All in One colour inkjet printer, capable of A3 printing, and full duplex scanning.
I bought it because it can fit onto a 400mm shelf.

Free pick up.
Order from thegoodguys.com.au and delivery (to Sydney inner city) is $35.
Order from The Good Guys ebay store and delivery is $12.

Brother cash back of $50 until 31 March (claim by 8 April): https://brother-money.com.au/

Seems about 15mths old, but fits my use case. Generic inks as per usual a fraction of the regular products.

    It's not just an inkjet printer it's also a scanner/copier with a dual CIS scanning technology which means it can scan 2 sided scanning at the same time and a fax machine. This being an A3 printer also are always way more expensive than their A4 counterparts. Not all multi function printers can not only print on A3 paper but also scan both sides of a paper at once.

  Not bad. The others here just aren't the targeted market. Don't know where these people can find a colour printer than can do A3 (albeit a bit tedious).

  Also worth pointing out that the duplex scanning is single pass double sided scanning. It is well worth it's price even if you are just buying it for it's scanning abilities.

  Have had this machine for a year. Its a fantastic All in one for home use. High Capacity inks actually make using the official inks viable if you are relatively low use. Has apps to direct email scans to you amongst other great features. The A3 support is fine, you can set up one of the paper trays for A3, it just hangs out forward a bit.

    Does it scan A3 size papers?

    • 

      hollykryten on 29/03/2016 - 12:18

      -1

      According to the specifications, yes it can scan A3 size paper.

      Would be stupid to design an A3 MFP that could print at A3 but couldn't scan at A3, now wouldn't it.

        Stupid yes, but stupid is a very common trait among designs, especially to create product segmentation ie "oh you want that feature, then that's $100 more for the tier 2 option"

        (an example of an a3 printer that cannot scan a3)

        I suspect a3 scanning in a3 printers is much rarer than you think.

        @CyberGenesys:

        You suspect wrong it's not rare, a few decades ago perhaps was rare but not now it isn't. A3 scanning is a standard feature on Brother and Epson A3 MFP models that i can see on the market at least at The Good Guys, Officeworks and Harvey Norman. You can buy the MFP printers that scan A3 paper straight off the shelf at retailers.

        @hollykryten: Current models, can be purchased off the shelf at retailers. Prints a3 only scans a4.

        Both Epson models do, and are incidentally $100 off RRP direct from Epson (free delivery).

        I will point out that the printer in this deal MFC-J5720DW does not support A3 scanning

        http://brother.com.au/products/multi-function-centres/colour…

        Scanning Area
        FlatBed: 214(W) x 295(L)mm
        ADF: 214(W) x 353(L)mm

        A3 paper is 297 x 420. The ADF supports larger sized A4 legal paper.

        Well that's unfortunate. It seems that i was wrong.

  strangeloops66 on 29/03/2016 - 09:52

  I take it this is not a flat-bed copier/scanner?

    strangeloops66 on 29/03/2016 - 15:16

    EDIT: I took it wrong.

  What's the difference btw this printer and the Brother MFC-J6920DW

  • 

    hollykryten on 29/03/2016 - 11:41

    For what i can see the MFC-J6920DW can feed 50 sheets through its ADF and this one here in this deal can feed 35 sheets through the ADF. I can't see any real other difference other than the cosmetics. For better bang for the buck in my opinion the MFC-J5720DW model from this deal is better (for the fact that the MFC-J6920DW model costs over twice as much for no real better advantage that i can see).

• 

  hollykryten on 29/03/2016 - 13:20

  I suppose that one thing you've got to take into account before purchasing an A3 printer is that the A3 size paper is expensive costs twice as much more than A4 paper. Cheapest A3 500 sheet ream at Officeworks is $9.98. http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/keji-80gsm-…

    TrendyTim on 29/03/2016 - 15:20

    Since A3 is the size of 2 A4s i would expect around 2x the price though it seems that
    Keji A4 = 3.09 (0.62c per page)
    Keji A3 = 9.98 (2c per page)

    So its actually over 3x the price.

    Having said that its not like it only prints A3, you would print A4 normally then when needed print to A3, so the price difference of the paper is largely irrelevant as it doesn't affect the day to day running cost.
