The Brother MFC-J6960DWRE1 is an inkjet multifunction device of the INKJ category, combining printing, scanning, copying, and faxing in DIN A3 format within a single device. It is designed for office environments requiring high print performance and flexible paper handling. The MAXIDRIVE print head technology ensures fast print speeds and consistently high print quality, with a print resolution up to 1200 x 4800 DPI. Print speed reaches up to 31 pages per minute in black and white and 30 pages per minute in colour (ISO/IEC 24734), with the first print delivered within 4.4 seconds (black) or 4.6 seconds (colour). The duplex function supports automatic double-sided printing, copying, scanning, and faxing, with duplex print speeds of 22 pages per minute (black) and 21 pages per minute (colour).
Applications
This device is intended for offices handling a monthly workload of up to 35,000 pages, with a recommended usage between 250 and 2,500 pages per month. It is suitable for tasks such as creating reports, presentations, brochures, and posters, with direct support for brochure printing function and poster printing function. The N-in-1 print function allows combining multiple pages onto one sheet, supporting up to 16 pages per sheet. The watermark printing function and borderless printing expand design possibilities.

The N-in-1 copy function supports 2- and 4-page copies, and the ID card copy function enables copying of ID cards.
Technology Explained Simply
The inkjet printing process uses MAXIDRIVE technology, enabling precise ink delivery via piezoelectric elements, resulting in fast print times and high print quality. The Dual CIS scanning technology provides an optical scan resolution of 1200 x 2400 DPI and a maximum scan resolution of 19200 x 19200 DPI. The colour depth is 48 bit (input) and 24 bit (output), with greyscale depth of 16 bit (input) and 8 bit (output). The device supports scan to E-Mail, FTP, file, image, network folder, OCR, USB, with supported formats including JPEG, TIFF, PDF.
