First-Ever ‘Professional Series’ Inkjet from Brother Features Wireless Networking with High-Quality Color Printing, Copying, Scanning and Faxing for Everyday Business Needs
BRIDGEWATER, N.J., June 27 /PRNewswire/ — Brother International
Corporation today unveiled the first in its “Professional Series” line of
color inkjet all-in-one units with wireless networking capabilities, the
latest example of the company’s vision and strength in anticipating the
office machine needs of small business and home office customers. In
addition to traditional business functions, the MFC-6490CW offers
innovative tools not available from any other brand, such as the ability to
print, copy, scan and fax up to the ledger 11-by-17-inch size, all for an
estimated street price of $299.99.
“Brother has always been a pioneer in anticipating trends in printing
technology by identifying the specific needs of small and home offices and
creating the necessary solutions,” said Brother’s Senior Marketing Manager
Marie Le. “The MFC-6490CW is a high-quality and efficient color inkjet
all-in-one device that adds significant value to small and mid-sized
workplaces at an affordable price.”
While the MFC-6490CW offers standard-size printing capabilities suited
to most business owners’ day-to-day needs; many find that ledger
capabilities can add value to their business documents. Benefits of
11-by-17-inch ledger-size printing and copying include the ability to
create:
— Professional-looking, color business proposals;
— High impact business proposals that stand out from competitors’
standard-sized documents;
— Eye-catching 11-by-17-inch signage and flyers in-house, rather than
having to pay a printer;
— Large, complex spreadsheets on one page, with easy-to-read details;
— Scanning, copying and faxing capabilities at up to 11-by-17-inch
size (e.g., books, signs) via a ledger-size document glass and
auto-document feeder.
In addition to being the first Brother color inkjet all-in-one to
integrate up to 11-by-17-inch size capabilities, the MFC-6490CW also
includes wireless networking, fast print speeds, an easy-to-read widescreen
LCD display and intuitive controls. Other features of the MFC-6490CW are:
up to 50 sheet automatic document feeder, dual paper trays with up to 400
sheet total capacity, up to 35/28 ppm black/color print speed(i), Super G3
33.6K bps fax modem, and four separate ink cartridges (designed so the user
only needs to replace the color that is empty).
The MFC-6490CW offers a best-in-class, two-year limited warranty,
making it a considerable value when compared to other color inkjet
all-in-one units currently available on the market.
“In today’s economy when business owners are faced with rising business
costs and increasingly competitive environments, it is more important than
ever for Brother to offer convenient solutions at the best value,” Le
stated. “We are committed to anticipating technology trends and offering a
wide range of products to meet the changing needs of business.”
