Handling: While you have to remove some plastic parts prior to insertion in the original cartridges, it's much easier with these cartridges. The small plastic bag in which the cartridges are welded individually, cut and remove a single label. When inserting, ensure that the cartridges are used slowly so that the printer recognizes the cartridge. Should not realize pull out and insert it again he. This can also happen with the original cartridges. When handling the compatible cartridge is superior to the original, unpacking easier.
Print quality: How proposes a cartridge package that costs less than a single black Original cartridge LC1240BK? To make it short - very good. The text prints are just as good (or bad, when compared with other brands) as the original ink. Even the black of these cartridges is "highlighter hard", what is in dye-based inks but self-evident. Photo printing manifest then but subtle differences. But only if you have a direct comparison. The term of these cartridges is a little paler than the Brother ink. When comparing some prints with this ink on a good photo paper with prints of a photo service, I like the colors of these prints generally better because they look more natural. For UV resistance of course I can not make any statements a few days after purchase.
Conclusion: These cartridges are highly recommended. Here can be found on the cartridge no manufacturer name and who reappointed these cartridges after a long time, may be temporarily disabled to be sure to get the same goods again.
Another tip for photographers: If you want to print a lot of photos in the highest quality and will still save a lot of money, which was to think about it, to buy a supply of cheap cartridges and then decide on a photo paper. For 25 to 30 euros, you can can create a ICC profile for his printer in various companies in order to really get the best quality from the device. You get from the company, a test image with different color dots, prints the out with its printer, the desired cartridge and the auserkorenem paper and send it in. The term is now scanned with special equipment and created from the color deviations from the setpoint a color profile. The color profile is then recorded in Windows or Mac OS, thus you really gets everything out of the printer. But it is important to know that this is true color profile for exactly a combination of printer cartridges and paper and is only used for printing on the computer, not when printing directly from the memory card.
Supplement 23 September 2013
I have since repeatedly referred these cartridges. I am still very happy, but would like to make three comments:
1. The supplier did not deliver unfortunately the third time from the identical cartridges. Color quality, no difference was observed, so ok. But the cartridge housing was another. So probably another manufacturer and therefore possibly also other quantities
2. I originally posted, the capacity is comparable to the LC 1280. That's true and not true. It's true for color cartridges, but not in the black. Because the org. LC1280BK considerably more than most ink contains cartridges that are also however, still compatible with the LC1240. There are now a few LC1280BK replicas with 70ml ink - which is also expressly in mind that they only fit into the A3 machines.
3. If the range but I'm something else failed: that is different depending on the printer in the same cartridge. I have the impression that the cartridges (from the same supply!) In 5910DW create more pages than in J929DW. If the J925DW anmeckert the cartridges to be empty, you have to be careful when take out, because there are still a few ml of ink into the cartridge and may leak. Even when 5910DW is still ink in the cartridge, but I have the impression that it is less. I have more than 1000 pages printed in recent days with the wedding newspaper A3 machine and these cartridges and was pleasantly surprised that I got on cartridges with three sets, although many photos were on the sides.
