Brother Laser Printers cover everything from straightforward home office printing to the heavier document workload of a busy workplace. Some people simply need a reliable printer for invoices, forms and everyday paperwork. Others need colour, scanning, copying or a printer that several people can share.
CartridgesDirect stocks Brother Laser Printers along with the toner Cartridges and other office supplies needed once the printer is in use. There are compact models where desk space matters as well as larger printers with more paper capacity and features for office printing throughout the week.
Buying the printer from CartridgesDirect also makes finding replacement toner easier later. Brother printer cartridges include genuine and compatible options for a range of models. If you already own a Brother printer and are not sure what it takes, enter the model into the Finder tool before ordering.
Stocked orders placed before 2pm are dispatched the same business day and eligible orders over $75 receive free shipping.
Think about what normally comes out of your printer. If it is mostly invoices, reports, forms and correspondence, you probably have different requirements from an office producing colour presentations and scanning paperwork throughout the day.
How often you print matters too. A compact laser printer can make sense for one person working from home, while a printer shared by a team may need a larger paper tray, higher yield toner and network connectivity.
Then there are the everyday features that are easy to overlook when comparing printers. Automatic two sided printing can save paper. An automatic document feeder is handy when you regularly scan or copy several pages at once. Wi-Fi may matter in one office, while another may prefer an Ethernet connection to a shared printer.
It is worth comparing these details before choosing on price alone. The cheapest printer is not necessarily the one that will suit the way you work.
If most of what you print is black text, a mono Brother laser printer may be all you need. Reports, invoices, forms, letters and similar documents rarely need colour, so keeping things simple can make sense.
Colour becomes more useful when charts, graphics, presentations or customer facing documents are part of the workload. In that case, having colour available from the same printer saves sending those jobs elsewhere or keeping another printer nearby.
Look at what you have printed over the past few weeks. That usually gives you a better answer than choosing colour simply because it is available.
Not everyone needs a printer that scans and copies. If documents mainly travel from your computer to paper, a single function Brother laser printer keeps the setup straightforward. This can work particularly well for an individual workstation or an office that already has a separate scanner.
A multifunction printer makes more sense when paperwork regularly needs to come back into the computer. Scanning signed documents, copying forms or turning several pages into a PDF is much easier when those functions are already built into the machine. Selected Brother multifunction models also include fax.
If scanning is a regular job, check whether the printer has an automatic document feeder. Feeding a stack of pages through automatically is much more convenient than placing each page on the scanner one at a time.
Many Brother Laser Printers use a toner cartridge and drum unit as separate parts. They work together to produce the printed page, but they do not necessarily wear out at the same time.
The toner cartridge contains the powder used for printing. The drum is an imaging component involved in transferring that toner onto the page. When the toner runs out, you generally replace the toner cartridge. The drum stays in the printer until it reaches its own replacement point.
This is why it is important not to assume that a toner warning means both parts need changing. The toner and drum combination also differs between Brother Printer families. Always check the full printer model before buying either item because a cartridge made for one Brother laser printer may not fit another.
Printer price is only part of what you will spend over the life of the machine. Replacement toner matters too, especially if the printer will be used most days.
Brother offers different toner yields depending on the printer and cartridge family. A higher yield cartridge holds more toner and can reduce how often cartridges need changing, which can be useful for a home office or workplace producing a steady stream of documents.
CartridgesDirect stocks Brother Printer cartridges, with genuine and compatible toner available for a range of Brother Laser Printers. Which options are available will depend on the model you own.
Compatible toner gives you another option when replacement time comes around. Using a compatible consumable does not automatically remove your consumer guarantee rights under Australian Consumer Law. If a non-genuine consumable is alleged to have caused a particular printer fault, the circumstances of that fault still matter.
Before ordering anything, check the printer model and cartridge number. The CartridgesDirect Finder tool can help match your printer with the supplies available for it.
CartridgesDirect has supplied printers and printing supplies to Australian homes and businesses since 2006. Buying your Brother laser printer here also gives you somewhere to return when the toner eventually needs replacing, rather than having to start searching for compatible supplies from scratch.
Each product page lists the current price, availability and specifications for that printer. This gives you a chance to compare the Brother models currently available and look more closely at the features that matter to you before ordering.
Stocked orders placed before 2pm are dispatched the same business day and eligible orders over $75 receive free shipping. Australian based support is also available if you need help comparing printers or working out which toner fits a Brother printer you already have.
CartridgesDirect also supports the Cartridges 4 Planet Ark program for eligible used printer cartridges, giving you an option for recycling empty toner cartridges when they are finished.
