I don’t print at home very often but with grandchildren I am starting to do more. I had purchased some new ink cartridges, but never installed. I recently tried to print out some color and replaced with new cartridges. Unfortunately, they had expired and the machine will not acknowledge that there are brand new ink cartridges installed, so it won’t print anything. I continually have my ink cartridges expire before I’ve used even a quarter of them.

A few months ago, I bought this 3-color set and a black cartridge. All 4 cartridges emptied out after just I printed out about 10 pages (black and white, with no color) because I print infrequently, and apparently the cartridges all dried out. A month ago, I bought another 3-color set and another black cartridge. This time the printer would not recognize the yellow cartridge, with error message that it is empty even though it is not. (I had not printed any color pages, and there is plenty of yellow ink in the clear square window.) Also, I can't print out any black pages (grayscale printing setting) because the one yellow cartridge is erroneously recognized as empty.

Many times machine says empty, I keep printing until is refuses to print. Then I remove cartridge and shake it. (Also make sure printer is level) Sometimes I get a few more prints out of it. Whenever possible I print black and white only. Remove unnecessary graphics from printing.

The inks installed on Monday, 3 colors plus 1 black. We printed 1 page black. Currently all 3 colors showed about 75% left and the black about 85%. This is crazy! The previous sets of ink were gone after printing less than 50 pages black and maybe 20 pages color (it’s maybe 10!). What’s up Brother? Fix it!

Doesn't print 260 before running out. Very disappointed.

HOW DOES THIS PRINTER RUN OUT OF INK WHEN IT HAVEN'T BEEN USED OR AFTER A BLACK AND WHITE PRINT ( GRAY SCALE) AND ALL THE INK RUNS OUT? I TOOK THE CARTRIDGE OUT AND ITS STILL HAVE PLENTY OF INK IN IT.

The cartridges were new and sealed. However, i was annoyed once I installed them, because the ink levels shown on my printer's LCD screen were not "full". Like, I don't get that.

It is hard to find off brand printer cartridges for a decent price so I bought these. They work fine just wish the black was included. I bought it separate.

Very pleased with the speed of delivery, packaging, and quality of the ink. I highly recommend this product and all printer ink products with Brother.

Great price but this printer goes through ink fast and if you need one color, you have to replace all three. No bearing on Walmart though, it's just not a great printer
