Brother MFC-9450CDN Color Laser Adds Duplex Printing to Its Repertoire

Printer News: A Not So Big Brother, the MFC-9450CDN Does It All and Is Relatively Small

DBZ-584-PN500

If you want to continually improve your products, you have to pay attention to your consumers' needs. Otherwise, you're just giving people cake without any icing. Okay, bad example since cake is still pretty good by itself but you get the idea.

Brother's MFC-9440CN color laser multifunction offers lots of features at an attractive price, but it lacked duplex printing. Brother's new MFC-9450CDN adds this increasingly important feature.

It also has a few other notable features — BR-Script 3 (PostScript 3-compatible) for printing professionally-designed materials, Ethernet and WiFi connectivity, and a relatively small footprint compared to most color laser printers. Just a little more icing on the cake I guess.

Summary

Color laser all-in-one printer best for small offices or workgroups who need PostScript capabilities
MSRP: $649.99
