Need more room than a standard A4 page? Brother A3 printers let you print larger spreadsheets, plans, presentations, graphics and other documents while still taking care of everyday A4 printing from the same machine.
At CartridgesDirect, the Brother A3 range includes multifunction inkjet printers for home offices, workplaces and anyone who regularly works with larger documents. Depending on the model, you may find printing, scanning, copying and faxing in one machine, along with wireless connectivity, automatic document handling and high-yield ink options. Whether you only need A3 occasionally or use it as part of your regular printing, it helps to compare each model based on paper handling, print volume, scanning needs and ongoing ink requirements.
The right A3 printer depends on what you actually need it to do. Someone printing an occasional large spreadsheet at home will have different requirements from a workplace producing plans, reports or presentation material throughout the week.
Start with how often you expect to print in A3 and how much everyday A4 printing the machine will handle. Paper capacity becomes more important when printing regularly, while additional trays can be useful if you often move between A4, A3 or different paper types.
Scanning is another point worth checking. If you regularly work with multi-page documents, look at the automatic document feeder, supported scan sizes and whether the printer offers duplex scanning.
Ink should also be part of the decision. Check which cartridges the printer uses, the available yields and how often you are likely to replace them. These details can make a noticeable difference once the printer has been in use for a while.
Browse the Brother A3 printers currently available and check the individual product pages for specifications, pricing and availability.
Buying an A3 printer does not mean every job needs to be printed on larger paper. In many homes and workplaces, A4 will still account for most day-to-day printing.
The same Brother printer can handle invoices, reports, assignments, forms and correspondence, then give you the extra page space when you need it. A3 can be particularly handy for wide spreadsheets, plans, diagrams, presentations, posters and graphics where squeezing everything onto an A4 page makes the information harder to read.
Having both options in one printer can also save you from keeping separate machines for standard documents and occasional larger jobs.
Brother INKvestment uses high-yield cartridges together with an internal ink storage system. Instead of pouring ink from bottles into external tanks, the cartridges are fitted directly into the printer.
For people who print regularly, higher-yield cartridge options can mean fewer ink changes over time. This can be particularly useful for a shared printer or a machine handling a steady mix of A4 and A3 documents.
Ink type and page yield vary between Brother A3 models, so always check the cartridge range for the printer you are considering. Actual yield can also vary depending on page coverage, print settings and the documents you print.
Print speed is useful to compare, but it is only one part of choosing an A3 printer. Paper handling can make a bigger difference than expected in everyday use. If you regularly move between A4 and A3, extra trays or a multi-purpose tray can save you from repeatedly changing paper. An automatic document feeder is useful when scanning or copying several pages, while duplex functions can make double-sided jobs easier to manage.
Connectivity matters as well, especially when more than one person or device will use the printer. Depending on the model, Brother A3 printers may include Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Wi-Fi Direct, USB and mobile printing support. It is worth comparing the features you will actually use rather than choosing a printer simply because it has the longest specification list.
Brother A3 printers do not all use the same printer cartridges. Before ordering replacement ink, check the complete printer model rather than relying on the Brother name or A3 format alone.
CartridgesDirect stocks Brother printer cartridges for a range of current and earlier models. If you are unsure which ink belongs in your printer, the Finder tool can help you locate cartridges matched to the exact model.
Replacement ink is also worth looking at before buying a new printer. Cartridge yield, replacement frequency and the type of printing you normally do all contribute to the ongoing cost of using the machine.
CartridgesDirect has supplied printers, cartridges and printing products to Australian customers since 2006. Brother ink and other printing supplies are also available, so you can order replacement consumables for your printer when they are needed.
Current prices, product details and availability are listed on each product page, so you can check the latest information before placing your order. Eligible orders over $75 receive free shipping, while Australian-based support is available if you need a hand comparing Brother A3 printers or matching your printer with the right ink.
