I can hardly believe you can get SIX of these for one third the price of ONE brand new factory unit. Hell, stick a fork in us...we might as well all start learning Chinese. How DO they do this??? - Oh and by the way, they work great and no leakage as far as I can tell. The machine also recognizes them as the real deal, and shows the ink level.

I must be the only person who so far has a defective ink cartridge after only a week of use. It started streaking. Then it printed faded and unreadable. Now it's not printing in black at all - and I only installed the 1 black cartridge about a week ago. I don't do a tremendous amount of printing - a page, two or three some days, or maybe a few more once a week, if that, and other days I don't print at all - so this shouldn't have happened so soon. Now I'm afraid to see what happens when I attempt to use the other black cartridge and the 3 color cartridges I also bought. At the time I made my purchase, it was a great deal price wise. The ink was about $10, and with shipping it came to about $15 for the 5 cartridges vs. the $50-80 I would've spent in Office Max depending on my rewards and coupons, etc. Now the price has gone up - so if you can afford to spend twice, or three, times the price for ink and get the recommended by the manufacturer ink - do so! When I use the Brother LC51 ink, my cartridges last me about 1 or 2 reams of paper, depending on my printing. With this cheap stuff, I got thru less than 40 pages of printing, and then wasted about a dozen pages of paper trying to get the cheap ink to print. I'm back to the Brother ink cartridge now, and the printer is working properly again. It comes down to that you get what you pay for in my case, and I'd be happy to get that money back!

I know---Your first thought is that it is too good to be true. That is exactly what I thought; but one day early August my sister and I (knowing that my nephew wanted ink for his b-day and that her family, in general, uses a good bit of ink) decided to check Amazon for a deal. Amazon almost always undercuts everybody on their pricing. Voila! Better deal than we expected---good price, good reviews, and good rating on seller. We decided to chance the price of one name brand ink cartridge for a whole set (two black & one of each color). GOOD DEAL!!

P.S. I'm bad about not taking the time to write a review (good or bad), but I'm about to order some more ink and thought I should forward the good find.

Has been working fine in my printer, haven't had a chance to try any photo prints, but works fine for everything else.

I bought this for my Brother MFC-465CN. The print quality has been excellent and the ink has lasted even more than the authentic Bother catridges that I got when I bought the printer. Excellent product and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a Brother compatible catridge.

So far this is great... very good price... it arrived in good time and it prints well... at least on standard documents... I haven't printed on photo paper...

Happy Customer with Ink and Shipping. No problem identified at this point of time after ink/catridge installation. Love to buy from Amazon rather to go and purchase refills from store or ebay.

These cartridges worked great with my Brother MFC-465cn. No leaking whatsoever and last the same amount of time as the ones that came with the printer from what I can tell. Don't be skeptical about not ordering the real ones from Brother, these are detected as manufacturer cartridges. You just can't beat the price even if they use ink faster, it will still cost you more in the end when purchasing the real ones from Brother.

Works perfectly with my Brother DCP-130C. Have not tested w/ printing photos, but regular color/text documents print with no issues. Great for college students that need basic printing on a budget.

Like many, it's gotten hard to afford office supplies for my home based business. There's no way I could buy the brother cartridges right now, so I figured I'd check this out. The blank ink looks just like the brother ink, and besides the actual cartridge, there's absolutely no way to tell the difference! Same quality, ink level is still recognized on my computers. Fantastic. I wouldn't hesitate to order more and definitely will in the future. This is the only time I didn't mind paying shipping and handling!
