What is the Brother Value Print Program Plus (VPP) and how does it work?
The Brother Value Print Program Plus (VPP) is a three-year print program offered through Brother Authorized Resellers that helps you better manage printing costs and device uptime.
Here’s how it works for your business:
- **Three-year commitment**: You agree to purchase and install select Brother printers or all-in-ones and use Brother Genuine supplies (toner, ink, drums) for a three-year period.
- **Discounted supplies**: In return, you receive **discounts on Brother Genuine toner, ink, and drums**, helping you achieve a more competitive cost-per-page.
- **Extended warranty included**: Your participating devices receive **three full years of limited warranty coverage**, tied to your commitment to use Brother Genuine supplies for the full term.
- **Cloud-based management**: You gain access to a **cloud-based remote monitoring, reporting, and management platform**. This lets you:
- Monitor devices securely over HTTPS
- Automate or simplify supplies replenishment
- Configure and manage devices remotely
- **Easy setup**: Compatible Brother models include a **“Connect to Server” on-screen button** to quickly pair the device with the cloud platform.
The program is designed for organizations that want predictable print costs, simplified device management, and fewer service surprises over a three-year horizon. To enroll or review full program guidelines and pricing, you work directly with your **Brother Authorized Reseller**.
What benefits does VPP offer beyond supplies discounts?
Beyond supplies discounts, the Brother Value Print Program Plus is structured to help you stabilize operations and reduce administrative overhead around printing.
Key benefits include:
- **Three years of extended limited warranty coverage**
Your participating Brother devices are covered for **three full years**, as long as you use Brother Genuine supplies for the duration. This can reduce unexpected repair costs and simplify budgeting.
