If you're looking for an all-in-one machine that covers all of your home or office needs, the Fax-2480C can certainly fit the bill and cover all of your bases. Via a simple USB connection, this unit can immediately become the color and black and white printer that you're looking for. It can run color copies or transparencies at up to 1200 dpi in quality. And it can send and receive and print off faxes. All of these functions can be run at a rate of up to 25 pages per minute black and white, or 20 pages per minute in color.
The Fax-2480C does have a need for black, yellow, magenta and cyan toner, and the need for 4 different colors of ink can certainly add up if you're running a lot of paper through it. Luckily, each cartridge for the 2480C can yield 500 pages of production. That means a longer lifespan and less frequent purchase expenses handed off to the consumers. ClickInks offers all four colors of Brother cartridges, as well as the twin packs of black toner. ClickInks also has their own line of cartridges that are guaranteed to work with your 2480C at much less cost per unit. And with free shipping within the continental US.
