Brother 420 Printer Not Feeding Paper

Better than Epson, HP! The Brother is reliable, easier to use, flawless paper feeding and wi-go compatible.

Amazing paper, hardest part is feeding it in the printer, which really isn't that bad. LOVE this paper.

this is the only Matte paper i will use. nothing else comes close nuff said. it is a thick paper that needs care when feeding it into your printer, but that is a small price to pay for the results you get from the paper

After being frustrated by the local print shops refusing to print on my own 24 paper, I managed to negotiate this new printer with my wife. My old Epson R2400 is getting a little worn out and only prints 13 wide. My project required a 24x30 print. Reading reviews and articles about this and other wide format printers, the only adverse comment I saw for the T2170 were complaints about feeding paper. With plenty of experience arguing with recalcitrant printers, I took the plunge and purchased this one. Surprise with the size and weight of the new printer had me a little worried if it would fit in my computer room. This is a BIG printer, nearly 3' wide and 1 1/2' deep, I couldn't put it where I had originally planned (I should have bought the stand too.) After rearranging things and finishing setup, I tried my first print. I had no problems feeding roll paper, and very little with cut sheets. The printer is very fussy about skew when loading, but if you carefully follow the guides, it goes in cleanly, even with an unevenly cut leading edge. The automatic cutter took care of that on the first print. Prints were excellent and well worth the price. It is much more convenient to feed cut sheets from the back rather than the front of the printer, so be sure to leave some room, or put it on a moveable stand of some kind. I consider this printer well worth the price for someone who needs the width. I can't wait to try a really big panoramic print!

I needed to replace a Brother ADS-2000 scanner that I had to retire due to no TWAIN driver for Windows 11. The Canon imageFORMULA R40 has proven to be an excellent replacement, exceeding the Brother in many ways: scan quality, quietness, really improved document feeding. Of particular note is the small document feeding. The Canon's input guides are smooth and easy to adjust, and small receipts feed effortless, without the need for a carrier like the Brother required. The Canon TWAIN drivers meshed very well with FileCenter, my document management app, and I am very happy with this purchase. Kudos to B&H's customer service, my shipment was delayed almost three weeks due to a snow event in my area. During the delivery delay, this scanner went on sale, and B&H credited the difference! Awesome product and awesome customer service!

Our second Brother printer, would not have anything else !

This ink in the Epson XP-420 makes amazing color prints. It's amazing for an under-$100 printer.

Brother printer needs to use brother ink. I bought another brand ink that did not work.

I had an earlier Brother Color printer, the HL-3070CW. This newer printer provides two trays, and machine duplex printer, and is faster. Additionally, the path for the paper is better and allows thicker paper and also provides less curling.Overall, its a superior printer and a step up form the earlier version.

This is really nice paper. I used a Brother 11x17 inkjet. I don't usually get great photo quality out of the printer, but this paper is a big improvement! It's outstanding! I will purchase this again!
