Brother announced three printers today, the MFC-5460cn, the MFC-5860c and the MFC-3360c. All three of these printers are all-in-one models which will use Brother’s legendary Innobella™ ink cartridges and photo paper. Innobella inks were recently introduced by Brother as their answer to Vivera, Ultrachrome etc. Basically they aren’t really much different from Brother’s current inks and you would probably only notice the difference if you were a professional using their most expensive paper and you examined all your prints with a 1000x magnifying glass. These printers will all use LC-51 ink cartridges.

The MFC-5460cn and the MFC-5860cn are both rated by Brother at 30 ppm for black and 25 for color. Both machines include a fax machine and can print up to 6000 x 1200, which is a pretty good resolution for a multifunction printer. They have the standard media card slots and PictBridge capability for direct printing. The MFC-5860cn is the fancier model, so it includes a dual paper tray for a 350-sheet capacity.

The MFC-3360c is a more standard all-in-one. It features print speeds up to 25ppm for black and 20ppm for color as well as the same 6000 x 1200 resolution as the other two machines. Brother doesn’t mention how much that printer will be, but the MFC-5460cn will be $150 and the MFC-5860cn will be $180. These printers should be in stores in October.
