Works great until...
...you start seeing streaks of color on your printed paper that don't belong and you open up your printer and find that all three colors of these cartridges have spewed toner all over the inside of your printer. You may think you are helping the environment by buying these but not when it means you have to junk your printer along with a half-used cartridge.

Leaks
Yah it's cheap. Yah it got here quickly. However reman quality is abysmal. As previous reviews say it leaks toner all over the inside of the printer. Yellow streaks show up on every page. Toner dust inside the printer where it has never been before. It's a mess.

Okay
We’ll they seem to work okay but I am concerned about the recycling. Seems very complicated. The regular Brother cartridges are easy to recycle:

Messy and Poor Print Quality
Product continues to leak powder all over the copier and belt. Print quality is always off depending on which color is replaced. Never get a true color any more.

Messy and Poor Print Quality
Product leaks powder on copier belt and print quality is greatly diminish in using replacement toners. There is no consistent color quality...one color usually dominates over the others.

Used product
I was sent a used product that had a sticky note on it that says "makes grinding noise printer does not recognize" Guess what? It makes a grinding noise and the printer doesn't recognize it. Sweet company.

So Far So good
Quick Staples delivery as always. Good looking cartridge a little toner smudge that wiped off easily. (not unreasonable for a refill) Machine accepted the rebuilt unit prints look just like the original one's did.

Works perfectly
These "refurbished" cartridges are just as reliable produce the same print quality as the original product and are a great value.

Not as good as Brother.
The cartridge makes noise in my printer and the colors are not brilliant. I don’t think I will buy this product again.

Leaks creating blue spots on all printed pages
We purchased yellow magenta and blue. The yellow and magenta work fine. The blue is a complete mess. Very frustrating

Good quality toner at a competitive price. Love the fact that they recycle their own cartridges and pay the shipping to send them back.
