They also looked a little flat and lacking the vibrant brightness you get with a really good photo printer. Photos on glossy photo paper appeared reasonably clear and detailed with a good transition between colours and no smudging. Dual scanning is a feature you might expect to find on a printer at this price point. It’s just a pity you can only copy one side of the page at a time. The ADF worked flawlessly and the scanner is quite fast and accurate too. If that’s what you want to begin with, look for the Brother MFC-J4540DW XL All In Box print bundle, which is more expensive because it includes the XL carts.
That’s three years worth of ink for the average small office. It’s because the XL version of these carts come full to the brim and ready to print a staggering 6,000 mono pages and 5,000 colour. The cartridges look like they’re less than half full, but you haven’t been cheated. The box includes a generous amount of ink too, enough for 3,000 mono pages and 1,500 colour. The internal memory is somewhat limited at 128MB and perhaps that’s why the first print out time is a sluggish 10 seconds. The print resolution is as you would expect at 1,200 x 2,400 and matches the scan resolution exactly. It prints quite quickly at 20ipm (imprints per minute) and hardly slows down at all for colour documents, which is unusual for an inkjet.

Long experience shows that an appropriate level of brightness for print work is, for most folks, between 80 and 120 cd/m2. So the basic problem most people encounter is that their monitor is simply showing them an overly bright version of their image and leading them to incorrectly think their image is more bright than it is - and when you go to print (with a high quality print vendor who prints properly) - you then experience the actual reality of the correct printing of the numbers specified in your digital file, and you then get the dreaded 'too dark prints'.
Even if you've adjusted the brightness down a bit, a lot of monitors remain in practise set to far too high levels of brightness for print work - and some monitors, even on 0% brightness, simply can't be brought down to levels appropriate for print work.
