Product Description

Brother MFC‑T4500DW A3 Inkjet Multi‑Function Printer

The Brother MFC‑T4500DW A3 Inkjet Multi‑Function Printer is a high‑capacity, business‑class ink tank printer engineered for offices and workgroups that need affordable, high‑quality A3 and A4 colour printing, plus fax, scan, and copy in one device. With its refillable ink tank system, robust connectivity and fast print speeds, this all‑in‑one is ideal for Kenyan businesses that produce reports, graphics, marketing materials and documents in larger formats while keeping running costs under control.

As a multi‑function printer, the Brother MFC‑T4500DW combines:

• Fax
• Print
• Scan
• Copy

into a single unit, eliminating the need for multiple separate devices. This saves space and simplifies maintenance while centralising all document workflows in one reliable machine.

The ink tank printer design means you refill large, integrated ink reservoirs with bottled ink instead of changing small cartridges. This drastically reduces cost per page and increases print yield, making the Brother MFC‑T4500DW A3 Inkjet Multi‑Function Printer a smart choice for high‑volume environments.

With a print resolution up to 1200 × 4800 dpi, this printer delivers sharp text and vibrant colours, suitable for:

• A3 presentations and charts
• Architectural or engineering sketches
• Marketing flyers, brochures and posters
• Detailed graphics and high‑quality documents

Print speeds of up to 22 ipm (images per minute) in monochrome and 20 ipm in colour (based on ISO/IEC standard modes) help keep your workflow smooth, especially when printing multi‑page reports and large A3 layouts.

On the scanning side, the scan resolution reaches up to 600 × 600 dpi from the flatbed (FB) and 300 × 600 dpi via the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), providing clear digital versions of documents for archiving, email, or digital approval processes. With interpolated scan resolution up to 19,200 × 19,200 dpi, you can enhance images for high‑detail needs, though typical office scans will be more than adequate at standard optical resolutions.

The MFC‑T4500DW supports multiple copies up to 999 pages with stack/sort functionality, which is highly valuable when preparing training packs, meeting handouts or classroom materials. The ability to collate automatically cuts manual sorting time and boosts productivity.

Connectivity is a major strength. The Brother MFC‑T4500DW A3 Inkjet Multi‑Function Printer offers:

• Hi‑Speed USB 2.0 for direct PC connection
• LAN (Ethernet) for wired network sharing
• Wireless LAN IEEE 802.11b/g/n (Infrastructure Mode) for Wi‑Fi networks
• IEEE 802.11g/n (Wi‑Fi Direct) for direct device‑to‑printer connections without needing a router

This flexibility allows you to deploy the printer anywhere in the office and support multiple users across PCs, laptops, and mobile devices.
