Brother LC31BK Black Ink Cartridge

Used for printer/fax/copier in home office. Clear and crisp print, but small size means frequent replacement.

Far too expensive

It's impossible to evaluate this cartridge without blasting the printer it goes in. The cartridge is easy to install, but its life is horrible because the printer cleans itself at least once a day....Read complete review

It's impossible to evaluate this cartridge without blasting the printer it goes in. The cartridge is easy to install, but its life is horrible because the printer cleans itself at least once a day. Don't be penny wise and pound foolish, the way I was -- even if it costs a little more, buy a printer by ANY other manufacturer!
