so I bought new cartridges and it did not work

I ordered one of their "genuine" ink cartridges (which was, of course, more expensive) and I heard nothing for 20 days

And cartridges are hard to find.

My HP (one I replaced with this one - my fault not the printer because I dropped it and it exploded into lots of plastic bits) would only use genuine HP high $$$ cartridges and that stunk.

love the individual ink cartridge, I got tired of tossing out ink that only had one color empty

This was my main gripe with my previous HP printers that I was forever buying very expensive ink cartridges, and the cartridge did not print many pages.

4.5/5 stars for me, setup had a couple hiccups, had to clean out the black ink cartridge with a q tip, and on my macbook I had to go into printers, delete the printer

So the price of compatible ink cartridges doubles for awhile before volume increases and prices drop

I already have researched where to get compatible cartridges, so that expense will be minimized when the time comes to refill

The straw that boke the back was when I installed a new XL color cartridge and the printer kept telling me that the cartridge was bad ( it was an original HP inkjet printer cartridge)

Called CS again went thru their super cleaning process which once again used up all 3 of the color brand new expensive ink cartridges

I tried cleaning the ink cartridges a few times, but it did no good.

The Brother website claims this is to prevent the printer from damaging the print head because of empty cartridges, but there should be a manual override to force it to print black-only when you have a perfectly good and full black ink cartridge like I did

The cartridges are more expensive, too.

I followed the troubleshooting steps, but it usually took until the next day for the cartridge to being working following the reinstalling procedure.

It also eats ink and will not recognize less expensive cartridges.

But, I have to say that unless you are a low volume user (like < 10 pages printed a week) and mostly use for scanning, I wouldn't use this as my primary printer - this or any inkjet for that matter - the cost per page is too high and changing cartridges is a pain.

I should have realized earlier that Brother makes a good, reliable machine instead of wasting time on another brand's printers, which have seemed primarily aimed at making me buy expensive ink cartridges alarmingly often

They force you to buy all of their expensive cartridges and if one of the four is low it refuses to print

Cheap cartridges and works great!

The cartridges are expensive and small.

The print is outstanding, I like having different cartridges for each color and black, I can replace what I use

The thing I love most about it is the ink, the cartridges are cheap, I am using generic and they work just fine, and they last a long time, I mean a really long time.

Large cartridge should equal more ink - reasonable profit should trump that feeling of getting screwed - but we all know the easy solutions to this problem.

I replaced the yellow cartridge (genuine Brother, cheaper at Staples than Amazon).

It's good enough for a cheap printer, but you'd better have spare cartridges handy, and my yellow Brother™ ink ran out incredibly fast, and the new one is on its way somewhere - and I cannot print a shipping label until that new, expensive ink cartridge gets here

I like the 4 separate ink cartridges that allow to only change the color needed.

This disables all printing even if its just one cartridge that cannot be read

Make sure it uses knock off cartridges (both my Samsung's, a B&W one and a color one, do just fine with them) and print away.

Put in new cartridge and wont work

Loving it as I did with my 2013 model.

As usual though, there's too much B.S. with the driver's not working as they are supposed to work
