Delcomcomputers & Wantmoreink Compatible Ink Cartridges for Brother printers

I bought these cartridges for my newly purchased Brother MFC-J825DW. The printer was quite costly but I'm fed up with cheap printers that fleece you for the price of an ink cartridge so decided to go with a higher up front cost and save on ink. These work out as £1 each - amazing value.They don't have the elaborate lockable orange plastic seals that Brother have on their own cartridges but have a small plastic stopper instead. Apart from that, they appear to be indistinguishable from the originals and slot into my printer without any problems at all.The quality of the ink is fine and suitable for all normal daily and routine requirements. The one thing I haven't tried as yet is to print photos so I'll post an update as soon as I have.In the meantime, if you have any questions, please post a comment and I'll reply as soon as I can.UPDATE & TOP TIP...I've now been using these for three months and they are working really well. I did have one problem with the yellow cartridge which just wouldn't load. I found the problem was that the plastic seal hadn't ripped away properly - I worked the hole with a needle and it then worked perfectly. The ink seems to be lasting for ever so I'm still recommending this as a five star buy! (updated 7/1/13)

Well, these are surprisingly cheap compared to the original product, which i have also used. The quality of the print is exactly the same. I bought these for my mfc-j625dw brother printer. I'm still on my first box months later, despite the fact that my printer irritatingly cleans itself all the time, despite the fact, i have been in a printing frenzy for the last three months, producing marketing flyers. My only problem with this product, and the reason they are getting four rather than five stars, is that the plastic covering the cartridge head is fused so tight, it takes at least half an hour to take it all off(which is essential otherwise it could damage the printer)using all sorts of implements including safety pins(not the most ideal). Its the only downside to an otherwise great product. Will buy again because where else can you get it cheaper? Hope they read this and fix the problem so I don't have to whine about it again. cheers.

[...] supplied these and while I must admit it took me three months to actually install them it was at this point that I discovered the ink had passed its sell by date by almost 2 years .... yes 2 YEARS! .. the items come unpackaged (as expected) and as such you can only tell when they were manufactured when they are installed (there is a chip which provides this information via the Epsom software). Needless to say the ink was UNUSABLE and although a cheaper than genuine purchase effectively a complete waste of money. [...] refused to acknowledge they had sold them to me and in the end it just has to go down as experience. Bought the genuine product from a reputable supplier since and will do so for every ink purchase in future as this avoids any issues such as defective products plus you receive genuine post purchase customer service if required.

I have bought 2 batches of Silvertrade-supplied cartridges for my DCP-J725DW. The first batch are not branded in any way and worked brilliantly. The second batch are branded "Jetplay" and the black cartidges caused no end of problems with blocked ink flow which won't clear with standard printer inbuilt cleaning protocol. It required drastic solvent cleaning attempts, which have worked short term only. The cyan is possibly going the same way (I am still on batch 1 of yellow and magenta cartidged). I have had to resort to buying a replacement printer to ensure reliability and continued compatibility with MacOS 10.4 The jetplay cartridges don't have a pull tape strip to remove before use - I don't know how the cartridge vents but maybe this is part of the problem?

Buying 20 cartridges for the same price I normally pay for 1 black cartridge made me rather dubious but, having installed 2 of them so far, I haven't noticed any difference in print quality between these and the Brother branded versions I normally buy. Working in the graphics industry, print quality is very important to me.The only slight problem has been removing the nozzle seals (they are supplied with a thin cellophane seal rather than the posh orange plastic ones which Brother use). This is a very minor issue - I was able to carefully cut all the excess material away with a sharp craft knife.Overall, I'm delighted with my purchase and, even if half of them fail to work properly, it still represents excellent value for money... no more thinking twice before pressing the 'print' button!

I have only ever bought Brother LC1240 branded cartridges and enjoyed very reliable quality from my printer. I was impressed by the price and reviews of these unbranded cartridges and bought them to replace my existing stock of the Brother branded cartridges as they ran out. I started using the new cartridges about 2-3 weeks ago and have experienced repeated print quality issues since. The problems are temporarily resolved by running the ink management 'clean' facility, but recur. I was unable to return to the seller as the 30 days grace period had elapsed. Advice to other buyers - by all means take a chance on these cartridges as the saving compared with Brother is massive and you might have more luck than me. But - test them quickly to avoid losing the option of returning them.

These inks are excellent value for money. They really are the 'LX' higher capacity cartridges. So often compatible cartridges don't give the performance they should - I am happy to say that these do! The delivery service is extremely good, usually within two days of ordering. The print quality from these cartridges is just as good as with the printer manufacturer's own OEM branded cartridges. I have no qualms about recommending these cartridges to anyone. (I use a Brother MFC-J5910DW A3 fax/printer)
