I have not tried one cartuche color on my Brother MFC 5890CN is compatible impecable. Petite (): If your printer does not recognize the cartuche first installed, remove the cap and clean the ink. Mine made me this turn, but once cleaned the cap, she recognized him immediately and then no problem. Frankly at this price point it looks like a dream. A single cartridge for my printer home costs more than 20 euros, and there I bought 20 cartridges for 21.90 plus shipping for free)))
