Renewed Brother, A4 inkjet complex -enhanced lineup of models suitable for working from home

From the media experience session for the A4 inkjet printer "PRIVIO" series

Significant lineup renewal

As a Brother sales A4 inkjet printer (multifunction device), it has been a major renewal since 2018.

The first tank series (J4000 model) is a model with a built -in sub -tank on the main unit in addition to the 4 -color independent ink cartridge.Black is about 16 standard ink cartridges, and the color is about 10 ink.The frequency of replacing the ink is likely to be dramatically reduced.

In fact, how much you can print is that you can use A4 color documents for more than one year even if you print 300 pages per month.I am surprised.Even if the ink cartridge is cut, you can print about 200 pages with a subtank ink, so you can spend time to replenish the ink cartridge.

Conventional model ink was a pigment for black and colored color (cyan Magenta yellow).The new model of the first tank series is a full-colored pigment ink (excluding DCP-J1200N), so that the ink is hard to bleed even if it is printed on a normal paper, so that letters and graphs can be printed clearly and clearly.

The continuous printing speed has also been significantly faster than the conventional.A4 monochrome has evolved from about 12im to about 20ipm, and A4 color has evolved from about 10ipm to about 19ipm.The first printing speed is also an A4 monochrome (about 2 from the past).2 seconds earlier) Approximately 5.8 seconds for A4 color (about 2).6 seconds earlier) Approximately 5.It has been 9 seconds, and each has been speeding up.

One of the features is that the running cost is excellent.The running cost per sheet is about 4 in the first tank (J4000 model) in the A4 color document..1 yen, about 0 in A4 monochrome documents.It is 8 yen, and it is more than 50 % lower than the conventional standard model.

In addition, the improvement of the main unit has achieved a high durability of about 100,000 pages.Even if the number of printing sessions in business documents increases during work from home, it seems that it can be used for a long time with confidence.

The entry model "DCP-J1200N", which pursues simple operability while keeping the features of the first tank series, was also born.On the top of the main unit is only a simple button such as a power supply or copy.There is no liquid crystal display, and it is designed to be operated with the new application "Mobile Connect" for smartphones.

The DCP-J1200N uses a pigment ink for black and a dye ink for color.Both business documents and photos can be printed in a well -balanced manner.

There is also a new service that can be printed and accumulates points

"In the past three years, the environment surrounding inkjet printers has changed dramatically," said Mr. Tsutomu Mishima, President of Brother Sales, who had been on the product presentation.Reported that it has grown significantly.The first tank series, which was released in 2018 by Brother Sales, also said, "Sales are steadily growing."

What was strong in sales was the expansion of work from home due to Corona.Mishima quoted the results of a brother survey, saying, "Approximately 35 % of users have used a printer for work at home."He said that this trend will continue in the future.

Next, Rie Hiroyu, Director Brother Sales Marketing Promotion Division, introduced some services that would close to the new life of the New Normal era.One of them is the special site "Print Terrace" that allows you to download Brother original free content.We will develop a wide range of content from paper craft to business templates so that children and adults can enjoy it.

Mr. Chinatsu Wakatsuki, who was on the online recital, said about Print Terrace, "It's fun. The printed content is also beautiful. In this case, our children worked together with brothers. Learning content.I was surprised to be able to study with it. "

And another unique service "Tokuplanting Points" will be added.A service that accumulates points simply by registering and using the target brother product.The accumulated point is a mechanism that can be exchanged for your favorite gift from the My Page of "Brother Online".Some are available at convenience stores and department stores, and it is characterized by a wide range of gift coupons for 100,000 yen.It is easy to use because it can be exchanged from several hundred yen in the conversion of 1 point 1 yen.
