Brother MFC-9130 Toner Cartridges

Brother MFC-9130 Printer Review

With color printing and wireless networking as two of its hallmark features, the Brother MFC-9130 multifunction color laser printer is often referred to as the MFC-9130CW to highlight these enhancements. It has the printing, copying, faxing, and scanning capabilities one would expect, but in a very compact package that doesn't sacrifice speed or quality. Two capacities of Brother MFC-9130 printer toner are available to help control operating costs.

The MFC-9130 is larger than the typical inkjet all-in-one, but would still be a good fit in a home or small office, with the benefit of laser printing quality. It measures 16.1x16.1.19 inches, and weighs a little less than 50 pounds, even with the starter Brother MFC-9130 toner supplies installed.

Print speeds are just average, at around 19 pages per minute for both color and monochrome. The paper capacity could be a point of contention, as it is limited to 250 sheets in the main tray, but a straight-through paper path for the manual feed helps it support thicker media.

When it comes to wireless printing, the MFC-9130 is easy to setup, especially if the router supports WPS. Both devices can be connected with just a few button presses in this case. Several mobile printing standards are supported, including Google Cloud Print, Apple AirPrint, and Brother's iPrint&Scan apps that can be downloaded on multiple platforms.

The standard-capacity Brother MFC-9130 toner cartridges provide up to 1,400 pages for each color and 2,500 pages for black. High-capacity color Brother MFC-9130 toner cartridges can provide up to 2,200 pages, for a lower cost per page and a longer period of time between replacements.

The MFC-9130 features many of the most important modern office features to the home or small office, combined with high-quality color printing and solid speeds. Inexpensive toners and a reasonable purchase price put it within reach of those on a tight budget.
