SPECIFICATIONS

Overview & Positioning

  • The Brother MFC‑J6555DW is part of Brother’s INKvestment Tank / all‑in‑one inkjet line. 

  • It’s designed for users who need color printing, scanning, copying, faxing, and occasionally larger formats (up to 11″ × 17″, i.e. ledger / tabloid). 

  • One of its selling points is that it comes with “up to 1 year of ink in box”, meaning initial ink allowances are generous.

✅ Strengths & What It Does Well

  • Wide format / 11″ × 17″ capability — Not all all‑in‑ones support ledger / tabloid printing; this model’s support for up to 11 × 17 is a strong differentiator.

  • Robust ink supply up front — The “up to 1 year ink in box” helps reduce initial worry about running out of ink. 

  • Solid speeds — 30 ppm both for color and B/W is competitive in this class. 

  • Automatic duplex printing — helps reduce paper usage and is convenient for multi-page documents. 

  • Good media flexibility — The multipurpose tray and support for long / banner media (in MP tray) give more printing options. 

  • Strong connectivity options — Dual-band WiFi, Ethernet, USB, mobile printing support make it versatile in networked / mixed-device environments. 

  • Advanced security — Features such as triple-layer security, secure function locks, network protocol choices, etc. help in shared / office settings. 

  • Good document handling — The 50-sheet ADF helps with scanning / copying multi-page documents. 

Best Fit Scenarios & Use Cases

This printer is a strong fit when:

  • You need color printing + large format (11×17) capability in a single machine.

  • You expect moderate to relatively high color printing (presentations, reports, design drafts) and want better ink economy than standard cartridge models.

  • You have a small office or home office with multiple users and want flexible connectivity (wired, wireless, mobile).

  • Document scanning / multi-page copying is part of your workflow (though if you need many duplex scans, the lack of ADF duplex is a drawback).

  • You care about security in a shared environment (so secure print, network protocol flexibility, locks, etc. matter).
