color printing quality

I have not used this printer for photos, I have a photo centric printer for that duty. For printing presentations and general output, the color output looks great, accurate and bright, never blotchy or streaky.

We use it for office work including generating charts and graphs. Print quality is very good, but so much depends on the quality of paper used too. We use HP Bright White 24lb. with a brightness rating of 97. No regrets.

No color, it is a thermal printer. Doesn't use ink, uses heat to transfer the data to the paper. You need special paper for it.

Depends on how you qualify working. Will print but colorprofile will not be correct. Tends to be overly saturated and dark. Not worth it IMHO

I had to change the settings on my printer to be more vibrant. I don't think it had anything to do with how old the pkg. was. Try to darken your image before printing and "up" the color tones.

I purchased V4INK cartrdiges (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009RGOJ3M/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and they have been working well the past few months. Please note that I have not done a thorough color comparison - the color images I've printed look pretty good and I am NOT doing any color sensitive work with this printer.

Printer does very good print quality. It's not photo quality but works well for most applications. It's a great printer.

I print on it regularly, but have never tried color. If it is a laser printer, the print stays on even when wet. The paper is not chemical prrof though.

If you use Epson printers, ink and paper the results are incredible. Both my printers print with 6 colors. People cannot believe the quality of the pictures.Chuck

I haven't monitored the copy count very closely, but I've tried a lot of after market toners and this brand prints dark and sharp. I'm very satisfied with the print quality. And I don't have to shake the toner cartridge until it's almost empty.

Color print quality is horrible!! I have had this since 12-15-08. Haven't printed that much but my color pictures are really bad. They have red splotches on them and are very grainy. Copies are worse. I have contacted Brother, but it has not been 24 hours yet, so we will see if they get back to me. I think this will be going back.

I have no idea other than to make sure that your print settings are set for the "best" quality. The default is "normal". Also be sure that the paper setting is the same as what you are using.

Yes. I've printed from a light red to full bright red and a dark red. And, every one of them prints true to the image on the screen.

It's not even close. I've been using this printer pretty consistently for the last half year, and it doesn't even match my other color inkjet for print quality. Even on "best" quality setting, the colors are washed out and faded looking compared to color laser or my other inkjet.

I have had no issues with the quality of the paper. Unfortunately, I cannot program my printer to do double sided printing since I switched to an iMac, so I can't answer that statement. For the one-sided copying that I do though, it is fine.

I print pictures from 4 different computers and all have the same quality(good). I would look at the printer settings on your computer. Settings should be set to pitures and the quality should be set to best. Also make sure the type paper used it set to the type paper you are using.
