Is Brother skimming by calling empty early?

your ink is good, but many have good ink. My main peeve is you indicate the ink reservoir to be low or empty when it's not. Then even though there is remaining ink, you have engineered the software to not allow continuation of printing without replacing with a new cartridge. You indicate empty even earlier (more ink remaining) when using a non-brother cartridge. When time comes to replace the printer, I will do so with a non-brother printer.

Thanks for taking the time to review your experience with the Brother LC2033PKS Inks. We appreciate your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that you are having Ink yield not as expected with the Brother LC2033PKS Inks. I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you. We’d like an opportunity to help. Please contact us directly at: https://www.brother-usa.com/support NOTE: Brother recommends that customers don't use generic ink cartridges or refill their Brother ink cartridges. Using non-Brother supplies may affect the hardware performance, print quality, and machine reliability since the ink formulation in genuine Brother ink cartridges prevents smearing and clogging of the print head. The Brother limited warranty doesn't apply to any problem caused by the use of unauthorized third party ink and/or cartridges. Brother multifunction machines are designed to work with ink of a particular specification and will work to a level of optimum performance when used with genuine Brother branded ink cartridges. Brother can't guarantee this optimum performance if the ink or ink cartridges of other specifications are used. Brother doesn't, therefore, recommended the use of cartridges other than genuine Brother branded cartridges with this machine or the refilling of empty cartridges.

Brother ink is the worst

The first time I bought Brother ink for my MFC printer I was pretty happy. It lasted a fairly long time even with 2 kids at home. The last 2 times buying for the same printer the ink has showed empty 2 days after installing it without even printing. The other infuriating thing is that it says my yellow is empty. To me that is a workable situation for the moment. I can print this in black and white... WRONG! Printer won't print at all because the yellow is low. I will never ever buy another Brother printer

They work. Period.

These cartridges work well, consistently. I've never had an ill-printed page with them, and the colors are rendered nicely. I'm not convinced I get anywhere near 550 pages from them, but at least the quality is good. I've always used Brother brand cartridges with this printer, and it has always worked well.

Ink runs low too quickly, too costly

I read and agreed with a review from someone stating that the color ink cartridges seemed to run low quickly, even with little color printing. I had the same experience. Brother sent a reply stating how the printer will mix all colors even for black only, which I have done on occasion. However I also go out of my way to select monochrome as suggested by Brother and it seems to make little difference.

Stated page yields for genuine Brother cartridges are based on the ISO testing standards. The number of pages that can be printed with a cartridge is affected by several factors, including paper size, number of pages per print job, amount of print on each page, font size, and print content (graphics, charts, etc.). Print jobs with large text fonts, graphics, charts, and/or large amount of solid coverage (black or any given color) will use much more toner and will shorten the life of the toner cartridge. Please verify you have purchased a new Brother Genuine cartridge by following the steps on this website: https://www.brother-usa.com/supplies/ink-and-toner/security If you have any questions about your Genuine cartridge, please contact Brother customer service at www.brother-usa.com/support.

Good, Long Lasting Ink Supply

Good ink, good price, easy-peasey to order on-line and pickup in the store. What's not to like! The high yield cartridges last 3-4 months with heavy use.

color runs out too early

color runs out even when printing black or monochromatic and will not let you print black without replacing the color which suspiciously drains rather fast.

We understand your Brother LC2033PKS ink cartridges did not last long. We'd like to help. One factor that will affect your color ink consumption is the cleaning cycle of the machine. The machine is designed to automatically flush and clean all of the ink jet nozzles on a programmed schedule. During the cleaning process, the machine draws out a small amount of ink to remove air bubbles from the cartridge and to remove dust and dried ink from the ink nozzles and channels. This not only ensures premium print quality but also ensures the life of the print head. Because of the ink jet technology, this process is common to all ink jet machines. If you have any questions about your Brother Genuine cartridges, please contact Brother Customer Service: https://www.brother-usa.com/support

Good value

Love having separate cartridges for each color. The colors are vivid and work on different brands of paper quite well. I mostly print photos and they come out beautifully.

on line purchase

The availability, price and excellent delivery, free shipping. . I couldn't be happier purchasing from Walmart. This of course includes the black ink as well as color pack of ink for my Brothers printer.

Good purchase

The only complaint is with Brother is, they made me use all the colors because they were not genuine Brother ink. I am happy that I bought this package and it is working fine
