Many consumers have expressed their frustration with high cartridge prices, and most every printer manufacturer has developed their own unique printer line in an effort to resolve that concern.\u00a0 Epson\u00ae led the way with their\u00a0Ecotank\u00ae printer series<\/a> in 2015, Canon\u00ae followed suit with their Megatank\u00ae series and the Inkvestment\u00ae printer series is Brother\u2019s answer.\u00a0 The Inkvestment line is a solid solution for home offices and small businesses, offering cost-effective, high volume prints for pennies on the dollar.\u00a0 The current Inkvestment printer line includes the MFC-J4335DW, MFC-J4535DW, MFC-J1205W, MFC-J805DW<\/a>, and MFC-J985DW.<\/a><\/p>\n A Brother Inkvestment printer is a type of ink tank printer.\u00a0 If you are not familiar with ink tank printers, they are one of the best ways to print affordably.\u00a0 Instead of printing with a standard inkjet cartridge, these printers use a refillable tank system that\u2019s built into the printer to create a print.\u00a0 Some ink tank printers, like the Epson EcoTank, use an ink bottle to transfer ink to the tank, which is similar filling up your car with gas.\u00a0 With the Inkvestment line, Brother took a hybrid approach and uses an ink tank cartridge to do the job. \u00a0Installing a tank cartridge is similar to installing a standard Brother cartridge.\u00a0 Once the cartridge is installed, it knows to automatically refill the tank when the ink gets low, so you can keep printing without having to pause and refill.<\/p>\n Brother advertises that every Inkvestment printer comes with \u201cup to 1-year of ink\u201d in the box.\u00a0 Whether it actually contains enough ink for a years\u2019 worth of printing, depends on your printing habits.\u00a0 The numbers are based on an average monthly print volume of 150 pages a month, with 60% of the prints in black and 40% in color. Regardless, that\u2019s still A LOT of ink and should be more than enough for most printer users.\u00a0 Once you get through that first set of ink that comes with the printer, ink replacement costs are much cheaper than most inkjet cartridges.\u00a0 With all that money saved on ink, it’s not surprising that ink tank printers are becoming more popular ever year.<\/p>\n In this brief guide, we will go over some of our favorite features of each Brother Inkvestment printer model and reveal a simple way to lower your printing costs even more!<\/p>\n
