About this product
The Brother MFC-J6540DWE is designed for small offices and home workspaces needing A3 printing without the bulk and cost of a laser printer. It offers print, scan, copy and fax functions, handling A4 invoices to A3 spreadsheets, printing at 28ppm in colour and mono. The 250-sheet tray suits busy days, and automatic two-sided printing reduces paper usage while keeping documents professional. It connects via wired Ethernet or dual-band Wi-Fi, letting your team print wirelessly from laptops, smartphones or tablets using Apple AirPrint or the Brother iPrint&Scan app.
The colour touchscreen makes navigation straightforward even if you're not particularly technical, and the flatbed scanner handles up to A3 documents with sharp detail. You get borderless printing for photos and marketing materials, plus a built-in fax for sending documents when email isn't an option. It uses 4 ink cartridges from the LC422 series, and you can easily swap them when they run low. The printer comes with ink cartridges included, so you're ready to start printing straight away, and it's compatible with both Windows and Mac for simple setup across different systems.

Excellent MFP
Only had the machine for a short time but so far it's done everything I've asked of it. Setup is easy, as is operation. Quality seems fine. A3 paper through rear feeder rather than fixed tray, but fine for occasional A3 use.

Great printer
Very easy to set up - excellent quality.

Excellent printer
I bought this A3 printer a month ago and I love it. Excellent results on everything i have printed from acetate sheets for OHP to envelopes and A3 photos. Highly recommend it. Signed up for inks as well. Which is a game changer.

Multi-function but not great at all
Bought this to replace an old Brother Multi (A3) and this had to be A3 too. Set up was easy but when scanning some docs with images it de-skewed (rotated thro 45 degrees) for no reason and did so on reboot. Issue has not re-appeared after re-installing software but was annoying...

Good quality and speedy prints
Bought this a month ago and so far so good, does good quality prints which start as soon as you send a demand to the printer, also does automatic duplex printing, A3 and A4, scans copies and Fax if needed. The only reason I dropped a star is due to the weight and size of the unit, it is quite large and weighs over 20kg. However, no qualms about recommending this all in one printer.

Fast and Great for Pictures
My first A3 printer and I'm really impressed with its A3 photo printing. Plus for normal A4 prints, time to first page is much better that I expected. As of now, nothing to fault.

Actually has A3 bed
It was difficult to understand if you could print or scan in A3 format with most printers this printer definitely does both , suitable for smaller architectural drawings

The perfect A3 copier, scanner and printer
I bought this Brother machine because my experience with Brother has been very good. My small office set up already had an A4 Brother mono laser copier, scanner, printer, and an A4 Brother colour laser printer, and Brother has impressed me. The work I do often requires A3 prints, which I have had to outsource but it has become increasingly costly and difficult to get this done. I decided that I just had to ut my losses and get an A3 colour printer to be efficient and effective. I spotted the Brother MFC-J6540DWE and my only reservation was that it relied on inkjet rather than laser. However, a laser A3 colour printer was very bulky, expensive to run, and not really suitable for my setup. I had given inkjet printers a wide berth for many years because the nozzles easily clog up and from the start always seem to leave streaks and missing a few dots. Not a problem with this Brother machine though! It is fast, very fast, at punching out clear, crisp A3 and A4 documents. The A3 scanner was a bonus for me, but now I have it, it is so useful I wonder how I managed without it. The footprint for the machine may not suit everyone but in my opinion, it fits comfortably to one side of my desk without causing any issues of clutter for me. Setting up was easy, although it pays to take your time to familiarise yourself on what you have to do to get things right first time. I read one review commented that the output was not well collected but I have had no problems at all with collating a stack of printed documents. The automatic document feeder makes scanning A4 AND A3 documents a breeze - literally, with a very fast scan time and perfect alignment of images without that annoying skew that some document feeders seem keen to do with slightly misfed pages.
