Avoid Last Minute Print Emergencies with the Brother INKvestment Tank Printer

August 23, 2018 By Leticia

This post is sponsored by Brother

It’s the time of the year when we’re sending our kids back to school, armed with school supplies for the coming year but have you thought beyond pencils, binders, and composition books? Now is a great time to assess your student’s technology needs for the year because they may need more memory in their laptop, a USB flash drive to transport files to and from school, or a graphic calculator. While you’re at it, have you thought about your printer?

Chances are your printer will get a lot more use in the next 10 months than it did during the summer thanks to papers, projects, and photos for class projects. As parents, we know what it’s like to run out of ink mid-print. It’s never convenient to run out and try to find compatible ink cartridges the night before a big project is due. This always happens on a school night when it’s too late to overnight ship an order and just as local stores are closing.  Even if you do happen to find that one open store in your area, there’s always the high likelihood that what you need is out of stock!

This year you can help prevent the crazy late-night runs for ink by upgrading your family’s printer to the new Brother INKvestment Tank printer, a compact color inkjet all-in-one (MFC-J995DW- $199). It’s a wise investment that will help save time, money, and prevent stress during the school year.

Introducing the Brother INKvestment TANK Printer

Brother INKvestment Tank Printer

Usually when you purchase a printer, you have to replace ink soon after due to tiny ink cartridges that only seem to print 10 pages worth of documents and unexpectedly runs out of ink mid-print. The Brother INKvestment Tank is a parent’s dream. It estimates remaining page counts, provides cost-effective printing, and helps streamline workflow by letting you plan ahead to know when you will run out of ink.

This new printer technology provides the power of a tank while maintaining the familiarity of a cartridge-based ink system that makes replacing ink simple, clean, and user-friendly. I love that our new Brother printer includes up to a year of ink for approximately 150 worry-free printed pages per month.

3 Reasons for Parents to Love the Brother INKvestment Tank Printer

Up to One Year of Ink + Brother Intelligent Page Gauge

The INKvestment Tank features re-engineered ink cartridges and an internal ink storage tank, providing up to one year of ink in box without having to replace cartridges. The design helps you replenish ink less frequently and prevents running out of ink mid-print.

The Page Gauge helps parents plan ahead by monitoring actual ink usage and displaying estimated remaining page counts on the intuitive 2.7” touch screen. I love that this feature helps prevent the surprise of an empty ink cartridge and a partial print job on nights your kids are scrambling to get that very important project done before it’s due the next day.

Cost-Effective Printing

How many times have we told our kids to print in black and white because it’s cheaper? Black and white is still cheaper than color but Brother’s Ultra High-yield replacement cartridges makes color printing more cost effective.. Ultra High-yield replacement cartridges deliver more printed pages and provide savings over the course of a year. INKvestment Tank’s Ultra High-Yield cartridges costs $0.01 per black page and $0.05 per color page.

Streamlines Work Flow

Not only does the Brother Compact Color Inkjet All-in-One provide an estimate of remaining page counts and cost-effective printing, but the printer itself helps streamline workflow thanks to flexible output options that can handle a wide variety of projects. Families can print wirelessly from a desktop, laptop, smartphone, or tablet from virtually anywhere in the house when connected to a wireless network. There’s no network setup necessary and NFC one “touch to connect” makes mobile device printing and scanning easy. It’s also incredibly easy to scan and share documents using Brother iPrint&Scan, Mopria Print Service, or print-from and scan-to popular cloud apps like Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, and more.

    I like the wireless feature that makes it so easy to print from any device from anywhere in my home wireless range. I also like the easy scanning operation (something that usually gives me problems).

    I love that this printer estimates remaining page counts and provides cost-effective printing! This is a huge bonus to be prepared with your ink! I feel like we run out of ink at the most inconvenient times!

    the cost effective printing – that is always the most expensive part after you buy a printer

  6. Elle says

    I like the page gauge feature which will let me know when I am running out of ink and about how much more I can print.

    August 23, 2018 at 12:34 pm

    I just love the printer wireless feature, especially from our smartphones. (Myself, hubby, and our teens)

    i use my phone alot so this would be perfect for me!!

  9. Heather! says

    August 23, 2018 at 7:41 pm

    I like the idea of knowing how many pages we could still print before running out of ink! Even with some printers that offer a gauge of some sort, you still don’t know HOW MANY PAGES that might be. That has become a problem MANY times in our house!

  10. Elena says

    August 23, 2018 at 11:01 pm

  18. Tina W says

    August 25, 2018 at 2:35 am

    Love that it gives you an estimate on how many page prints remain: I feel like I sometimes change the ink too early to avoid it running out in the middle of a print queue.

  19. Tim says

    August 25, 2018 at 8:16 am

    I like the wireless feature. I also like that the ink levels and page counts are displayed on the printer itself. On my current printer I have to go through a maze of files on my computer to see that.

  20. Katherine S says

  43. Heather Menendez says

  44. Mary Chapman says

    September 4, 2018 at 4:25 pm

  46. Steve Weber says

    September 4, 2018 at 5:51 pm

    Printing wirelessly especially from my phone is a super cool feature.

  47. Laura V says

    September 4, 2018 at 5:54 pm

    I think my favorite feature is the re-engineered ink cartridges, due to extending the life of the ink, meaning, taking longer to have to replace them. It’s always a pain to feel like I need to print something and be out of ink just when I need the printer myself. So it would be nice for a change if it could last longer than the norm. Thank you for the opportunity. We just moved, and if we get lucky enough to win, this would be of much help, cheers!

  48. Gabrielle R says

    September 4, 2018 at 9:53 pm

    I love that this printers ink cartridges last for a whole year!! I’m so sick of having to constantly change the ink cartridges on my printer. It happens a lot being that I’m a student.

  49. Kobi Carpenter says

    September 4, 2018 at 10:14 pm

    I’m impressed that the printer holds a year’s supply of ink. Now that’s very impressive.

    I think that having the ability to easy to scan and share documents using Brother iPrint&Scan, Mopria Print Service, or print-from and scan-to popular cloud apps like Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, and more will make doing work a lot easier.

  55. Nora T says

  56. Mary West says

Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day Today we’re celebrating National Rescue Dog Day because we’re so glad Goldie and Murphy are part of our family! 🐶 We gave Goldie her forever home when she was 6 months old. She had been given up by her original family because she was just too much for them. She was an enthusiastic pup who loved to jump straight up in the air when she got excited and she used to hop the fence in the mornings to go visit her best dog friend, Katy, over our back fence. She still jumps from standing when she sees a deer, meets a favorite dog friend, or gets a visit from @lisatasch but now at age 5, she’s more calm and forever faithful. 🦮We met Murphy and his 9 brothers and sisters just days after he was born although we didn’t know he would be the puppy we’d claim as ours. Murphy has that puppy energy but in his quiet moments is a total love bug. He hogs the free space in our king bed (he even has his own pillow!) and loves nothing more than to press his body into me or lie directly on me. 🐾 Goldie and Murphy came to us through @labrescuelrcp and we couldn’t be happier that they’re part of our family! ❤️ #rescuedogday #labrescue #labrador #adoptdontshop

I am so looking forward to running in Memphis again this December! 🎉 If you’ve ever thought of running a race that does so much good in the world, join me!
