Brother MFC-5460CN Ink Cartridges

The Brother MFC-5460CN is a multifunction inkjet printer that can also scan, copy and fax documents for a low price tag. One of this unit's setbacks is its slow speeds which, according to expert tests, do not come close to matching the boasted maximum of 30 pages per minute for monochrome documents and 25 pages per minute for color. Aside from its speeds, there are a number of features that make this device a suitable choice for a small offices, including its office-centric design and quality output.

Despite a compact size of only 17x15x8 inches, this 4-in-1 device comes with a host of features for user-friendly control over each function. This includes a front panel with a full keypad for fax dialing, buttons that can adjust the enlargement and reduction ranges of duplicates and a navigation pad that provides quick access to menus. The scanner also has a dedicated 35-sheet automatic document feeder that can handle large jobs.

One of the highlights to this device is versatile connectivity, which includes an ethernet interface for scanning and faxing over the office network, and a standard USB port for printing directly from a PC. The device also stood well against output tests, with text and graphics printing on par compared to similar inkjet units, with a resolution of 6000x1200 dpi using Brother MFC-5460CN printer ink.

The unit is best used for light-duty volumes due to its low-yield supplies that can last only around 400 pages for each cyan, magenta and yellow Brother MFC-5460CN printer ink cartridge and 500 pages for the black supply. To keep running costs low, users can replace expired supplies with remanufactured Brother MFC-5460CN ink cartridges that are more affordable than OEM replacements.

While it suffers from slow speeds and can handle only low-volume use, the MFC-5460CN presents a decent bundle of features and an efficient all-in-one design. For small offices that want a versatile desktop printer for an inexpensive price, the MFC-5460CN is a suitable choice.
