Product Details:

So you need to print up to A3 size? The Brother MFC-J5340dw has you covered. Granted, it’s not the most attractive printer but it packs a lot into a relatively small footprint. And it scans, copies, and faxes, all for a low price and reasonable cost per page.

The MFC-J5340dw is speedy too, at 28 images per minute (ipm) for mono or colour prints. You get scans at up to 25ipm, while copies can take less than six seconds. It has a recommended monthly print volume of 250-2,500 pages, which will suit most small offices, even busy ones.

As Brother’s entry-level A3 printer, the MFC-J5340dw is surprisingly affordable for all that you get. You get automatic double-sided printing, a 250-sheet paper tray and a 50-sheet automatic document feeder. Connectivity is good — there’s Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB 2.0 and Wi-Fi Direct — and you can print from the Cloud and via AirPrint, Mopria, or Brother’s mobile apps. For stand-alone printing, scanning, and copying, there’s a 6.8cm colour touchscreen LCD. There’s also borderless printing, and direct photo printing from a USB flash drive.

If that’s not enough, consider instead the Brother MFC-J5740dw which has double-sided copying and scanning, a second 250-sheet paper tray, dual-band wireless, faster fax (not 14.4 but 33.6 kbps), and a larger colour touchscreen (8.8cm). If you also want to scan and copy at A3 size, then you need the Brother MFC-J6540dw.

But there’s a lot to keep you happy with the smaller and less expensive Brother MFC-J5340dw. When it’s time to fill up with more ink, you need Brother LC432 black, cyan, magenta, and yellow colour cartridges. With the high-capacity LC432XL inks, you can print up to 3,000 pages (mono) and 1,500 pages (colour) before needing another replacement. While XL cartridges aren’t cheap, you can save money with Value Pack bundles and by choosing third-party compatible LC432XL inks.

Things to Consider with Compatibles

If you’re considering using compatible cartridges, here are some key points to keep in mind:

Warranty

Using compatible cartridges does not automatically void your printer’s warranty. Under NZ law, a manufacturer generally cannot deny a warranty claim unless the non-genuine consumable caused the fault. For peace of mind, we stand by our products: if a cartridge supplied by Good Egg is proven to have damaged your printer, we will put it right. For more detailed information, read our full guide: Will Using Third-Party Ink Void My Printer Warranty?

Printer Firmware Updates

It’s no secret that printer manufacturers make their real profits from selling expensive genuine cartridges. To protect those profits, they often release automatic firmware updates designed to block compatible inks and toners.

We believe you should have the right to choose what goes into the printer you own - just like choosing which brand of fuel you put in your car.

How we handle it:

Rapid Response: Our manufacturers are experts at "re-chipping." As soon as an update is released, our cartridge chips are updated to ensure they stay compatible.
Our Guarantee: We only stock cartridges with the most up-to-date chips. If a firmware update ever causes an issue with a cartridge bought from us, we’ll provide a replacement - no dramas.

TIP: How to Protect Your Cartridges

The best way to ensure your cartridges keep working until they are actually empty is to disable Automatic Firmware Updates. If your printer receives an update while a compatible cartridge is installed, the manufacturer can "block" that cartridge instantly - even if it’s brand new.

Why do it? It prevents your printer from being "told" to stop recognising the cartridges you’ve already paid for. Turning off auto-updates keeps you in the driver’s seat.
What about security? We recommend turning Auto-Update OFF, then manually checking for updates every few months. That way, you decide when to update, rather than letting the manufacturer decide for you.
The "No Undo" Rule: Please note that disabling updates won't "fix" a cartridge that has already been blocked; it only protects you from future blocks.

How to turn off updates: Settings are usually found in the "Maintenance", "Setup", or "Service" menu on your printer’s screen. If you're stuck, just search online for your printer model + "how to turn off automatic updates" - it usually takes less than 30 seconds!
