Deal or No Deal: Brother MFC-5460CN for $59.99.

Just got another printer deal from the web ad this one looks pretty good. The Brother MFC-5460CN do-everything printer will run you $59.99 plus tax at Staples. There is a $29.99 rebate available in the form of a Visa gift card which makes the net price $29.99 plus tax. Delivery is free.  Is this a deal?

Brother MFC-5460cn Multi-Function Inkjet Printer.

Highlights:

• Fax machine
• Printer
• Sheet-Fed Scanner/Copier
• USB 2.0, Ethernet, PictBridge
• Up to 30 ppm black, 25 ppm color
• Uses the LC51 series inkjet cartridges
• $30.00 rebate in the form of a Visa gift card

This is an easy one.  The Brother MFC-5460CN uses the LC51 series inkjet cartridges and compatibles are readily available for this printer in the range of $2.99-$4.99 per cartridge.  This is a 4-Cartridge printer, so you will need one for each (LC51Bk) black, (LC51C) cyan, (LC51M) magenta, (LC51Y) yellow.  The cartridges are rated at about 350-450 pages.  Individual cartridges are more consumer friendly, so we really like this feature.

Cartridges use in this printer (LC51 series, 4 cartridges):

LC51Bk

LC51C

LC51M

LC51Y

You can look at the manual here (it is a PDF file).  From what we can tell from the manual this printer is a very robust fax machine with a color inkjet printer wrapped around it.  You can fax from your PC, and Ethernet networking is built into the printer (very handy).  A very robust printer, and a seemingly no-brainier purchase for $59/$29.

With it’s $29.99 price tag, free delivery, 1-year warranty, and availability of low cost compatible cartridges, we like this deal.  Amazon has a bunch of user reviews you can check out.  If you are going to use Brother original cartridges, this may not be the printer for you as a full set of their cartridges will run you at least $60.00.  Compatibles work great, and have been around for several years, and will continue to be available in the future.

We like this deal, and give it a big thumbs up.
