Brother MFC-J280W Ink Cartridges

Brother MFC-J280W Printer Review

Though known more for office laser printers, Brother has released a few lines of personal inkjet printers that are ideal for a home or small office. For a work area with limited space, the Brother MFC-J280W will be a good choice because it is compact and weighs less than 20 pounds. It also eliminates the need for multiple machines, as it can print, copy, scan and fax. The MFC-J280W delivers high quality documents using drop-on-demand technology. Nozzles are attached to the print heads, and the chamber behind each nozzle gets heated, which pushes thousands of tiny drops of printer ink onto every inch of paper.

There are four different colors of Brother MFC-J280W ink- magenta, cyan, yellow and black. The black Brother MFC-J280W ink cartridge has a maximum page yield of 600 prints, while the standard colors can last up to 300 pages. High-capacity color Brother MFC-J280W ink cartridges are an option when searching for replacements, and each can produce up to 600 pages. Consumers also have the option of purchasing compatible Brother MFC-J280W ink from third party vendors for half the price of the brand-name product.

The fax machine can receive and send documents with a maximum resolution of 203 dpi. It also offers 40 speed dial stations and a 170-page fax memory. The scanner has a 36-bit internal color depth, which helps to create an internal resolution of 19200x19200 dpi, whether scanning to a file or an email. The copying function can produce 99 copies per original and a 1200x1200 dpi resolution.

Connection with a computer can be made via USB port, and a digital camera can attach directly to the MFC-J280W though the PictBridge slot. There is a 1.9 inch LCD that allows users to preview images without the computer. Overall, this reliable inkjet printer will provide high-quality prints while remaining within a tight budget with affordable printer ink.
