Product Description

Innobella inks and papers represent Brother¿s next generation of printing technology. Brother Innobella inks are uniquely formulated. When Innobella inks are used in any of the LC61 or LC65-based MFCs or Fax machines in combination with our new Innobella paper, the results are smoother, natural looking images and fewer granularities, producing our best looking prints ever. Brother¿s new Innobella paper has optimized surface coating for photo quality brilliant colors. This thick, high gloss quality paper, when combined with Innobella inks, provides rich, photo-quality feel, significantly smoother levels of reproduction, more vivid colors due to a shift in color spectrum, and improved light and color fastness.

From what I've been able to determine, the 61 cartridge isn't high yield, while the 65 is.
We just changed the first ink cartridge on our mfc6490cw. I've been printing mainly with black, but also did about 300 very small (2"x3") photos with lots of sky. We managed 700 copies on the first black cartridge as far as I can tell. Cyan is at 50% and magenta and yellow don't really show as being low yet. The machine has been beeping for the last week warning us black was low, but only today did it quit printing due to lack of ink. The last page it did was as good as the first, so I have to wonder exactly how low that ink was when it quit on us. At any rate: we had no wasted prints from low ink and it was nice enough to tell us it had stopped. Can't say that with the HP at work!

I print a lot - I mean a LOT - and can go through a regular ink cartridge in less than two weeks. The high-yield cartridge lasts me over a month, and I print at least half a ream of paper per day, including graphics, photos, and other ink-eating documents. I only use the Brother OEM parts, because refills or generic brands can gum up the machine and will void the warranty. There is no reason to use refills or generic either, because if you buy from Amazon, a high-yield cartridge costs the same as a refill anyway.

I bought my BROTHER MFC-6490-CW printer for the 11" X 17" printing feature, which I use often. Had I known the cost per page factor, due to the cost of ink, I would NOT have purchased it. While it has a nice feature in that you can change any of the CMYK cartridges one color at a time, I am changing far to frequently. All of my other printers seemed to get 2 - 3 times as many pages per cartridge than this one. The cost for cartridges is modest, but I am changing them monthly now, and I most often don't print more than a half dozen color 8.5 x 11" pages a week! A typical cartridge will only get about 30 pages (8.5 X 11). The K will get more, but who can afford buying ink this often? Not me - Never again, Oh Brother, I am paying too much. You build your printers to sell allot of ink.
