This review is from: Brother LC51M Compatible Magenta Ink Cartridge (Office Product)

We ordered this cartridge thinking it is the original. The product description says 'by Brother'. Upon receiving it (and another by the same seller), we found these are compatible cartridges. My old Brother 5640 got konked out as I had used compatible cartridges and Brother's warranty wouldn't cover it. So I felt deceived.

These compatible cartridges may work fine, but if you have any problems just remember the warranty. I have used a few of these compatible ones for over a year and the price/value proposition is very good. But there is a risk in that, the printer may not recognize these cartridges and keeps asking for a new one. This is exactly what happened with our old printer.

The seller acknowledge the error in the description, but after 10 days the description hasn't changed, making me believe it is intentional misleading. Are we shopping in the third world or what?

When I first put this Magenta ink in the printer everything came out with a pinkish hue....too much Magenta. Now it seems to have run out without telling me because there seems to be no pink color anymore.

Great product - works exactly the same as the Brother brand. I counted the pages and I got approximately the same number of pages. No clogups in fact, I believe I cleaned the heads less than I had to with the genuine replacement cartridge.
