Brother International, a leader in home and business IT peripherals that focuses on the \u2018Customer-First\u2019 approach, has introduced an all-new Full A3 Multi-Function Centre Series for small and medium-sized businesses.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrother\u2019s new Multi-Function Centre Series has been engineered for business use. Both models in the series are versatile, reliable and robust, which is ideal for small and medium-sized businesses with large print volume requirements,\u201d says Dale de Villiers, Marketing Manager at Brother South Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cBrother, a leader in the A3 inkjet segment in South Africa, has positioned these fast and easy-to-use business printers at cost effective price points, enabling more businesses to experience Brother solutions designed and manufactured to high standards of quality.\u201d<\/p>\n

Brother has addressed business needs in developing the new Multi-Function Centre Series, focusing on fast print speeds, a low cost per page, and outstanding print quality, in addition to improved paper handling and better durability.<\/p>\n

With Full A3 size supported, businesses have the flexibility to showcase their work in large formats, without losing any details.<\/p>\n

Fastest in its class*<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Spend more time on managing the business, and less on waiting for prints. Brother\u2019s latest series is fast at up to 22 images per minute*** (ipm) for black and 20 ipm for colour, and a First Print Out Time (FPOT) of just six seconds. In Fast Mode, speeds pick up to a maximum of 35 pages per minute (ppm)^.<\/p>\n

Cost effective from day one<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Keep printing costs down with Brother\u2019s super high yield cartridges.<\/p>\n

Each cartridge lasts up to 3,000^^ pages (black) and 1,500^^ pages (colour), providing a very competitive cost per page.<\/p>\n

An Ink Save Mode helps to save on ink consumption as well.<\/p>\n

Premium business-quality output<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Create eye-catching documents and presentations with the new Multi-Function Centres.<\/p>\n

Printing with Brother\u2019s new pigment-based inks results in highly professional business documents with crisp details, sharp text, true-to-life colours and denser blacks.<\/p>\n

The fast-drying prints are water and fade-resistant, with colours that stay vibrant over the long term.<\/p>\n

Designed for ease of use<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Complete assignments quickly with the intuitively-designed Multi-Function Centres.<\/p>\n

Print jobs and printer functions are easily accessible with the 9.3cm colour LCD touchscreen^^^.<\/p>\n

Integrated Ethernet and wireless support allow all devices to be connected to the machine for added convenience. Photographs\u2020 can even be printed directly from USB flash memory.<\/p>\n

Productivity with more paper handling<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Focus more on the work without the need to refill paper trays constantly.<\/p>\n

The standard paper tray holds up to 250 sheets, while the multi-purpose tray can handle up to 100 sheets^^^.<\/p>\n

Expand paper capacity with a lower paper tray that provides an additional 250 sheets, giving businesses a maximum paper capacity of 600 sheets^^^.<\/p>\n
