Colour inkjet printing and benefits of using genuine ink cartridges
Inkjet printing process
| 1 |
The Brother print head has four inkjet elements servicing four colour inks.
Each inkjet element consists of nozzles and channels covered with a piezoelectric
ceramic actuator and filter.
|
| 2 |
Ink is sprayed through microscopic nozzles in the print head onto the paper
using piezoelectric ceramic technology. A controlled electric charge to the
piezoelectric ceramic produces a pumping action, forming and ejecting ink-droplets.
|
| 3 |
The print head assembly on the carriage, with connecting ink cartridges, moves back
and forth across the paper to produce the desired image.
|
| 4 |
A stepper motor drives gears and rollers designed to advance the paper with precision
each time the print head assembly is ready for another pass across the paper. The paper
is then ejected once the printed image is complete.
|
Benefits of using Genuine Inks
 |
Genuine Brother ink is the result of extensive Research & Development of over 100
different elements.
|
|
Combined, in the right quantity and variation, these elements ensure reliable operation
and protection of your machine and it's long life print head. Benefits include:
|
| |
Correct colour matching |
|
Your Brother product uses a predetermined method of calculating the appropriate
mixture of inks in order to create vibrant colours. This calculation in based upon
Brothers' ink formula.
|
| |
Even ink delivery and distribution |
|
The viscosity of genuine Brother ink is designed to flow through critical points of
the print head with ease and on demand.
|
| |
Anti-smearing & anti-clogging qualities |
| |
| • |
To prevent pages from smearing during the printing process, genuine Brother
ink penetrates and dries on the paper in optimum time with your Brother product.
|
| • |
Delay between page prints is based on Brother ink drying time specification.
|
| • |
To help prevent the print head from clogging, genuine Brother ink contains carefully
selected dyes, penetrates, water and other materials that specifically meet the
specifications of your Brother product, ensuring smooth and reliable operation of the
print head.

Benefits of using genuine
Brother photo paper
| 1 |
Brother’s Premium Glossy Photo Paper has been specifically designed to produce the best possible print result from your Brother machine..
|
| 2 |
Improve Print Longevity
|
| |
| a |
The combination of Paper and Ink is one of the key factors in achieving high
quality photos with an increased print longevity. Print longevity is the amount
of time taken for your print to fade when exposed to environmental factors such
as sunlight and ozone. Because Brother has formulated their inks and paper
together, you can be guaranteed that your print will stay vivid and vibrant
for many years. |

Laser printing and benefits of using genuine toners and drums
Laser Printing Process
| 1 |
The drum surface is positively charged while the drum rotates.
|
| 2 |
A laser beam emits light onto the drum surface during rotation. The area exposed to the laser beam forms an electrostatic image to be printed.
|
| 3 |
Charged toner particles are attracted to the electrostatic image on the drum.
|
| 4 |
Paper passes the drum where a negative charge is applied to it causing the toner to be drawn away from the drum surface and deposit onto the paper surface.
|
| 5 |
The image transferred to the paper by static electricity is fixed by heat and pressure through the heat roller and pressure roller within the fuser assembly.
|
| 6 |
The printed document exits the printer.
|
Benefits of using Genuine Toners and drums
|
Print Resolution and Image Quality
|
|
Each component of a Brother Laser product is designed to work with the other. Here are the benefits of using Brother laser toners over imitations:
|
|
Toner particle size, shape and colour pigmentation all have a direct impact on the sharpness and graininess of the printed image. Genuine Brother toner is formulated to meet:
|
| |
| • |
high-quality resolution |
| • |
grey scale |
| • |
solid fill images |
| • |
in line with the product design specifications.
|
|
| |
Gloss finish |
|
Toner particles are combined with a polymeric binder that holds the toner pigment in place in the final image. The binder also provides gloss to images. Genuine Brother toner is delicately balanced to provide even flow and toner distribution onto the paper.
|
| |
Bonding of toner to the paper |
|
Toner particles must be heated above their melting point in order for them to flow onto the paper, cool and become solid.
|
|
Each Brother laser product is designed to reach a pre-set heating temperature based on the genuine Brother toner formula.
|
|
The preset temperature may differ from model to model, due to the product design specifications. |
Occupational health and safety issues with using non-genuine inks and toners
Using non-genuine Brother consumables could be an occupational health and safety risk
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) describe the chemical and physical
properties of a material and provides advice on safe handling and use of the
material. The product manufacturer generally publishes these documents.
Therefore, Brother provides MSDS for genuine Brother consumables and not
for non-genuine consumables.
