With print speeds now reaching up to 31ipm – 50% faster than when the range first launched - alongside upgraded 1GB memory, the refreshed models are built to handle complex documents and multiuser environments with ease. Powered by Brother’s patented MAXIDRIVE print technology, they deliver fast, durable and professional colour output without compromising reliability. Designed for offices where A3 is business-critical, both models offer print, copy, scan and fax functionality, an 8.8cm colour touchscreen and flexible connectivity including dual-band wireless (5GHz), Gigabit Ethernet and NFC. In-box ink yields have been increased to reduce early interruptions, while optional high-yield cartridges deliver up to 12,000 black and 10,000 colour pages. Greig Millar, Chief Revenue Officer at Brother UK, said: “The completion of the X-Series refresh gives partners a clear, unified A3 proposition - backed by consistent performance, competitive running costs and long-term platform stability. It represents how we’re continuing to invest in the range to help partners meet the evolving needs of their SMB and SOHO customers.” www.brother.co.uk Complete cloud suite Kyocera Document Solutions UK has announced the launch of Kyocera Business Solutions, a comprehensive suite of cloud-based applications designed to bring simplicity to document scanning, workflow automation, secure storage and print management processes for agile, hybrid workplaces.
