Has been working fine in my printer, haven't had a chance to try any photo prints, but works fine for everything else.
 Can you afford the real thing? February 16, 2008

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!
 Any problems with bleeding when paper wet? January 28, 2008

I'm not sure if I have this particular brand of 'compatible' ink but mine bleeds when the paper gets the slightest bit wet. I was wondering if anyone had this problem who has bought their ink from Amazon?
Good Deal! January 7, 2008

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.
