For the price, although only a small annoyance. But it is a pity anyway.
For the function with other printers I can not say anything.
Addendum (26/04/2014)
Property me now bought the following cartridges and am very satisfied: 10 XL cartridges compatible with Brother DCP-J315W LC 985 LC 39 Sparset (4x black & each 2x cyan magenta yellow)
