With print speeds of up to 35ppm (black) and 28ppm (colour) plus super fine 6000 dpi resolution, the Professional Series offers fast production of professional quality photos, posters, brochures and marketing materials every time.

The world’s first Multi-FunctionCentre® range to offer A3 capabilities. The Professional Series takes excellence to new dimensions and will soon offer the added advantage of A3double-sidedprinting with the release of theMFC-6890CDWin June 2009.

Versatile Multi-Functionality

Along with the convenience of allin - one print, fax, copy and scan capabilities, the Professional Series extends these functions with extra productivity tools for enhanced multifunction performance.

A unique PC Fax receiving feature allows receipt of faxes in soft copy even when the PC is turned off, while the Super G3 Fax allows transmissions in approximately 3 seconds.

Additionally, a variety of versatile scanning applications allows you to scan directly to email, to file, to card or USB flash memory drive, to Optical Character Recognition for preprinted document editing and (with the exception of the MFC-5490CN)to an FTP server.

The Added Brilliance Of Innobella®

Ease Of Use

When used with Brother’s specially formulated Innobella® Ink and Photo Paper, yourMulti-FunctionCentre® will operate at its absolute optimal level, ejecting ink droplets just 1.5 picolitres in size. This gives you brilliant high resolution and smooth gradations on printouts as large as A3 borderless.

It also gives you greater cost efficiency, as Brother’s high yield Innobella® Ink cartridges offer twice the page yield of standard cartridges in a4-cartridgesystem where you only replace the colour which has run out.

With the Professional Series’ simple control panels you can perform a multitude of functions quickly and easily with the touch of a button.

With select models also featuring a wide, full colour up to 4.2" LCD screen you also have the option of previewing faxes and documents before printing, to minimise paper and ink wastage.

Multiple Connectivity

With a variety of connectivity options, this new Multi-FunctionCentre® range makes it easy to print directly from, or scan to, various multimedia cards and USB flash memory drives.

An array of commonly used card slots and a cable port also make connectivity simple and allow for printing directly from a camera, without going via a computer.

Colour Optimisation

Natural mode

Vivid mode

Using an exclusive process called True2life®, the Professional Series accurately optimises your colour prints, matching the original colours captured on your camera for the truest colour prints possible.

Wired Or Wireless Networking Options

You can share powerful features like print, scan and PC Fax easily with your Professional Series Multi-FunctionCentre®. Media cards or USB flash memory drives can be accessed over your wired or wireless network, depending on the model you choose, with userfriendly installation tools makingset-upeasy.

Reduced Paper Work

To increase efficiency and reduce the need for user interaction, the Professional Series incorporates features such as extra large or dual paper storage areas that allow for less paper loading and replacement.

The 50 page Automatic Document Feeder also allows for unattended copying, scanning and faxing of multi-pagedocuments at the touch of a button.

Perfect Copies Every Time

Before After

Incorporating a special copy enhancement feature, the Professional Series allows you to improve image quality by eliminating shadows, adding elements such as watermarks and even straightening skewed documents.

Security

To increase security and ensure appropriate equipment usage, a Secure Function Lock feature allows an administrator to restrict user access to various functions with a 4 digit PIN code.

Consumables That Won’t Consume Your Time And Money

With Brother’s innovative new range of Innobella® Inks and Photo Paper, you can easily achieve higher quality print results every time, at much lower cost.

Specifically designed to complement our machine technology, the Innobella® range ensures your BrotherMulti-FunctionCentre® will continually provide superior image quality without requiringtime-consumingattention and maintenance or costly continuous replacement.

Providing better print quality, fade resistant colour, greater yields from both ink and paper, protection from machine damage and achievement of overall optimum performance, it’s the benefits of Innobella® that really mount up, rather than the costs.

Improving your business image?

It’s easy with Innobella®

Innnobella® Ink

Specially formulated for ultra-finedispersion, Innobella® Ink allows yourMulti-FunctionCentre® to operate at its optimal level, ejecting ink droplets just 1.5 picolitres in size at 6000 dpi resolution. This gives you outstanding, high resolution images with smoother gradations on printouts right up to A3 borderless.

Innobella® also gives you much greater cost efficiency, as Brother’s high yield Innobella® Ink cartridges offer twice the page yield of standard cartridges.

Additionally, the Innobella® Ink4-cartridgesystem offers further cost benefits by allowing you to replace single colour cartridges when they run out, rather than other systems where you need to replace a single4-colourcartridge which may not be totally empty.

Innnobella® Photo Paper

A specially coated, luxurious gloss paper stock designed to accept ultra-fineink droplets at high resolution, Innobella® Photo Paper allows your images to really shine with exceptionally vivid colours that remain true andlong-lasting.

Available in 4 x 6, A4 and A3 sizes, Innobella® Photo Paper ensures your print communications will exude quality and excellence each and every time.
