Product Description
Brother DCP-145C Inkjet Photo Printer is a low flatbed printer model. The multifunction includes copy, scan and print colourful documents and photos. The printer is based on Ink Jet technology. Each of the function’s highlights is listed below.
Colour photo printer
We can print documents and pictures in both mono and colour mode. The print resolution ranges up to 1200×6000 dpi. As a reason of using standard Brother’s consumables (Innobella range of inks and papers) the picture/ document clarity is amazing. The photo images are automatically enhanced using the Reallusion Face Filter studio Software. The print speed varies upon the size the documents or images (refer the specifications table).
Scanner
It is possible to save the scanned copy to any location in the desktop / laptop or any USB memory stick. If the scanned document needs to be edited it could be stored in OCR (optical Character Recognition) and edited as required. In case of scanned pictures, the photos can be stored in any photo editing software and could be edited. The resolution of the scanned copy is 1200×2400 dpi, but the same could be increased up to 19,200 dpi if we set the interpolated resolution (an inbuilt scan software increases the resolution).
Photocopier
The photocopier speed is indicated as 5 copies per minute irrespective of monochrome or colour input. The copy resolution is up to 1200×1200 dpi.
