THIS scanner is color. But I have no idea if it works on a mac. It certainly makes excellent scanned pictures & documents in color and black & white.

Black and white and grayscale. If you try to scan in color, Adobe Acrobat Pro program crashes.

It prints only in black and white - not color. I think :-) I am very happy with mine, if that's any help. FAST and efficient.

I don't have black & white negatives, but I did scan old colored negatives with no problem. I don't see why the scanner wouldn't work with black & whites also.

I'm sorry - I'm using Windows 7, so I don't know. But I really thought the scanner did a good job and was exactly what I wanted. Hope someone else can answer your question.

Yes. On top of scanner is a button that says C/BW and shows up on the scanner screen as color. Mono for black and white. Push the button for which one you want.

To be honest with you-Didnt work for me. The sound was fine but the picture quality was similar to Black and White with maybe 1 or 2 vague colors. I was extremely disappointed in this product which failed to do as advertised.

I assume it would be because you plug it in with a USB connection, however you do need a driver for it in order to change colors which might not be mac compatible. You should still be able to just plug it in and it should just work for the mac.

It will scan to Mac. I can't 100% say for sure about black and white negatives as I haven't tried this. The slides we had were from the 60's and 70's so some of the negatives were faded and I thought the scan was accurate to the faded color of the slide

Since it has two buttons on the front panel labeled "color" and "Mono", it might lead you to believe it is a color printer. It is not. The "color" button is only for scanning in color.

Obvious that it does NOT print other than black. The question should have been does it SCAN a color document. I understand that it does. Of course it will print it in black, but I understand that it will save the scanned document in color (JPG, BMP, etc.) to a chosen folder in your computer.

I was interested until I saw it was not Mac compatible. Too bad they are so short-sighted.

It is not a printer, It's cuts exelant, and I'm a PC user I don't know about comparability with a MAC

On a Mac scanning actually is in the printer driver itself. You have to go hunting for it in System Preferences (in OS X Mountain Lion) under the Print and Scan preference. There, once you look at the preferences for the Brother MFC-J435W printer you will see that there is both a print and a scan section to the preference pane. If you click on the word scan (at the top next to print) a button appears in the preference window that says Open Scanner. Clicking there opens a scanner window with pretty basic functionality, but at least it does do both black and white was well as color scans.

Hi, Yelena!The most common question about any scanning device is "Does it work with a Mac," and that's because scanners typically do not work with a Mac and Mac owners know this. This scanner does not work with a Mac. Thank you for asking. It does work with Windows XP and later.Best Regards,Mark LamendolaMindconnection, LLC

Whatever you do DO NOT BUY THIS SCANNER. It does not work on a mac, though it says it does, and mustek offers no driver support. Look through the reviews of this product and you will find many frustrated people who bought this for their mac and found it does not work. Buy an epson large format printer/scanner. They have many out there that scan 12x18 and are of a comparable price, and offer driver support for mac, windows, and linux
