Brother DCP-110c Color Flatbed Multi-Function Center

Considering the fact that this printer was free with the purchase of a digital camera, I would not recommend purchasing this printer. If you can get it for free - go for it. Biggest complaint was trying to print standard sized photos. It never would print the pictures correctly on photo paper. The scanner and copier worked fine. Like all the other reviews, ink cartridge replacement was very irritating. LCD panel was very hard to read. After 2 years (of very little usage), I got an indication in the LCD display, "Unable to Clean..." message. It no longer works. Now I am stuck with new packs of ink that I will never use. I would take another free one though.

I owned this printer for a year and a half. It finally died last week so I was actually motivated enough to get another one. The scanner never worked (tech support couldn't figure it out, and since I don't use a scanner all that often I let it go). As others mentioned, the LCD is terrible. Had to view it from the side while shielding the screen from the other side. Paper jams were frequent. And if one color cartridge was empty, the printer wouldn't work at all (even on B&W setting). Others mentioned good color prints - but I never managed to get good ones even with excellent paper and brother brand ink (and, yes, I do take good photos). However, it did an outstanding job on B&W photographs - crisp with great contrast. And it was useful for printing last minute stuff for work when I was only done said stuff at 3am and it was due at 8. This time, I did my homework before buying a printer...

Great machine at a great price. While not totally mobile, it is one of the best priced and lightest printer/scanners I have located with a flat bed that I can use as a mobile device. I have ordered two machines and have highly recommended it to friends.

We purchased this product as a gift. We have never been able to get it to work. It does not recognize ink cartridges as installed when they are. The point of purchase (not Amazon) refuses to take it back because (on their recommendation) we removed the UPC code and sent it in for a mail-in rebate. Back to the point, this machine is utterly useless in the literal sense. It does not function at all, let alone "multi-function." If you do decide to buy this worthless item, be advised that the machine requires individual ink cartridges for black, cyan, magenta and yellow, and it will not print if even ONE of the cartridges is empty. Ah, yes. Very useful.

This is one of a series, based on the same print engine. The units range from a simple scanner/printer (this model), to others with fax and even auto collators. So, it's simply a matter of features to base your choice on.

Since I do not have a land-line (cell only, thank you) and needed a cheap printer for photo and scanning, this model seemed ideal, because it's dirt cheap, prints decent photos when using high-quality gloss paper, and has one of the best color scanners I've seen. It scanned images much better than Epson units.

It has an unusual design, in that the ink cartridges are stationary, rather than moving with the print heads. Though, still not ideal as HP, which give you a new print head with each new cartridge.

Text quality and graphics are average. It does read memory flash cards (but no CRT display), and has very intuitive on-board controls. The basic LCD display is hard to read.

My only major complaint is that they install extra software (on start-up) that isn't really necessary and eats up your computer's memory.

The first unit had a banding problem, but the replacement is working fine, with no jams or clogged print heads (like my previous Epson inkjet).

For the money, this printer is just fine.
