Separate ink cartridges

Brother colour Multi-Function Centres come complete with four separate colour ink cartridges. Unlike some other colour multi-function products, when a single colour runs out you only replace that colour. Another feature from Brother that saves you time and money and is better for the Environment.
Environmentally Friendly Features
International Standards: ISO 14001 As one of the Australia's leading Multi-Function Centre manufacturers, Brother takes its environmental responsibilities very seriously. Brother Multi-Function Centres are ISO 14001 compliant meaning that they are manufactured in accordance to international environmental standards. Energy Star Additionally, Brother Multi-Function Centres are Energy Star compliant and use less electricity making them extremely efficient to run. Cartridge Recycling Brother is a proud partner in the Planet Ark and Close the Loop Initiative to recycle used ink cartridges for zero waste. Another way Brother is working to preserve the environment for future generations.
Capillary Tube Printing Technology
Brother's revolutionary Capillary Tube Printing Technology provides ink from the MFC-215Cs four separate cartridges direct to the print head, allowing for a much lower profile machine. This results in smoother, quieter operation and ink cartridges that are quicker and easier to replace. Additionally because of the lighter printhead, the MFC-215C can run at a lower power level saving you money and is better for the environment.
