This success has been strengthened by our careful strategy of supporting ambitious small businesses, who appreciate the importance effective technology.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The functionality and affordability of our A3 models has made them a popular choice, allowing small businesses to save money by bringing much of their professional printing in-house.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The A3 multifunction market has seen 132 percent growth in Europe during the last five years and continues to grow*. Brother is the only brand to offer a fully multifunctional inkjet that can print, scan, copy and fax in A3 and sold more A3 multifunction printers in Europe than any other manufacturer during 2010.<\/p>\n<p>Brother&#8217;s latest A3 inkjet models, which launched in February this year are the MFC-5895CW, MFC-J6510DW, MFC-J6710DW and MFC-J6910DW. The new models provide faster print speeds, and enhanced A3 functionality and print quality. Recommended pricing starts at \u00a3299.99.<\/p>\n<p>The launch of the new range is supported by Brother&#8217;s 141% marketing campaign, which was introduced last year to promote its A3 models and will continue throughout the current financial year.<\/p>\n<p>*Infosource: Western Europe &amp; EU &#8211; 2005 &#8211; 2010<\/p>\n<p>Europe&#8217;s A3 multifunction market leader-board:<\/p>\n<p>1.
