Brother IntelliFAX 1800C - Multifunction ( copier / fax / printer ) - color - ink-jet - copying (up to): 7 ppm (mono) / 4 ppm (color) - printing (up to): 10 ppm (mono) / 8 ppm (color) - 100 sheets - 14.4 Kbps - USB

Four separate, high-yield ink cartridges supply optimal efficiency and a low cost per page. Built-in functions include forwarding, paging, and remote retrieval, along with delayed and batch transmission. A standard electronic cover page is sent automatically, and a 112-station auto-dialer provides plenty of room for all your frequently dialed numbers.

You can also make quick copies of your documents--up to 99 prints from a single original. The 1800C includes an answering machine interface and functions separately as a telephone, with caller ID (subscription required) and a distinctive ring for the numbers in your auto-dialer.

Brother supplies a one-year limited warranty that covers parts and service.

It only holds about 50 sheets of paper, and it wants to feed all 50 sheets at once. Expect 3 or 4 paper james on one 5-page document.

I'm so sick of it, I'm mixing up the ink cartridges to use up my supply. When the ink is all gone, I'm going to make some fine adjustments to it with a baseball bat and then store it in a dumpster.


But you can't beat the customer service...   June 12, 2004
Even considering what the previous reviewers have said, we have TWICE had breakdowns on this machine, and even though it's now a couple of years old, both times Brother has replaced it for free.

I used this as a printer, I never faxed with it. I'd use it to print b&w documents and color cd/dvd labels. The print quality is never good, especially if you use bidirectional printing, that really makes it look awful. Additionally, if you are trying to print up a good image the printer constantly makes black blots from all the clogs coming out. The cleaning is pointless, it does nothing at all.

It hasn't died, but it no longer prints an ounce of magenta. Removing the entire printer box indicates that no magenta is getting through to the printer head.
This is unfortunate because the warranty only just expired, and I have a big box of ink cartridges.

I bought them in bulk because this printer goes through color ink so fast, you MUST replace the cartridges when it says, and the cartridge will still have a good bit of ink in it, what a waste and polluting too.
The brother cartridges just stick it to you for how long they last, $36 is a lot of money for three tiny ink cartridges that lasts for so few print jobs. I bought a bunch of them for a discount and have all these unusable cartridges now. I feel like a real sucker, I hope you don't make my mistake.

It's clear by the other posters I am not the only one unhappy with the print quality or ink consumption.
I wish I'd never bought this printer, it was not only expensive for how long it lasted, it was very expensive to use because of how much ink it gobbled down.

Very unfortunate choice.
