Revolutionary Cost Savings
The DCP-T580DW's refillable ink tank system represents a fundamental shift from expensive cartridge-based printing. Each set of ink bottles provides exceptional page yields – 7,500 black pages and 5,000 colour pages from the initial bottles included with the printer.
The transparent tanks allow easy monitoring of ink levels, whilst the mess-free bottle design ensures simple refilling without spills. Brother's pigment-based black ink and dye-based colour inks deliver crisp text and vibrant colours whilst maintaining the reliability expected from this trusted brand.
Seamless Wireless Integration
Modern connectivity options ensure the DCP-T580DW fits perfectly into today's multi-device households. Dual-band Wi-Fi supports both 2.4GHz for maximum range and 5GHz for faster data transfer, whilst Wi-Fi Direct enables direct device connections without requiring a router.
The Brother Mobile Connect app provides full printer control from iOS and Android devices, including scanning directly to cloud storage services. Apple AirPrint and Mopria certification ensure compatibility with virtually any smartphone or tablet, making printing as simple as sharing a photo.
Engineered for Reliability
Despite its compact 39cm width, the DCP-T580DW doesn't compromise on capability. Print speeds reach 16 pages per minute for black documents, with automatic duplex printing maintaining 7ppm for two-sided output. The 150-sheet paper tray handles regular workloads whilst the manual feed slot accommodates specialty media up to 300gsm.
Brother's Contact Image Sensor scanning technology provides exceptional detail capture up to 2400x1200dpi optical resolution. The quiet mode operation makes it suitable for shared spaces, consuming just 2.5W in ready mode and dropping to 0.6W in sleep mode for energy efficiency.
