BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Brother International Corporation, a leader in small office all-in-one machines today announced its newest family of color laser All-in-Ones (MFC-9000 Series from $599-$699*). Ideally suited for small businesses, the new line-up (MFC-9460CDN, MFC-9560CDW and MFC-9970CDW) features category-leading print speeds, built-in wired interfaces, as well as an exciting new design that complements virtually any office environment. The new models will be available beginning in October 2010.

The new series also offer productivity enhancing features to help reduce operating costs. Two key functions: duplex printing in all models and the availability of high-volume replacement toner cartridges – a category exclusive option – can help small businesses keep operating costs down especially when printing higher print volumes.

"In today's economic landscape, it is imperative for small business owners to make smart investments in their office equipment," said Small Business Professor^®Bruce Freeman, author and columnist. "Brother has developed a well-recognized leadership position for serving businesses with machines that are easy to setup while delivering dependable performance and outstanding value. With this new line-up, Brother has done it again by allowing users to manage and help reduce their costs, giving business owners the ability to manage their business efficiently and reliably."

The flagship of the product line, the MFC-9970CDW (available January 2011) offers a number of step features over the other models in the series and (in a first for a Brother laser) will include a five-inch color touch screen display that permits easy navigation and menu selection for accessing its advanced capabilities. In addition, it features an impressive monthly duty cycle of 60,000 pages (max.), which is ideal for higher-volume printing environments such as marketing departments, realty agencies or financial service companies.

"Our newest family of color laser all-in-ones deliver the ideal combination of performance and value that small businesses and small office workgroups need," said Jeff Sandler, Director of Marketing, Laser Products, Brother International Corporation. "For example, these machines can allow a realtor to quickly and economically print out color set-up sheets for an open house, or enable a sales representative to print out multiple copies of a product brochure pdf on their own, without waiting for the original."

Brother's latest series of AiOs are now available at national office superstores, retailers, dealers and online resellers.
