INKvestment Tank 980 all-in-one

The Brother MFC-T980DW is a colour inkjet multifunction printer built for offices that want refillable tanks instead of cartridges. It prints, copies, scans and faxes with both wired Ethernet and wireless connectivity.

14,625 black pages from starter ink

Two starter black bottles deliver approximately 14,625 pages combined while colour bottles yield around 4,400 pages. Print speeds reach 17 ppm in black and 16.5 ppm in colour, with a first page out in 6.0 seconds black and 6.5 seconds colour. The 99-copy maximum suits routine duplication but not high-volume runs.

Duplex printing at 1,200 x 6,000 dpi

Automatic two-sided output keeps paper use low while the engine resolves up to 1,200 x 6,000 dpi for both black and colour. Copy quality matches the same resolution at 13 ppm. Buyers who need fax capability or network-ready scanning are covered; those requiring larger paper trays or faster copy throughput should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

Will the MFC-T980DW keep pace with my older 13 ppm copier when I run batch jobs?

The MFC-T980DW copies at up to 13 pages per minute in black, matching the speed of many legacy copiers so mixed workloads stay balanced.

How can I confirm the MFC-T980DW is delivering its rated 1200 x 6000 dpi output after setup?

Print a test page from the control panel and check that fine text and colour gradients render sharply at the specified 1200 x 6000 dpi resolution.

Which ink bottles come in the MFC-T980DW box and what must I purchase separately?

The box includes two starter black bottles yielding roughly 14625 pages plus starter cyan, magenta and yellow bottles yielding about 4400 pages; replacement bottles are sold separately.
