Brother - LC203BK XL High-Yield Ink Cartridge - Black

I purchased this Brother OEM replacement cartridge for a Brother MFC that I recently purchased for my daughter. The cartridge is an extra capacity replacement cartridge, i.e., 550 pages vs 250 pages, and represented a better value. Little did I know that in addition to my $5 discount reward certificate, there was an addition 15% discount for this item! Cool! A $24.95 regular price cartridge netted out at only $16 + change. This item is a FFF replacement, i.e.l Form, Fit and Function replacement for the starter cartridge that came with the MFC, so a big increase in capacity and no drop off in print quality. My daughter has been very pleased with the MFC, stating that the colors render true and the blacks render BLACK! All in all, very pleased with the purchase and will purchase it again when the time comes.

Purchased on line and it arrived at my house the next day! That is the only reason it got a 3 star review... the 3 stars should actually be 5 for Best Buy making the transaction easy. Returned the ink because the printer itself could not 'recognize' that the cartridge was in. This was the 3rd new ink cartridge that I bought new, and opened only to have it not be 'recognised' Brothers tech support advised I buy (and waste) more ink cartridges. At $24.99 a package, thanks but no thanks! I returned the ink cartridge, which Best Buy actually took back OPENED and bought an epson printer!! Kutos to Best Buy! No more 'brother' for me!

I bought this Brother printer because my old HP 8450 gave out and started leaking. I looked at everything on display and I liked that this unit stated the cartridges were long lasting and....well cheap. I've had it long enough that the printer still works with Windows 10, but was made for 7 and 8. The ink lasts like the box promised and for inkjet printing, page count is as important as print quality. Unless something drastic happens, my next daily printer will be another Brother unless Epson comes out with a low priced ink. I love Epson for photo printing.

Researched this purchase first and I am not disappointed this printer is fast and easy to set up and wifi works flawlessly print is well defined and this printer is easy on the ink I have had HP LEXMARK AND DELL none work as well as this one scanner is awesome I use it a lot. My wife and I are music ministers at are church and she is the church secretary so this printer gets put through its paces. We love it. Just hope it holds up a long time. But for now it gets 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The black ink cartridge was the first to require replacement, so I shopped online, and chose to pick them up at BEST BUY. The packaging is good, and the cartridge was easy to replace. My Brother is back in business, and that makes me happy! I gave it four stars, but time will tell if it should be more or less, because these are the high yield cartridges. I hope that it becomes a five star rating.

These ink cartridges are great once you get them to start printing. After installation, they print very poorly or not at all. It requires several cleanings before it finally starts to print -- wasting who knows how much ink, not to mention my time! That being said, once it starts, it's great. Print quality is good; ink lasts quite awhile, and it seems to be cheaper than the last brand I had.

Initially I had purchased ink thinking that it would have all the cartridge required. However after opening the box it only had color ink cartridge. When I went back to Best Buy to return them. They said that they don't take open cartridge back because there are too many cases of people returning empty cartridges. I understand the reason but I am still disappointed. Then I was required to buy the black cartridge so that I could print. Not good experience.

I learned a lesson with my last printer, not a Brother. Never purchase ink that is not manufactured for your particular printer. It is so easy to go to Best Buy on line and just duplicate your last ink order. I have excellent color quality with using Brother Ink. Not one thing I could possibly say against it. Definitely would recommend this ink to Brother owners, without hesitation. And always make sure you have all colors on hand..ALL THE TIME.
