I love my Brother printer but...

Printer cartridges are quite expensive compared to refillable cartridges. The brother does a tricky thing. If you refill a different brand cartridge, it will not have a Brother chip that tells the printer when it needs to be replaced. Your printer looks like it's out of ink and has stopped working, even though the cartridge hasn't expired. Find your model on YouTube. There is a video showing you how to manually reset the page counter. If your pages come out with poor coverage, pull out the cartridge and shake it from side to side and you'll get more pages. In general, you need to become familiar with this to get the most out of a printer, but color laser printers are much cheaper to run than comparable inkjet printers. Also, when printing in color, the monitor treats each page the same for all three colors, but cyan runs out about twice as fast, so you'll learn to reset the page count to avoid buying yellow or magenta.
