Brother MFC-8690DW Toner Cartridges

Brother MFC-8690DW Printer Review

The monochrome laser printer known as the Brother MFC-8690DW is perfect unit to accommodate the needs of a home office or small work group. It has multiple functions including scanning, copying and faxing, as well as duplex printing. Offices with multiple users will appreciate the networking capabilities that are provided by the built-in ethernet interface. Unlike similar models in this series, such as the MFC-8680, the Brother MFC-8690DW has wireless capabilities as well.

There is only one Brother MFC-8690DW toner cartridge used in this machine and it is full of black printer toner. The starter toner that is provided upon purchase has a maximum page yield of 3,000 prints. However, the replacement Brother MFC-8690DW toner cartridge that is most commonly purchased lasts up to 8,000 pages, which will provide an exceptionally low cost per page.

With the option to print on various types of media such as envelopes, labels and cards, the MFC-8690DW is as versatile as it is efficient. The copying portion of this unit can alter the size of the image being produced and make up to 99 copies per original. The scanner works in color and black-and-white and can reach an interpolated resolution of 19200x19200 dpi. Faxes can be sent in as little as 2 seconds due to the transmission speed of 33.6 kbps.

The Brother MFC-8690DW toner can reach resolutions of 1200x1200 dpi when printing or copying. This quality will provide the professional prints that are required in a work atmosphere. Even if the budget limits users to remanufactured toners, the quality and yield will be the same. Remanufactured Brother MFC-8690DW costs about half as much as the OEM versions but guarantees to produce the same product. Overall, this all-in-one laser printer will save space, time and money in the office and will print reliably for years to come.
