Customer Reviews

We have had this all-in-one for about a month now. It is great! It makes great photocopies, scanned images and prints from our computer with ease. The one thing that I like the most, however, is that the inks are in separate and inexpensive tanks. When the yellow runs out, you just replace the yellow . . . imagine that! Also, the ink tanks are super inexpensive when I find them here on Amazon or on Ebay. Shop around a bit and you will see what I mean.
I would definitely purchase this unit again.

I just bought the DCP-J125 a few days ago from my local Pamida (on sale for $49.95 w/instant rebate), and I'm fairly happy with it so far. Mind now, I'm coming to color inkjet multifunction printers after nearly a decade of separate monochrome laser printers ; standalone scanners, so just having color printouts at all is still a bit of a novelty for me. I was concerned about ink cartridges being more expensive per page than laser toner; however, I immediately placed an order for 3rd-party compatible ink cartridges via eBay after I got this machine set up ; running, and got enough ink cartridges to print out roughly the same number of pages as one of my old laser printer's compatible toner cartridges -- for about the same price (approx. $23.00 including shipping for 6 black ; 3 each cyan/magenta/yellow). I feel confident I can get similarly good deals for ink cartridges here on Amazon as well.
I don't much care for the Paperport software which came with this machine (too complex for my needs, plus the publisher won't support it, since it's an older version bundled with hardware). However, the BookScan Enhancer/Whiteboard Enhancer software (also included with the DCP-J125) is a godsend for me as an eBay seller, since most of my product "photos" are actually scans of book/DVD/software covers. It makes use of the very simple scanning utility from the Brother Control Center to scan (f.ex.) a book cover, and then automatically crops, resizes ; applies minor "fixes" to the image in just a couple of clicks, all without having to leave the BookScan Enhancer program. (I had been getting similar results with my old hardware, but had to use separate programs to scan the item ; edit the image -- a much more time-consuming process.)
I'm not crazy about the paper input compartment only holding 100 sheets (my laser printers, a Samsung ML-2510 Monochrome Compact Personal Laser Printer and a Brother HL-1640, each held 250 sheets); however, it does help keep the overall size of the device down (it just barely fits across one end of the repurposed TV cart I use for a printer cart). The paper path seems pretty straightforward ; uncomplicated (not as many bits to open to clear a paper jam as there were with the laser printers). At $50, this is cheaper than any standalone replacement scanner I could get, and bundling the printer ; scanner into 1 device frees up a big chunk of my desktop.
Amazon's description of this as being "wireless" is inaccurate; in fact, it seems to be the ONLY current-model inkjet multifunction device Brother makes that ISN'T wireless. It also has no fax capability -- something I don't need but others might. I would suggest sending college students off with a slightly fancier Brother MFP model (such as the Brother Black Compact Inkjet All-in-One with Fax and Wireless Networking (MFCJ265W) ), for the sake of the increasingly common wireless networks at most college campuses. However, for at-home use for families, Gr. K-12 students, and very frugal micro-sellers like myself, it seems like a sweet little MFP, and I'm looking forward to making its acquaintance more fully in the coming months.
