Cool Printer!

Jun 23, 2008

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Vibrant scanning, easy paper management feature, direct usb printing
Cons: not much except it's ...Heavy. and it doesnt come with a USB printer cable included.
Opinion:
Well no problem so far with this printer. actually this printer comes free when I purchased a laptop. great deal! I use the scanning more with the printing but the printing is way cool as well..especially with pictures.

I like how this printer handles the paper I feel like owning a mini Photocopying machine...:)


I also print pictures from my sony ericsson phone directly plugged in the unit as it has a USB in front.

what more can I say..this printer has been a "Brother" to me...:)

Rating: 6 out of 10 (Good)
Pros: user friendly. quality printing
Cons: printer head faulty. no feeder for multi-scanning
Opinion:
bot the unit 6 mths ago and printer head faulty. the machine drained 2 full tubes of black ink but the print out is "blank". in the end, give it to my son the uninstalling engineer expert, dismantling the machine into loose parts within 2 days.

my advice - there is a reason why the printer comes with 3 yrs warranty and competitor only 1 yr. the printer head has given me enough problem and the servicing centre is just too far for me to carry-in service.

my opinion - pain in ass since the inks aren't cheap, hence the printer head faulty spoiled the "name". i am looking for a replacement, maybe epson C2900 @ 85 only.

 

Fantastic value

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: Quality printing, affordable, easy set-up
Cons: No USB cable included
Opinion:
I bought this machine at a very low price through a promotional offer. I've had HP, Epson and Canon printers and never seriously considered Brother before, but in this case the price was so good it was worth a gamble.

I have to say that I'm very impressed by the quality of this machine. Granted, I do not have very high requirements for a personal home-use multifunction, but the print/copy/scan quality are as good as I would expect from higher priced competing machines.

I had a software setup question which was answered by a courteous Brother support representative within two hours along with screen captures showing me what to do.

Kudos to Brother for a fine product and good service.

 

Value For Money

Mar 3, 2007

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: individual ink cartridges, built in memory card reader, Pictbridge, Enlarger/reducer photopying
Cons: frequent cleaning of printer head every 20 or more pages
Opinion:
I bought Brother DCP-130C for the following reasons:

1. Value for money considering its only 3,900 pesos or USD80 with 2 years warranty.
2. Easy interface
3. I think this is one of few entry level multifunction inkjet printers with enlarger/reducer copying function at USD80.
4. Built in pictbridge, card readers
5. Easy to install ink cartridges
6. Nice paper handling
7. Easy to remove paper jams

I just hope Brother will provide the following:

1. LCD backlight
2. More software freebies like basic photo editing software

 

Great in a compact

Dec 26, 2006

Rating: 8 out of 10 (Excellent)
Pros: Cheap and useful as standalone printer and copier, memory card reader
Cons: Sometime slow printing speed. Due to cleaning process
Opinion:
I like it is a 4 ink cartridge, no wasting ink. Just change the ink that finish.

Memory card reader is the another point that I choose this printer wheni make a comparison.

First time buy Brotehr product. Satisfy.
