Brother INKvestment Tank 780 Wireless Color Inkjet All-in-One Printer (MFC-T780DW)
Product Description:
The Brother INKvestment Tank 780 (MFC-T780DW) is a wireless color inkjet all-in-one printer with a revolutionary refillable ink tank system that includes up to three years of ink in the box — eliminating the constant cycle of buying expensive replacement cartridges that makes traditional inkjet printers the most frustrating appliance in your home. Instead of small, overpriced plastic cartridges that run dry after a few hundred pages, the MFC-T780DW uses large-capacity ink bottles that pour directly into a built-in tank, delivering approximately 14,625 black pages and 4,400 color pages from the ink included in the box before you need to buy a single replacement bottle.
The refillable ink tank system isn't just about cost savings — it's a fundamentally better way to use an inkjet printer. Brother's spill-free ink bottles are keyed to each color slot, physically preventing you from inserting the wrong color into the wrong tank. Refilling takes just 30 seconds for color bottles and 65 seconds for black. There are no cartridges to crack open, no chip contacts to align, no mess, and no frustrating "low ink" warnings after printing a few dozen pages. When a tank eventually runs low (potentially years after purchase), you buy a single Brother Genuine BTD180 ink bottle, pour it in, and you're printing again.
Beyond the ink system, the MFC-T780DW is a fully featured multifunction printer. Print, copy, and scan on one compact device with a 1.8-inch color display that provides direct access to popular cloud services — print from and scan directly to Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, and more without routing through a computer. Print speeds reach 16 pages per minute in black and 15.5 pages per minute in color with a maximum print resolution of 1200 × 600 DPI. The scanner delivers 2400 × 1200 DPI optical resolution with scan speeds of 17 ipm (black) and 7 ipm (color).
The 20-page single-sided Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) handles multi-page copying and scanning without manual page feeding. Automatic duplex printing produces professional double-sided documents that save paper. The 150-sheet paper tray holds enough for extended print sessions, with a 1-sheet manual feed slot for envelopes, labels, and specialty media. Media sizes up to 8.5″ × 14″ (Legal) are supported.
Dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) provides flexible wireless printing from multiple devices across your network. Wi-Fi Direct enables direct device-to-printer connections without a router. USB 2.0 provides wired connection to a single computer. Apple AirPrint and Mopria Print Service enable native wireless printing from iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android, and Chromebook devices. The Brother Mobile Connect app delivers easy onscreen navigation for printing, copying, scanning, and device management from your mobile device.
The environmental impact is significant: by using refillable ink bottles instead of disposable plastic cartridges, the MFC-T780DW dramatically reduces the volume of plastic cartridge waste going to landfills — a meaningful sustainability advantage for environmentally conscious households and offices. Backed by Brother's 3-year limited warranty (maximum total warranty coverage is 3 years) and free lifetime phone, chat, and online support.
