Review on πŸ–¨οΈ Allwork LC3011 Compatible Ink Cartridges for Brother MFC Printers - 4 Pack (KCMY) by Donald Waller

Revainrating 1 out of 5

THEY ARE COMPATIBLE BUT NOT 100%

Bought these replacement cartridges for a Brother MFC-J895DW. They work and the print quality is the same as genuine Brother ink cartridges. However, I immediately encountered problems: 1) Brother's "Status Monitor" software on my PC, which recognized a newly inserted cartridge, showed "?". 2) The ink level gauge on the small screen of the printer also showed "?" for each color cartridge. But the printer worked and the quality was ok. I immediately contacted tech support and was told (after a long wait) that the "?" was due to the cartridges not being "Original Brother". BUT then the ink level in the Status Monitor software quickly dropped from 100% to empty - much sooner than expected. However, the printer continued to print without an ink low warning. So my caveat to potential buyers is that based on my experience, don't expect the ink level indicators (software and hardware) for these cartridges to work - they don't. I think I'll change the cartridges again when the printer stops printing. I'll update this review when I know what's going on.
