What I needed
These cartridges last us a good amount of time. Ink is ridiculously expensive though!

IL Y AVAIT UNE CARTOUCHE VIDE DANS LE LOT DES 4 COULEURS
bonjour
il y avait une cartouche défectueuse dans le lot des cartouches couleurs le BLEU.
malheureusement je ne l'ai pas remarquée avant de défaire l'emballage et c'est regrettable car il faut que je redébourse autant à moins que vous vendiez les cartouches à l'unité???
donnez-moi des nouvelles svp

LC404 Ink
Are you guys strictly on AI or what? The only direction you give is click the stars - nothing happend. Then I put in what the review was about - 'your ink' ? Then below it indicates fields marked with asterisk are mandatory - what fields. The review and title fields, eh. Were you looking for a rating on the ink or Staples?

Poor marketing-
No place is carrying these replacements. They are not available in store locally in St Pete as the Brother website indicates. The substitutes don't work; the printer doesn't recognize them and there's no override on the MFC-J1205W.

I need help!
I have needed to replace my genuine Brother ink cartridges 3 times in the past few months. I print around 20-30 sheets per week. Why does it run out so quickly? Do I need to change printer or ink?

Cartridges seem to be dried up!
I purchased this ink and followed all instructions, it does not print correctly, some of the image is lighter than others, the colors are very faded. I have had to email my stuff to my husband to print at his work due to the very very poor printing.

Serious ripp-off
So little ink in such a large cartridge. Small volume (probably <20 cc) is excellently disguised through careful photography and deceptive branding. Congratulations Brothers!
