IF YOU THINK ABOUT THE DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS OF

AN OFFICE, A DESK, A COMPUTER, AND A PRINTER ARE THE MOST
ESSENTIAL PIECES. BUT PRINTERS CAN BE EXPENSIVE. THERE ARE
PAPER COSTS, INK COSTS, NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS, AND

QUESTIONS LIKE WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN INKJET

BROTHER MFC-J6920DW
Constantly changing print cartridges can be a costly expense

for any business. With that necessary cost in mind, the Brother
MFC-J6920DW features a Super High Yield replacement ink

cartridges that offers up to 2,400 pages of black and 1,200 of
color printing, nearly twice as much as some other models. A
versatile inkjet printer that does a little bit of everything, this unit

features fastest-in-class print speeds (35 pages per minute) and
wirelessly synchs to multiple devices. The Brother also has the

ability to copy, scan and fax documents.
