Brother MFC-7460DN Toner Cartridges

Brother MFC-7460DN Printer Review

The Brother MFC-7460 series is a line of monochrome laser home printers, the MFC-7460DN model adding the convenience of features like duplexing, to conserve paper, and a port for network connectivity. At a maximum speed of 27 pages per minute, the both models are adequate to support small or home offices. While the device may leave out beneficial features like wireless connectivity and expandable media handling options, it has an all-in-one design and a more affordable price tag that will fit lower budgets.

With a maximum monthly duty cycle of 10,000 sheets and memory of 32 MB, the machine should be limited to smaller volumes. Minimal paper handling could be a limiting factor as well, with only a single 250-sheet input tray. However, it does benefit from a 35-sheet automatic document feeder that can scan and fax jobs continuously. Due to its bare-bones design, the unit has a compact size of 15x15x12 inches that's ideal for desktop use.

Output is neither exceptional nor disappointing and will suit standard business needs. Text projects are accurate and crisp, finishing with a resolution of 2400x600 dpi using black Brother MFC-7460 printer toner. For a monochrome device, graphics and photos are better than expected and will allow the device to handle projects with more detail.

The manufacturer provides a starter 700-page Brother MFC-7460 toner cartridge. Both standard and high-capacity replacements are available, the first yielding 1,200 pages and the latter lasting around 2,600 sheets. The option for compatible Brother MFC-7460 toner cartridges will help keep costs low.

Other than the availability of inexpensive high-capacity toners, nothing particular stands out to set this device above competition, such as Wi-Fi support. It does have a good balance of speed, output quality and multifunction capabilities that will suit basic home or small office use, although other competing models offer a better range of features for a slightly higher price.
