BRIDGEWATER, N.J., Jan. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Brother International Corporation, a leader in small business technology, today announced its second generation of Professional Series inkjet all-in-one machines (MFC-J6510DW, MFC-J6710DW and MFC-J6910DW) priced from $249-$349*.  This new Professional Series from Brother offers small business owners an opportunity to print, copy, scan and fax up to 11"x17" – the first manufacturer to offer all four functionalities in this size at this price point.  

These machines allow users to produce large (up to 11"x17"), impactful, easy-to-read documents, such as spreadsheets, floor plans, graphics or blueprints with ease.   The new models offer several exciting value opportunities for small business owners, such as duplex (two-sided) printing to reduce paper consumption and Super High-Yield ink cartridges to save on replacement costs.  To help owners maximize productivity, the machines also offer fast print speeds, an auto-document feeder and dual paper trays to increase total capacity up to 500 pages.**

"Small businesses are a key asset in our current economy and it is to everyone's advantage to support them in any way possible – whether through patronage or by providing products to make their business more successful," said Small Business Professor® Bruce Freeman, author and columnist. "The new line of inkjet all-in-ones from Brother provides small business owners with the ability to increase their productivity and produce high-quality materials."

All of the models will be compatible with the free downloadable Brother® iPrint&Scan app by April 2011, which allows wireless printing from or scanning to an Apple® mobile device or Android TM Smartphone. These features are ideal for mobile work environments that need access to detailed, high-impact images on the go, such as real estate agents, caterers and architects.

"We know small business professionals are looking for powerful business solutions that allow them to compete at their best in a competitive marketplace. The Brother Professional Series delivers a variety of powerful business features including a unique 11"x17" document scan glass that meet that need," said Marie Le, Brother Senior Marketing Manager for Inkjet Products. "These new models offer the opportunity to be more independent and creative but also come at a great value."
