Win a Brother colour laser printer

[CLOSED]

The MFC-9440CN delivers high-quality prints at speeds of up to 20 pages per minute, whether it's handling vivid colour presentations and images, colour charts, or text documents. As a bonus, it has built-in PictBridge technology, which allows you to print directly from a camera or USB stick, cutting out the PC stage.

The £649 unit device has a scan resolution of 19,200x19,200dpi, to produce professional-standard colour and greyscale copies. What's more, it can scan to email, OCR and FTP applications, or to a file. The unit is large — 43.2cm wide, 48.7cm deep and 48.2cm tall — which means it can easily handle A4 originals. It weighs 33kg.

As for networking, connectivity is built-in. One nice security feature is the inclusion of SSL encryption to prevent others eavesdropping on unsecured data passing over the network. The unit has other useful features, including:

• Up to 2,400x600dpi print resolution
  
• A 250-sheet paper tray, plus a 50-sheet multipurpose tray
  
• 33.6Kbps super G3 modem
  
• 16 one-touch dials and 300 speed dials
  
• Reduction/englargement of 25 to 400 percent in one percent increments
  
• First printout arrives in under 16 seconds
  

The second-prize HL-4040CN is a high-speed, network-ready laser printer that can also print up to 20 pages per minute in colour or in greyscale. As a single-function machine, it's a slightly more compact 41.9cm wide, 47.5cm deep and 31.7cm tall.

It has quite a few of the sterling features of its bigger stablemate: SSL-based security, PictBridge compatibility, a 250-sheet paper tray and up to 2,400x600 dpi print resolution. The £379 machine comes with a three-colour LCD display designed to make the printer status quick and easy to see at a glance.

Both printer prizes come with one year's onsite warranty. You can find more information on Brother's full range of colour multifunction and standalone printers on the company's website.
