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.

Like to use OEM cartridges and these work great. Never leak, last a long time. Use in a Brother LC61 series MFC-790CW.

I have purchased several printer cartridges and have been delighted with the quality and value. I save a lot of time and money buying them on-line.

I'm a firm believer in OEM accessories for top quality equipment. If you want to maintain good and reliable performance from your equipment,don't take a chance on generic.

I love my Brother printer and the Hi-Yield cartridges. I have been ripped off by HP and the likes for years with the high cost of low yield cartridges and it's now a pleasure to run my printer -- Each time I print, I feel like I'm getting even with the manufactureres of rip-off printers having expensive cartridges that only print a few pages.

Bought a new all-in-one from Brothers and not knowing the expected life of the cartridge decided to order this immediately. Have not needed to use it yet

but it is identical to the one that came with the printer. No problems with seller and shipping was quick.

Not entirely sure if it was the cheap cartridge that I picked up, or what, but after my printer gunked up I wasn't about to go third party again. So I shelled out for the big guns and I'm happy that I did.

One dinged star the price and for the BS 'it's empty' message when I there was still 200+ pages rattling around in there.

we had gift certificates from the holidays and we really need new cartridges... the price at amazon was good so we ordered them here.. they arrived in just a few days..

thanks amazon
