Four of the these are colour printing machines while the remaining three are monochorme lasers. These new printers and Multi-Function Centres (MFCs) are targeted at small office / home office (SOHO) and small-medium businesses (SMBs).
Available in late June. Prices within.
Singapore is the first country to launch these 7 new Brother printers/MFCs in Southeast Asia.
To cater to cost-conscious SOHO/SMBs, the new monochrome printers/MFCs use affordable toners.

And to prevent paper jams, the new hassle-free printing technology includes a longer side guide to reduce paper skew, a short paper pass of 220mm, and an anti-curl system.
An enhanced two-roller system also picks up and separates the paper more efficiently.

As the printers/MFCs are designed with separate toners and drums, users can save cost and reduce wastage by only replacing the toner while continuing to ultilise the drum.
The printers have fast print speeds of up to 20/21ppm (A4/letter) and come with a standard 150-sheet paper tray.
The four colour LED printers/MFCs offer fast printing speeds of up to 22ppm for both monochrome and colour printing, 2-sided printing and a mobile print capability that allows users to print directly from their mobile devices.

The Brother launch in Singapore was held at Equinox in Swissotel the Stamford Hotel.
Sharing the printers is easy as the printers are network-friendly – the HL-3150CDN and the MFC-9140CDN can be connected to multiple users via the built-in network, while the HL-3170CDW and the MFC-9330CDW can be connected wirelessly.
Other convenient features include the mobile print capability, which allow users to print presentations and documents from portable devices (iPhone/iPad/iPod touch connected to Wi-Fi network or mobile devices on Android).
Offices with large print volumes will appreciate the super high-yield colour toner cartridge options that will allow them to print up to 2,200 pages per toner cartridge.
