“These printers will exceed the expectations of businesses looking for secure, customisable and scalable printing solutions.

Features of the new range of colour laser printers include:

As printing requirements grow, the Brother devices can grow in tandem with expandable paper handling options. A tower tray gives up to 2,080 sheets^ for high volume print jobs, while optional paper trays can hold a maximum of either 250 or 500 sheets each.

The Professional Colour Laser series features advanced security capabilities that give businesses full control and protection of print infrastructure. The Active Directory and LDAP compatibilities aim to give users the ability to integrate with existing network infrastructures for user authentication.

In conjunction with Secure Function Lock 3.0, businesses are given control of user print volumes and can restrict the functionality available on each device resulting in the ability to reduce costs.

Brother claims that total cost of ownership (TCO) is reduced with the ultra high-yield cartridges that can produce up to 9,000 pages of printing.
