Review on Z Ink Replacement Brother TN450 by Mario Portillo

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Seriously good buy. Works well

I've always been an OEM because I've seen that aftermarket toners are less likely to pollute the printer by leaking when the cartridge reaches end of life. However, after trying some EZ Ink color cartridges at Brother Inkjet, I decided to try a toner cartridge for my laser. So I got 2 less than the price of an original Brother cartridge. No problems installing, the toner out message went away without having to enter the firmware to clear it, and the toner density seemed to match the OEM cartridge. I may update this review if, like many other third party toner cartridges, the toner squirts out and makes a mess. I work with a computer for a number of clients who have gone with a third party toner to save money so I know this is happening. I'm not sure how much money they saved since they ended up calling me to clean their printers. However, time will tell.

Pros
  • Everything is fine!
Cons
  • A questionable purchase for the elderly
