It doesn’t matter whether it’s a large thriving corporation, a small one-person business or a residence, printing costs are maddening to computer network users.
Helping consumers to manage their printing costs is the Bridgewater, N.J.-based manufacturer Brother. Adding to its Business Smart series of color inkjet all-in-one printer/copier/scanner/fax machine solutions, the Garden State company has introduced two new printing products.
The MFC-J5920DW and MFC-J6925DW printers have been developed to serve as the company’s flagship products in its Business Smart Plus and Business Smart Pro product lines. Brother says the products are designed to save users printing costs through the implementation of its INKvestment Super High Yield ink cartridges.
“Through conversations with small business owners and those working in small or home offices, we know print costs remain a concern, especially for high-print volume businesses,” says Eric M. Dahl, director of marketing, SOHO products. “Our customers tell us that within printer and multi-function products, cost-efficiency must be paired with reliability and innovative functionality to fit within a small business workflow. INKvestment cartridge comparable models offer hardware value combined with a lower printing cost alternative while we continue to deliver high volume paper handling, mobile device and cloud connectivity, and the fast print speeds that are expected of our Business Smart Lineup.”
According to the company, the INKvestment cartridge products offer a lower cost of ownership via 2,400 page black cartridges for under $25 and 1,200 page color cartridges for just under $15. Brother says that when broken down to a cost-per-page statistic, the cost-of-ownership of these printers breaks down to $0.01 for black-and-white and $0.05 for color pages.
Other features of the printers include a 50-sheet capacity automatic document feeder (ADF) in the MFC-J5920DW, a 35-sheet ADF in the MFC-J6925DW that can also handle 11×17 paper, and dual paper trays that offer a total of 500 sheets for high-volume printing.
The printers are capable of producing 22ppm with black-and-white and 20ppm with color printing speeds, and both products incorporate onscreen navigation 3.7-inch menus with swipe functionality. Users can also utilize the products’ wireless capabilities for printing and scanning via cloud services such as Google Drive, Dropbox, Google Cloud Print, Evernote, Mopria, Wi-Fi Direct, AirPrint and Brother Print & Scan.
