Brother is set to launch their newest WiFi-enabled mobile scanner, the MDS-820W. Powered by a built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery, this compact and lightweight device is able to scan document up to A4 in size with a maximum resolution of 600 x 600dpi.

Brother has unveiled a new compact scanner, the ImageCenter ADS-1500w, a wireless device it calls its flagship in what will be a new series of products aimed at the home and small business markets. With the svelte device comes the ability to upload scanned documents and photographs to a variety of cloud storage and social […]
Kodak as we once knew it has been shedding its identity piece by piece, and today it’s selling off one of the more familiar cornerstones. The one-time photography legend has made an initial deal to offload its Document Imaging division to Brother for $210 million through a stalking horse bid. If no one else makes a sweeter offer, Brother is likely to take control of Kodak’s scanning hardware and software in an agreement that’s expected to receive bankruptcy court approval by June. It’s the end of an era for a company that’s all too familiar with ending eras — let’s just hope it gets around to starting one of them in the near future.

It’s safe to say that, at some point, you’ll need to print out a collection of assignments this fall. We’re looking to save the environment just as much as the next set of folks, but physical outputs are still required for a number of things — especially in the realm of academics. Now that WiFi has become a standard option on most ink-to-paper peripherals, the ability to print from mobile devices has become a hot commodity. A number of our selections offer just that, allowing you to get the job started without needing to be in front of a computer. Enough chatter, though… head on past the break to peruse our picks for the back to school season this year.

He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother, or so the desktop computer says when communicating with the Brother-branded printer. Most of us would have laser printers at the office and perhaps even at home, but for those of us who cannot really afford a laser printer as well as the toner cartridges, a more affordable solution would be an inkjet, albeit at the expense of print quality. The Brother MFC-J4510DW Business Smart Series color inkjet all-in-one printer might be just the ticket for those looking for a balance, where it comes with a Landscape Printing Technology which will reorient the way color inkjet printing is done, reducing the machine footprint in the process while increasing print speeds.
Brother’s engineers also redesigned the ink cartridges so that they occupy less space while delivering extremely high page yields. The flagship model MFC-J4510DW, targets small office/home office and businesses without breaking the bank, thanks to a $199 price point, where it will hit the market from the beginning of October onwards. It can print up to 35 pages per minute in black & white, while color pages are spat out at 27 pages per minute, both in Fast Mode, respectively. ‘

This week the folks at Brother have revealed the Business Smart Series color inkjet all-in-one printer series with Landscape Printing Technology to change the way all-in-one printing is done. This printer lineup is made to take what it is to be an all-in-one unit and makes it a powerhouse with a much smaller footprint than ever before. This collection of all-in-one printers also includes a new engine and a larger print head to increase the speed at which prints are made.
The innovations continue with a smaller set of ink cartridges that are able to handle super high page yields at the same time as taking up less space in the machine than with previous units. This unit totes no less than four of the most fabulous next-generation features Brother has to offer:
• Fastest in class print speeds
• Smallest in class footprint
• Low cost printing
• Easy-to-use TouchScreen/TouchPanel display
This line is able to create automatic two-sided (duplex) prints and can print onto 11 x 17-inch paper as well. The Business Smart Series is anchored by the flagship model MFC-J4510DW, which comes in at an estimated street price of $199. This unit specifically will be popping up in office superstores and Best Buy stores across the USA in October of this year.
The MFC-J4510DW Brother Business Smart Series color inkjet all-in-one printer will come with a 3.7-inch Swipe TouchScreen Display plus TouchPanel. It’s also able to connect to the web and print via Google Cloud Print, Brother iPrint&Scan, Wi-Fi Direct, and Cortado Workplace. You’ll be able to hold up to 150 sheets of paper in this device’s paper tray and you’ll have up to 20-page automatic document feeding as well for faxing, copying, or scanning.
