Bought this to replace the "Starter" cartridge that came with my Brother MFC-490CW. Little did I know, this is a 2 pack of STARTER cartridges, which basically means you only get around 500 pages, instead of the 1500 you would get with a STANDARD cartridge! You can get the standard Brother brand in a 2 pack from Amazon, for the same price, here:

The product works, but the non-disclosure of this information makes it unacceptable!

I am supporting what a previous reviewer noted these are only starter cartridges, not full ones (it says so on the packaging that the cartridges come in). Again, while it doesn''t bother me that they are starter cartridges, I would have liked to know that that is what I was paying for the non-disclosure to the customer in the product listing is unacceptable. The full cartridges appear to be the same model number, as is the listing posted by the other reviewer, so how am I supposed to know that 400 pages = a starter cartridge?

Other than that, the first one inserted into my printer appears to be working fine. And the shipping to Canada was very reasonably-priced, and very fast (about 1 week!). So thank you for that.

BEWARE!!!

I only have second-hand reports as to the good quality of this ink, but I have first-hand experience that suggests the distributor here is storing them in a truly horrible manner. Right when I opened the package I saw that one cartridge had leaked inside its shrink-wrap. So I called Amazon, and after a bit of a go-around with a newbie agent, another agent refunded my money. I then proceeded to use the second cartridge. It lasted all of fifty pages and then the black, ONLY the black, faded out over a couple of pages and then disappeared altogether. Ink levels show it as full, but four cleanings produced nothing but blackless printing. From my technical background, I surmise that these cartridges were stored in a metal shed in the desert of Arizona (where the distributor is located), in the ATTIC of that shed where they reached temperatures approaching or surpassing the boiling point. Caused one cartridge to blow up and the other one''s ink to cook to a goo that has jammed up the works. If that stuff gummed up the printer, the company will be billed for repairs as well.

BEWARE!!!

First ink cartridge I got was a bogey. Nothing printed, not even on both cartridges. Had to get a replacement from Amazon (btw Amazon, you''re awesome). Don''t forget to clean the printer after you''ve installed your cartridges, sometimes nothing will print until you clean it a few times. (Yes, I did do it for my first package)

Nothing really much to say about it. It''s ink cartridges. For your Brother Printer. It''s an OK price for ~$15 a pack, it''s not a horrible price, but it''s not that great either. One thing you should note, is that the cartridges hold much more ink that the printer says it does.

The way the ink is read, is through the little window that you can see by pulling the front forward. When the ink says it''s out, tilt it and see if there''s any. If there is, all you have to do is cover the window up (I did it with electrical tape) and the printer will see it as "full" (it''s not full of course). Just keep printing until you run out of ink, and then swap it :)
