Brother Inkjet Printers

Refillable Ink Tank Printer

Brother DCP-T580DW ($414.76) : In Stock

The DCP-T580DW is a compact 3-in-1 refillable ink tank printer covering print, scan, and copy.

Instead of cartridges, it uses BTD180 ink bottles : up to 7,500 pages from the black bottle and 5,000 pages per colour (cyan, magenta, yellow).

The included ink in the box covers approximately the same yield, meaning you can print thousands of pages before buying a refill.

Print speed is up to 16ppm with automatic duplex, dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz), USB, and a 150-sheet paper tray.

No ADF : multi-page scanning and copying requires placing each sheet on the flatbed glass individually.

Compatible with AirPrint and Brother's Mobile Connect app for printing from iOS and Android.

Business Smart A3 Inkjet Multifunction Printers

The Business Smart range prints up to A3, with all four models covering print, scan, copy, and fax.

All include auto duplex printing, wireless and Ethernet connectivity, a 50-page ADF, and an 8.8cm colour touchscreen.

All print at up to 28–30ppm.

These models are currently out of stock : contact Ink Depot for availability.

MFC-J6540DW ($310.06) : Entry A3 model. Single paper tray, no duplex scanning. The most affordable way into A3 inkjet MFP capability. Uses LC3319XL/LC3317 high-yield cartridges (up to 3,000 pages black, 1,500 pages colour).

MFC-J5740DW ($371.51) : Dual paper trays with single-pass duplex scanning : both sides of a document scanned in one ADF pass.

A meaningful time saving for offices regularly handling two-sided contracts, forms, or reports.

Same LC3319XL/LC3317 cartridges.

MFC-J6940DW ($435.18) : Same dual-tray, duplex-scan setup as the J5740DW with a higher monthly duty cycle for busier shared environments.

Better suited to a small team printing consistently throughout the day.

MFC-J6957DW (please call for price) : Flagship model with INKvestment Tank technology.

Three paper trays, 30ppm, single-pass duplex scanning, dual-band Wi-Fi, NFC, and Ethernet.

Includes up to 1 year of ink in the box (3,000 pages black, 3,000 pages colour).

Super high-yield INKvestment Tank replacement cartridges yield up to 6,000 pages black and 5,000 pages colour : the lowest running cost of the four A3 models.

Which Model Suits You?

Home or home office, regular printing with low running cost : DCP-T580DW.

Compact, simple, and the refillable tank economics are hard to beat for a household printing hundreds of pages a month.

No ADF, so not suited to regular batch scanning.

Office needing A3 at the entry price : MFC-J6540DW when back in stock.

Single tray and no duplex scanning, but capable A3 output at the lowest cost in the range.

Office scanning two-sided documents regularly : MFC-J5740DW or MFC-J6940DW.

Single-pass duplex ADF scanning is the key difference from the J6540DW and saves meaningful time in document-heavy workflows.

High-volume office, lowest ongoing ink cost : MFC-J6957DW.

Three paper trays, one year of ink in the box, and the highest-yield replacement cartridges in the range.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What's the difference between the DCP-T580DW and the MFC-J6540DW?

They're quite different printers for different users.

The DCP-T580DW is a compact A4 refillable ink tank printer : low cost per page via bottled ink, no ADF, no fax, suited to home use.

The MFC-J6540DW is a business-grade A3 inkjet MFP with fax, ADF, and wide-format printing capability.

If you need A3 or fax, the MFC-J6540DW is the right tool.

If you want low running costs in a compact home printer, the DCP-T580DW is the better fit.

2. The DCP-T580DW has no ADF, does that matter?

It depends entirely on how you scan.

If you scan individual documents occasionally : a receipt, a letter, a single form : placing each sheet on the flatbed is no inconvenience.

If you regularly need to scan multi-page documents (contracts, reports, invoices), doing it one sheet at a time becomes slow and frustrating.

For batch scanning, the Business Smart A3 models with their 50-page ADF are a better fit

.
