Ratings and Reviews

Customer reviews

Rated 5 out of 5 by mcaeronen from Brother DCP-197C All the reviews of this printer focus on its print quality and speed but this printer has another more important function. My wife uses this function in her craft projects. She uses it as a standalone copier which enlarges or reduces the size of all sorts of projects from paper to cloth including three dimensional objects . The Brother DCP-197C will enlarge or reduce items in steps of ONE PERCENT from 25% to 400% I kid you not this really works. The ink cartridges have been redesigned and there are four so you replace individual colours. If you have any projects that require the resizing of objects paper or otherwise use this standalone or connected to a computer.This is our third Brother printer copier over a period of approximately 10 years. A tip with any three dimensional object scan with the lid up in a dark room.

Rated 5 out of 5 by CMarie from Brother DCP-197C is a great product This Brother DCP-197C copier/scanner/printer is a good product. It's very easy to setup and also the ink is cheap and easy to replace. Unlike other printers when one ink is out you don't need to replace the whole ink just the one ink cartridge that runs out. When it comes to loading the paper it's in a paper draw all neatly secured and not hanging out. You can also connect a photo camera to print and scan your photos. The only problem is that this product doesn't come with USB cable to connect it to your PC, but you can get it for cheap separately anyway.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Longshot from Brother DCP-197C Good all round budget printer. Replacement cartridges are very affordable unlike so many other modern printers. The colour density on plain paper is a bit low & the options in the software to deepen the colour do not seem to exist unlike other printers I have owned. The controls on the printer could be easier to use & the LCD display is far from easy to read. The information in the display is basic & not always easy to understand what it means. Scanning & copying are both fairly easy but agian the controls are not intuitive.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sven from DCP-197C Having increased the level of printing needs (especially grandchildren homework) I needed a more robust and cost effective printer. The DCP-197C satisified those requirements. It was very easy to install and set up. The print quality is excellent and the numerous other features it offers makes it a very worthwhile purchase.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Marianne from Sturdy printer, good quality print I've only had this printer for a couple of weeks, but so far I'm quite happy with it. Excellent print quality. I haven't used it yet for photo printing. One thing that surprises me is that it doesn't automatically print double-sided ~ can't see any reference to that in the handbook. I've just been doing one page and then taking the sheet out and putting it back in again to print the next side. Would have thought this facility should be standard. However, overall I'm very pleased with this printer.

Rated 4 out of 5 by SUFFOLK from The product. I am very pleased with the printer. I had to replace my old one after 18 months because the head went. As I wanted something that was cheap I went for the same. I hope that this one lasts longer.
