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?

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.

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!

Service at Staples
The staff at the Bay City Michigan staples as always welcoming courteous and most important problem-solving. I hope the company recognizes their ability to make customers want to return and I am seeing that less and less so treasure these people.

Great so far
Good experience with printer so far. I print out a LOT of papers for school including power points with lots of colored pictures and ink has lasted me a good while. I appreciate that they cover ground shipping.

Ink is VERY EXPENSIVE, and does not last very long. Had I known what the operating cost for this printer was when I purchased it 8 months ago, I never would have bought it. I hardly print anything in color and I'm on my third set of ink cartridges. Very disappointing.

Brother LC404 ink Cartridges 3/pack
The cartridges are way overpriced and don't last long because they have such a low capacity of ink. Lousy product and can't wait to get a inkless printer.
