Brother PE780D vs PE770 for best machine to begin with
992206
Julie, do you know the ballpark cost of the PE-780D? I'm doing my research on embroidery machines before I make a decision. There's not too many distributors in my area so I wanted to make sure I get a good price.

I'd recommend Corel Painter Essentials 5 because it has a similar GUI to Adobe Photoshop, tons of brushes and other mediums, and it won't break the bank. I have PE4 & I still use it more than Painter X3 (which I also have). If you plan on doing any serious drawing or painting, PE5 is the way to go.

I've researched this unit for my wife & found these Brother machines a similar series: Sixty-stitch BC 1000/CP 6500/CS 6000I/CS 6000T/EX 660 Seventy-stitch HS 2500/CP 7500/XR 7700 Seventy-seven-stitch ES 2000 Eighty-stitch XR 9000 It seems cosmetics, number of stitches, and low price variations are the only differences

I have the brother PE 700 and Letter It. They are great together. I use the PES format. I would guess that the PE 770 does also. Letter It actually is compatible with about a dozen or more formats, so it should work for you. You can also check the Amazing Designs website. They may have more information regarding the compatibility of their software.

Brother has a very nice comparison page here: http://www.brother-usa.com/MFC/ModelCompare/4/MFC9560CDW_MFC9970CDW?tab=full Basically, the 9970 handles legal sized paper, is 20% faster (30 ppm vs 25 ppm), and has a larger ADF (50 pages vs. 35 pages).

According to Brother's web site, you are going to want either an LC71 or LC75 (high yield). See https://www.brother-usa.com/supplies/accessoryList.aspx?Model=MFCJ435W#.Uxc7N_ldVZV .

I don't do machine embroidery so I can't help with that. I can only say I have been very impressed with the quality of the Brother machines. I now have three - serger, the pc400prw and the pq1500s. Great machines

Here's another "thank you" for the information. I just received my new Brother MFC-9840CDW and bought the recommended SODIMM from OEMPCWorld. Everything worked fine, right out of the box. Fantastic!

Go with the CS6000i, for 5 bucks, the features are better. and it has the feet to do quilting with. All of the Brother Project Runway models are more expensive .... and you pay for their free advertising.

Your best bet is to buy a Brother MFC7860DW. I pushed my HP printer off a cliff a while ago...Never again.

I'm on the fence too, but I think I'm going to go with the 770 over 1100. I've researched the two from tech site to tech site and they've all pointed to the 770 over the 1100. 10mps for $159 with free shipping isn't too shabby. If it turns out to be junk at least I'll give an honest review.

I have a Brother, and I think it's a PE-770. I just download the monograms onto a jump drive and then put the jump drive into my USB port on my machine.

I have to agree with A. Geib I bumped up the phyical memory, used quality paper printed at the highest resolution and got very good resultsIt is abit slow on the first thing printing and sounds like a jet when I turn it on, but it was worth the money so far, I also have a Brotherat work and its a workhorse.I've used HP's Lexmark, Cannon, Epson it compares to them all, the interesting thing for me is watching the sell price move up and downI may start tracking it for fun.

I just upgraded my 8600 plus to the 8620 today and have aleady noticed alot of little enhacements. The automatic document feeder is more reliable and handles larger loads. Duplex printing is much faster. The output tray is less sticky and doesn't jam as easily when you pull it out.

Yes, according to Brother's web site the 720 is standard and the tn750 is the high yield.

This is our third Brother machine, which we purchased for the home. The other two are in our office. All if them, and specifically this model for hone use, perform excellently in scanning, printing and copying. We use the scanner for images and documents that need to be emailed. You can set up you own preferences for scan types and defaults. There are four main scanning types to set up: color, grey-scale, black and white, and custom. Each has a default you can change. In addition, you can scan to jpeg, PDF, bmp, etc. Although I only use the jpeg and PDF settings. I have used it for images that need to be manipulated in Photoshop, which I scan up at 600dpi for my use. I think it's passable for my use (documents and small photo work).
