Review on JoyPrinting Cartridges Replacement MFC J491DW MFC J497DW by Chris Lentz

Revainrating 5 out of 5

So far, so good. for printers and accessories

I work at home and type a lot. I decided to try these cheaper inks to save some money. Here's my take: Genuine Brother ink - snaps easily JoyPrinting compatible ink - requires some pressure to install the ink due to the transparent film on the ink nozzle (printer punctures it after installation) Print quality with JoyPrinting compatible inks - great, no complaints Price JoyPrinting compatible inks are great, cheaper than original inks. The only thing that worries me is that a question mark (?) appears on my printer's LCD after installing JoyPrinting compatible inks. 10/twenty]. I hope that this question mark will disappear over time. Although JoyPrinting compatible inks will do the job. I'll try to update my post over time :) UPDATE - 09/06/20 JoyPrinting compatible inks (I've replaced black and cyan so far) still show a question mark on my ink status LCD screen. I got a little frustrated when my blacks started printing incorrectly (text was missing and fading). However, this was quickly fixed when I ran the "Printhead Cleaning" from the printer's "Maintenance" tab. All in all I'm still happy with JoyPrinting compatible ink to this day :)

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Not everything is as good as it says it is
