Brother’s new range of inkjet printers with its two models, the MFC-J4340DW and the MFC-J4540DW, is now in Singapore to help home and SOHO users enjoy the benefits and efficiencies of business-class printers even though they're out of the office.

Nigel Lee, Country Manager at Brother Singapore said:

As companies increasingly adopt work from home arrangements, our focus is on empowering small businesses and employees with the right blend of features and cost-efficiency to take their productivity to the next level.
