Brother International has expanded its printer product line-up with a new family of compact color products including two new color printers (HL-3000 series) and three new color all-in-ones (MFC-9000 series).

The new printers deliver color or monochrome printing at up to 17 pages per minute. In addition, its new family of printers and all-in-ones use LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology, enabling its new family of compact color printers to feature a smaller footprint than its existing color laser products.

The HL-3000 series printers line includes HL-3040CN and HL-3070CW and the MFC-9000 series all-in-one line includes MFC-9010CN, MFC-9120CN and MFC-9320CW.

The HL-3040CN model features: 250-sheet paper capacity; ethernet and hi-speed USB 2.0 interfaces; two-piece toner/drum set. The HL-3070CW model comes with all the features of the HL-3040CN, and additionally includes built-in wireless network interface; USB direct interface allowing users to print from their USB Flash memory drive (PDF and JPEG); and PCL6 and BR-Script3 emulations.

The MFC-9010CN model features: print, scan, and copy capabilities; 250-sheet paper capacity; ethernet and hi-speed USB 2.0 interfaces; and includes two-piece toner/drum set.

The MFC-9120CN model has all the features of the MFC-9010CN and additionally includes Super G3 fax.  The MFC-9320CW model, in addition to other features includes built-in wireless network interface and USB direct interface allowing users to print from or scan to their USB Flash memory drive (PDF and JPEG).

Jeff Sandler, director of marketing of laser products at Brother International, said: We understand that small business and home-based office professionals have a range of needs, and that when it comes to color printers and all-in-ones, one size does not necessarily fit all.
