Four office functions in one sleek machine – colour printing, faxing, copying and scanning - and with a PhotoCapture Centre™ for direct photo printing.

You need fast colour printing, fax capability, as well as access to a scanner and colour copier, but your office or home office doesn’t have the space for all that equipment, nor can you justify the expense. But don’t worry because the MFC-260C multifunction colour printer means you can have all those office needs in one, offering great value for money.

Print professional colour documents in no time, while the flatbed scanner and copier will produce colour copies of any bound brochure.

Stay in touch with your important customers with the fax facility available in both mono and in colour. Like all Brother multifunction machines, it is simple to use.

Its Automatic Document Feeder means you can fax, scan and copy multipage documents at the touch of a button – just like on a standalone copier. We’ve also put the print cartridges at the front so you can change them easily. Plus with its separate ink cartridges you only have to replace the colour that runs out, saving you money in the future.

The MFC-260C has a PhotoCapture Centre™ so you can print high quality digital images. So whether you’ve got an all-important presentation to print or the latest family holiday snaps, you’ll be amazed at the quality. You can print borderless high-quality photos direct from a digital camera, memory card or USB stick. And if they’re not perfect, you can enhance them by removing red eye and skin blemishes with your FREE FaceFilter software.

To achieve high quality printing we recommend using Brother’s Innobella™ ink and paper technology.
