How to Replace an MFC 5440 Print Head
A print head, which distributes ink from the cartridge onto a piece of paper, is the core of all Brother all-in-one inkjet printers, including the MFC 5440 model. Repeated use of a printer causes print heads to become clogged or worn, resulting in poor print quality. Because Brother all-in-one printers rely on the print head for the printer and copier to function properly, replace the print head cartridge immediately if cleaning the print head does not improve print quality.
