Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I ordered this cartridge about ten months ago as the first replacement for my Brother DCP-7020 Multifunction scanner / copier / printer. The original "starter" cartridge lasted much longer than I expected, so it was months before I got around to using this replacement.
First of all, I was disappointed to realize this is a REFILLED cartridge, not a brand-new compatible cartridge as implied in the description. There's nothing wrong with refilled cartridges (as long as they have been handled and refilled carefully), but the customer should know exactly what to expect when ordering.
Secondly, I had concerns about the cartridge I received from the vendor who supplied mine (they called themselves "ShopGoPro"). The outer box arrived crushed, and the flimsy cardboard spacers inside tore in transit and barely held the cartridge in place. Furthermore, the black bag that held the cartridge was punctured and torn. I posted photos on my Flickr account and shared the link with the vendor, who assured me it would work fine or I could return it.
Because of an illness and vacation, the starter cartridge didn't run out for many more weeks, and I didn't try the replacement because I wasn't sure it was a good idea to use and then store a full cartridge.
As it turns out, the refilled cartridge has been merely OK. It worked acceptably at first, but after a few hundred pages I'm starting to see small spots and faint streaks I associate with an older, more worn printer. Probably cleaning will help, but I really intended the first replacement to be a brand-new cartridge so I could rule out the cartridge if I had any service issues in the first year of use.
On the plus side, the price of this cartridge is much lower than the list price of a new one at my local dealer. However, for refills I prefer dealing with a lcal shop so I know how the empties were handled.
So, if you order this cartridge, check the package carefully on arrival, and look closely at the printed pages to ensure you get the quality you expect.
