Brother INKvestment printers are a practical option for homes and workplaces that print regularly and would rather spend less time changing ink cartridges. They use large-capacity cartridges that feed an internal ink storage tank, giving you more ink to work with before replacement is needed.
The range covers compact A4 printers for everyday home and home office use as well as larger A4 and A3 multifunction printers for busier workplaces. Depending on the model, features can include printing, scanning, copying and faxing, along with Wi-Fi, automatic two-sided printing, document feeders and different paper handling options.
INKvestment is different from a refillable bottle system. There are no bottles to pour into the printer. Instead, ink is supplied through replaceable cartridges, keeping the familiar cartridge setup while offering higher-yield options across selected models.
When you buy a Brother INKvestment printer from CartridgesDirect, finding replacement ink is straightforward when the time comes. CartridgesDirect stocks Brother Ink cartridges for a wide range of Brother Printers, including genuine and compatible options for selected INKvestment models. You can check the available cartridge yields for your printer and order replacement ink from the same place you purchased the machine. If you are unsure which cartridge fits, the Finder tool can help you match your exact printer model with the right ink before ordering.
Start with how much you print and the size of the documents you normally handle. A compact A4 printer may be all you need for household paperwork, study, invoices and general home office printing. A workplace printing throughout the week may need more paper capacity, a larger automatic document feeder or additional ways to connect and share the printer.
If larger documents are part of your workload, Brother also offers A3 INKvestment printers. These can handle everyday A4 jobs while giving you the extra page space needed for spreadsheets, plans, diagrams, graphics and presentation material.
Paper handling is another detail worth checking. Tray capacity and document feeder size vary between models, so think about how frequently you want to refill paper and whether multi-page scanning or copying is part of your normal routine.
Rather than choosing by price alone, look at the printer as a whole. Paper size, print volume, scanning, connectivity and replacement ink all matter once the printer becomes part of your day-to-day setup.
Brother INKvestment uses large ink cartridges together with internal ink storage. When the ink runs low, you replace the cartridge rather than manually pouring ink from a bottle into the printer.
One of the main reasons to consider INKvestment is the choice of higher-yield ink available on selected models. This can mean fewer cartridge changes for people who print regularly.
The amount of ink supplied with a new printer and the page yield of replacement cartridges vary across the range. Some Brother INKvestment printers are sold with up to a year of ink in the box based on Brother's stated usage conditions, while selected higher-volume models support ultra-high-yield replacement cartridges.
Actual page yield will depend on what you print, page coverage and how frequently the printer is used. For that reason, it is better to check the specifications and cartridge options for the particular printer you are considering rather than applying one page-yield figure to the entire INKvestment range.
Replacement ink is worth looking at before you buy the printer, not just when the original ink eventually runs out. Different Brother INKvestment models can use different cartridge families and available yields. A household that prints occasionally may have very different ink requirements from an office producing documents throughout the working week.
Higher-yield cartridges can be useful when print volumes increase because they reduce how often cartridges need replacing. However, the highest-yield cartridge available for one INKvestment printer may not be compatible with another model.
Browse Brother Printer cartridges or enter your printer model into the CartridgesDirect Finder to check the ink made for your machine.
Compatible cartridges are also available for selected Brother Printers. Using a compatible cartridge does not automatically remove your consumer guarantee rights under Australian Consumer Law. If a printer fault is attributed to a non-genuine consumable, warranty treatment can depend on the circumstances.
High-yield ink may be what brings you to the INKvestment range, but it should not be the only thing you consider. Automatic two-sided printing can be useful if you regularly produce longer documents. An automatic document feeder makes scanning and copying multi-page paperwork easier, while additional paper capacity can be worthwhile in a shared office where the printer is used throughout the day.
Connectivity matters too. Wi-Fi is available across many Brother INKvestment printers, while other connection options vary between models. If several people will share the printer or you regularly print from phones and tablets, check the connectivity offered by the particular model.
Some INKvestment printers also include faxing, larger paper trays, A3 capability or more advanced scanning features. Focus on the functions you will actually use rather than paying for extras that may rarely leave the menu.
For everyday documents such as invoices, correspondence, schoolwork and reports, an A4 INKvestment printer may be enough. These models can suit households, home offices and smaller workplaces where larger paper sizes are rarely needed.
A3 becomes useful when documents need more room. Wide spreadsheets are easier to read at full size, while plans, diagrams, graphics and presentation material can benefit from the additional page space.
Brother's A3 INKvestment models can also handle A4 printing, so there is no need for a separate printer for everyday documents. If larger-format printing is important to your work, browse the Brother A3 printers available at CartridgesDirect.
