Great review . The Brother company really deserves to blow its competition out of the marketplace with this line of Inkinvestment line of products Epson, HP and Canon among others have screwed their customers long enough with ridiculously priced micro ink vessels, particular when you buy their product and they are supplied with only partially filled demo ink cartridges which will have you forking out for new ink at nearly the price of the actual printer in no time. Not only is Brother introducing a far more courteous, full ink solution out of the box but the product is a class act that is fully featured, nicely styled and aggressively priced. Go with this offering you will only be impressed.

Good review. I just replaced my 10 year old Brother WiFi printer that has been faultless till the yellow head failed. Tried cleaning fluid etc but it was cactus. I checked a review of Best Home/Small Office printers for 2022 & the MFC-4335DW came out on top. The MFC-4440DW is an upgrade of that & your review was thorough & relevant. I was happy with my old printer except it did not have duplex printing or a document feeder so those were the main requirements. But the features and huge number of options is brilliant. I guess that's what 10 years of web & mobile use has provided. Setup was a breeze. I especially like the NFC function & multiple PDF options. Offerings from HP, Lexmark, Epson & Canon for the same or over $100.00 more were nowhere near as good functionally, (as well as the warranty) slower print speed, and their ink tank functions do not get a good rap. I produce reports etc for 2 clubs & a body corporate so the inks should last easily a year.

Thanks Corindikev, I think this is what draws people to Brother, bulletproof reliability (let's hope this is still the same in 2022). And now with the inkvestment tanks, let's also hope they last as long as they say, and I hope you get your 1 year out of them as well! All the best with it

thx for the review, as a long-time Brother customer i found it interesting in how far the technology has come. I will definitely get one.

Great review. Just got mine and wondering if you've seen a setting for dual sided scanning? It's not a duplex scanner but surely there's a feature to feed in documents, flip then the software reorder the images?

Could you do some photo printing and show us the result, that would be great!

Thank you for your helpful review, my old Brother died and didn't really didn't want to buy anything else but couldn't find a printer in my price range that did what I wanted until I saw this review and then did more reseach on it. I am having a problem though with the WiFi , the printer isn't accepting the password so I tried the big long key and that hasn't worked either, I will make some phone calls tomorrow, I do have another question and that is I will be useing my PC to print not my phone or iPad so do I install the app on my PC or install drivers but wouldn't I need a cable if I had drivers, I cannot see anyhere in the information sheet about it, Thank you

Happy to help :) Not sure about the WiFi issue, try reset it from the beginning. As for using on your PC, you cannot connect via cable to your PC, so best to install drivers and print wirelessly.

i just bought MFC J4440DW easy to setup ..... but it seems pale colors comparing with my last printer and had compared purple color text page it is pale i tried to use Print quality = High but it didnt make any difference maybe cause i am using Ubuntu and USB driverless driver what can i do to make it black look more darker its pale more like greyish

Most informative, thank you. I almost purchased this machine (at Officeworks) recently, but was put off by the feature of auto self-cleaning, which apparently can’t be turned off. Even in sleep mode or turned off at the front panel it will periodically kick in I read. Perhaps annoying if you’re trying to concentrate on something. Could you tell me if this true? Thanking you.

If the colour inks are empty, does it frustratingly prevent you from printing in just black? Also to clarify, this is still a cartridge system and the inks can't be refilled?

Ethernet cables are not boring. Ethernet is a feature. I take it because there's an ethernet cable in the box this printer supports ethernet connections and is operable in all the ways you demonstrated but without WiFi.

@@tech.reviews I purchased my first wi-fi printer I can't remember how many years ago when it was a hard feature to find. Now it's harder to find a printer that does ethernet. Of course Wifi can seem convenient until you need to scan or print large files and you find the range or interference delays printing for quite a long time in some cases or makes scan / print unreliable due to interference. And some people quote safety concerns with wifi too. If you can position the printer next to the router a patch cable makes for fast and reliable scan / print. Ethernet is not boring and should not be disregarded.
