Brother MFC-5490CN Ink Cartridges

As part of the Professional Series, the Brother MFC-5490CN all-in-one inkjet printer is a step up from most home models, with more features designed for the office professional. It can print up to 35 pages per minute in black and 28 pages per minute in color, as well as fax, scan, and copy, but also includes excellent photo printing options.

The 50-sheet automatic document feeder on top of the machine is one of its best features, with more capacity than most models of its compact size. Its 150-sheet paper capacity is also larger than expected, especially since the machine measures only 8.7x17.3x15.9 inches when fully folded up, and weighs just 20.7 pounds without the Brother MFC-5490CN printer ink cartridges installed.

Direct photo printing options are included through the media card slots or the PictBridge port, which also supports USB flash memory drives. Wireless networking and an ethernet port are both included as well, with the Brother iPrint&Scan app available for printing from and scanning to tablets, smartphones, and other mobile devices.

The control panel is lacking a color screen, which would have been a nice touch, but also would have raised the price. As it stands, the device is still very easy to use, and it is hard to argue with the price break.

For an inkjet model, the cost of Brother MFC-5490CN ink is quite affordable. With four colors of Brother MFC-5490CN ink cartridges, the supplies are easy to replace individually, with less waste, and compatible Brother MFC-5490CN ink supplies are available for an even lower cost per page.

Overall, the Brother MFC-5490CN will be appealing to office users and home users alike. Both parties will benefit from its fast speeds, low price, and excellent output quality.
