Brother’s latest Inkjet printers offer up to two years’ worth of ink in-box

Sydney, Australia – 11th October 2021: Brother International Australia has today announced the introduction of the INKvestment Small Office range with three new INKvestment Tank A4 Inkjet printers.

With over two-thirds of the Australian workforce working from home as of June 20211, the demand and prevalence of hybrid working practices and technology continues to grow.

The INKvestment Small Office range is the perfect tool for the remote workforce, providing a rich value offering and incredible feature set. For those who need consistency and quality from their printer, the MFC-J4340DW XL comes with up to two years of Brother’s own premium pigment-based INKvestment inks in-box2, dramatically reducing printing costs with up to 6,000 pages of black ink and 5,000 pages of colour ink3. This value extends across the entire range with sister models, the MFC-J4440DW and MFC-J4540DW both including up to one year of ink in-box2.

The INKvestment Small Office range also keeps you working with incredible print speeds of up to 20 pages per minute6, a lightning-fast First Page Out Time (FPOT) of 5.8 seconds and scanning speeds of up to 17 images per minute7. The range is built to last with a robust design, crafted from hard-wearing materials and featuring a newly designed premium long-life print head. All this, backed by a two-year return to base warranty* and free technical support for the lifetime of the product.

Offering even more to users, the INKvestment Small Office range also provides flexibility by allowing users to print and scan from wherever they work with the new Brother Mobile Connect app. With access from your desktop, laptop, smartphone or tablet, users of the app can do everything from check ink levels in real time to scan directly to the cloud.
