Brother INKvestment 4355

🖨️What kind of printer this is

An inkjet printer sprays tiny drops of ink. It is the best choice for photos and rich color at a low purchase price. Ink can dry out if unused for weeks, so it suits people who print regularly.

It is an all-in-one: it prints, scans, copies and faxes, which saves desk space and a second device.

📊What the specs mean

Color

Prints in color using four cartridges (black, cyan, magenta, yellow), each replaced separately.

Print · Scan · Copy · Fax

Scanning turns paper into PDFs you can email. Many all-in-ones have an ADF (automatic document feeder) to scan a stack of pages without lifting the lid.

Wi-Fi

Print from laptops and phones anywhere on your network, with no cable. USB is there as a backup.

💰The real cost of a printer

The price tag is only the start. Over 3 years most printers cost more in ink than to buy. Before choosing, compare:

• Cost per page: cartridge price ÷ page yield.
• Recommended monthly volume: the pages per month it handles comfortably. The bigger duty cycle number is a maximum, not a target.
• Starter cartridges: many printers ship with setup cartridges that hold less than a full one. Plan your first order early.
