also, like most brands of inkjet (unlike HP), this printer uses some colour ink to print in black and white. So even though I print very little colour, colour inks still run out far too quickly and are too costly for the quality. You also can't just turn the printer off. There is a massive stuff around to turn it back on again - you almost have to stand on your head - absurd. If you really need A3, possibly worth a risk, but I would not recommend this printer overall - 2 stars out of 5.

[@Silk1970]

I agree, unfortunately it was reviews like this that convinced me to buy the horrible thing. A3 printing, which was something that was important for me, was a big factor in buying the printer and it hasn't worked well for me. I expect that when I buy a printer, especially an expensive, well reviewed one, that using it will be straightforward and reliable. This is the 2nd well reviewed printer in a row that I've owned in a row that has simply failed to meet those basic expectations.

Hi, can you let me know if the ink that this printer uses are waterproof and fade resistant? Also, If this printer prints on single cartridge if I need to (suppose I just need to print the black or cyan)? It will be great if you can share the images of prints the machine delivers. Thanks in advance.

[@Printerbase]

+Ravi Gupta Hi, The inks used in the printer are not waterproof, but instead water resistant. They're actually really tough as far as inks go, and when printed on the right media, prints will last a very long time. As far as printing on a single cartridge, you can only do this with black. When printing, choose greyscale from the colour options and that will tell the printer to only use the black ink cartridge. Unfortunately, there's no way to do this for individual colours. We hope this helps Printerbase team

[@raviart88]

+printerbase.co.uk thanks :)
