Brother MFC-T980DW Wired & Wireless INKvestment Tank Inkjet Multifunction Printer Color

The Brother MFC-T980DW is a color inkjet all-in-one printer with print, copy, and scan functions, wireless and wired connectivity, automatic duplex printing, and high-yield starter ink bottles. It suits small offices and home businesses that print regularly and want a large ink supply in the box.

Recommended For

• Small offices and small businesses printing a steady mix of documents, forms, and color materials: Brother positions the MFC-T980DW for this setting, and its refillable ink system is designed to reduce frequent ink replenishment.
• Home-office users who print, scan, copy, and fax from a shared desk setup and want both Wi-Fi and wired Ethernet connectivity.
• Households and small teams that print color school reports, presentations, or occasional glossy photos alongside everyday documents; Consumer Reports found its color graphics suitable for common tasks and its glossy-photo output very good.
• Users who regularly print envelopes or switch among different paper types and sizes: the multipurpose tray provides a separate feed for those jobs without replacing the paper in the main tray.

Real-World Use Scenarios

• In a small office or home business, users can print routine documents and color presentation materials from shared computers or phones; Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and mobile printing options support different setups.
• For recurring print jobs, such as invoices, reports, and school materials, the included high-yield ink can reduce how often users need to replenish ink; the advertised ink duration is based on Brother’s stated average monthly print volume.
• When a user needs to digitize or copy a short stack of one-sided paperwork, the automatic document feeder can handle multiple pages without placing each sheet on the scanner glass individually.
• For mailing customer correspondence or printing occasional specialty sheets, users can load envelopes and other supported media in the multipurpose tray instead of swapping out the paper in the main tray.
• For school reports and everyday color graphics, users can expect results suited to typical home or office documents; independent testing describes its color graphics as adequate for most purposes.
• When printing family snapshots or other occasional photos, users can print on glossy paper; Consumer Reports found the photo output very good for most users.
