Ink is grossly overpriced
All the Brother Original Inks are grossly overpriced. When the cost of 1 Black ink (xl size) and 1 set of color inks cost more than the cost of the printer,... And when the printer update makes it impossible to use compatible ink... Well, you might want to consider another brand of printer.

Need better options
Why do they make these printers where to if one color runs out and you are only using black ink only it will not work. These printers need to be revised to allow you to use black only if you choose to use color than you buy color ink. Whomever created these printers is not very friendly. Seems like the ink runs out faster than you use the printer

The best place to shop
Not everywhere carries this particular set of ink cartridges. Staples is the best place to get them. They have them readily available for either pick-up or delivery. They are NEW, not like when you try to buy online at some place that sends you refills. Staples and everyone that works there gets 5 STARS!!!

Exactly what I needed
My computer printer was running low on yellow ink. When I tried to purchase the yellow ink cartridge individually, I learned they only come with other colors in packs. So, I felt it would be better to order one individual yellow ink cartridge online. I then had it delivered to my local Staples store, so I can pick it up. Everything turned out just right.
