New Color Ink-Jet All-in-One from Brother Features Direct Access to Web Content from Touch Screen
Brother is introducing its newest color ink-jet All-in-Ones for small and home offices, including the MFC-J825DW ($149.99), which provides direct access and printing of Web content from the touch screen, such as content stored on Facebook, Picasa Web Albums, Flickr, Google Docs and Evernote. With its Web-connected touch screen, the MFC-J825DW joins other color ink-jet All-in-Ones from both Hewlett-Packard and Lexmark that enable users to access and print Web content directly from the touch screen, without using a PC (for instance, from the touch screen, access and print documents stored at an online document storage and sharing site, such as Google Docs).
