Product Details:

If you need an A3 printer and have the space for it, the Brother MFC-J5740dw has a lot to offer. While this cost-effective multifunction printer is heavy and bulky, it’s also fast, with print speeds of up to 28ipm mono or colour, and scans at up to 25ipm. There’s an automatic document feeder (ADF) with a 50-sheet capacity, plus two 250-sheet paper trays and a 100-sheet multi-purpose tray. And you get double-sided printing, scanning, copying, and faxing up to A4 size. So far, so good…but it doesn’t stop there.

The MFC-J5740dw has dual-band wireless and Wi-Fi Direct capabilities, plus Ethernet and USB 2.0 for wired connections. Cloud printing is supported, as are Apple AirPrint, Mopria, and Brother’s mobile print apps. You can print directly from a USB flash drive too, and there’s a colour touchscreen LCD (8.8cm) for stand-alone use.

For Brother MFC-J5740dw ink, you need black, cyan, magenta, and yellow LC432 or LC432XL cartridges. You can choose to use third-party compatible LC432XL inks too — and save money — or you can opt for the high-yield version (LC432XL) to get even more prints out of each cartridge. Value Pack bundles of standard-yield and high-yield cartridges are also available.

The Brother MFC-J5740dw has a recommended monthly print volume of 250-2,500 pages, which will suit most small offices. One thing — while this printer produces A4 and A3 size prints, it only scans and copies up to A4 size. If that’s a problem, then you need the Brother MFC-J6540dw or MFC-J6940dw.

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!
