Just recently, I received a tiny package from Brother and it was a prize from a promo they published before for a personalized printer calendar. It was so nice I thought I’d blog about it as we also use a Brother Printer at home. The photos I submitted were actually not my favorites as I was hurrying up to join the promo. But the finished output still looked great.
As printed on the calendar:
This Brother 2015 Calendar of Me was printed using the new Brother color Inkjet Multi-Function Center. The MFC is a printer, fax machine, copier, PC fax machine, and direct photoprinter all rolled into one! The MFC-J2320 InkBenefit and MFC-J2720 InkBenefit also have super fast A3 print capability.

Our previous printer is of another brand. To save on the ink, we decided to get a refillable ink system installed on it but found out that it wasn’t the wisest thing to do. The problem with a refillable ink is that, since it is installed outside the printer itself, it tends to get dirty and most of the times, it gets clogged. I don’t think any kind of maintenance will help since the chance of drying out the ink is always there, because the system is exposed.
With the one we use right now, Brother DCP-J100 Ink Benefit, it’s a 3-in-one. We got this from SM Stationery and it prints-scans-copies so it’s very useful for home use for my daughter’s projects, our occasional event print-outs and sometimes we print our photos too. What I love on this printer is the ink refill system. Each color cartridges are separated from each other, meaning, when one color is maxed-out, you just need to replace that color and wait for the other colors to be consumed. Yield as per what you see on the photo below is, for black 2400 pages, and for colored prints, you get 1,300 pages.
This printer requires low maintenance and the bond-papers of different sizes can easily be stacked on its internal storage. When paper gets stuck, it’s not hard to open and remove the paper inside. The scanner and the copier features are also easy to use. You can just look at the buttons at front and you’ll know what to do.
To save on our ink, we usually choose the Economy option when we print. But as from the calendar we received, the vivid colors will work perfect when we print our family photos taken from special occasions and family travels.
Disclaimer : I wasn’t paid or contacted by BROTHER and I wrote this blog as a token of appreciation for their good product and the personalized calendar.
I agree with you that getting a built in ink refillable system isn’t good. It gets the ink dirty & our hands messy. I love that brother printer is low maintenance & practical but efficient.
Yup, I will really change our printer now and get with a continuous ink and wi-fi ready. A reliable printer is a homeschooler mom’s best friend hehe.:) I also received a calendar from them! 🙂 Such a lovely brand. 🙂
I don’t have a printer in our home. I will check this brand to see if the price is right for my budget.

Brother was one of our choices when we were deciding on a printer, it had great reviews… but we ended up with canon 😀
I haven’t try brother printer. But looking at it mukhang okay naman sya. Love the printed calendar!
Wow, you’re photo calendars actually look really nice. We have a 3-in-1 printer too but of another brand. I love that this one from Brother uses separate cartridges for all the colors. Ours is not like that.
I really like it when products are user-friendly. Because this printer it’s low maintenance and easy to use, it gets my stamp of approval, too. — Maria Teresa Figuerres
I use a different brand and installed a refillable ink on it. Yes, messy nga. Will check this out once our printer retires 🙂
i have an hp that’s similar to this but this looks much better, i love the paper storage feature 🙂
We are on the lookout for a heavy duty printer also. Ours died already after 3 yrs. Will check this out. Thanks 🙂
I also tried the CISS printer. But it didn’t last that long and it was soooo messy. Will consider this on our next upgrade 🙂
Hoping to get a Brother printer soon because of your recommendation. Really need a printer, scanner and copier in one.
this looks nice! currently the hubby is looking for a wifi enabled printer though.
