I tried the V4ink black toner as a trial. It was a considerable saving over the Brother toner. It has worked very well. No banding and sharp detail. I ordered a second and will try the colour cartridges next. Addendum: after several months of little or no usage with this printer, I started to get banding and sploges on the paper. It appears that the coloured pigment has caked inside the cartridge. Changing all the cartridges (for anther make) solved the problem but at some cost. I suspect that the pigment absorbes moisture from the air over a period of time. I may try putting a couple of dessicant bags somewhere inside the printer.

Very pleased with the order - ink worked well and the quality seems very good too

Was in two minds whether to buy another printer rather than replace the toner set, that is how expensive the Brother toner is. Ludicrous decision to have to make. So with a little trepidation, having used generic toner in a previous printer and Bunning them, I tried these V4ink ones. So far, have been delighted. No obvious reduction in print quality, no leaks, and as good economy on consumption. All this for a fraction of the price. I should declare the company were kind enough to offer an additional set to me, without condition, in the hope I would leave a review. I would have left one anyway, eventually. I have not been sorry I bought these toners, and would do so again without hesitation. Not only have they saved a ludicrous 'do I buy a new printer or change the toner ' decision, but they have also saved money to boot and I'm happy to recommend them.

Hmmm.... I confess to a little of the "in two minds" over this. The good - it's easy... shake it, pull off the paper, pull off the plastic cover, slot it in and shut the printer -- same as the original toners. Fits perfectly, not worries. Recognised right away by the printer, no fuss, no errors. The "middling" - after ONE page the toner register says 98% left... it's reacting the same as the "start-up" toner. I have doubts over the 700 or 1000 page rating... I suspect it;s only about 500 pages as the start-up toners are. The bad - for some reason (*) it loses faint grey-scale detail. I printed a picture with the original toner then printed the same picture when I replaced the toner (about five minutes after the first print, so age isn't an issue) - there is an OBVIOUS difference between the two images. The original toner gives a subtle grey shading in the black (example, folds in a black cloak on a fantasy figure) -- the new toner just gives black. I'll take photos and upload them for the examples) (* I think, perhaps, the original toners are finer and spread less during the fusing process; the after-market toners are coarser and spread more when fused) It's a little disappointing but not a game-killer. Advice? If accurate grey-scales are important then stick with original toners... If you print out text, university work, web pages, etc (or, like me, print out black and white images for art reference) then this will do fine for you. I have doubts over the stated quantity of the toner, but it's not bad for the price.

I bought a drum several months ago when I got the drum replacement warning, didn't put it in as the printer was working fine (DCP 1612W) only 10 years old. That drum created a big splodge. Bought a new drum, different brand, shadows. Same packaging and labeling. Hmm. Decided to splash out a bit more, trying to find a brand that came from a different source. Boxing & labelling on this seemed different. Dropped it in, worked perfectly with the non-Brother timers I've been using for many years. Print quality as original.

A decent black toner cartridge, which works as well as any in my Brother HL31 40CW laser printer. Good value. I was pleased to read in the information for this listing that this toner cartridge can be used not only at home or in my office, but also in a hospital. You never know when that might come in handy. I don't think any of its competitors lay claim to that.

Finding a decent "unofficial" replacement toner can be hard. But as I balked at paying the same for a new toner set as the price of a new printer, I decided to try the unoriginal toner set from V4INK (as it was the highest rated product on amazon for this category). And surprisingly - it works without problems. The price is reasonable, the prints are nice, and the quality seems equivalent to the original Brother toners. So - a recommendation for me.

Absolutely awful and when put in printer it would not work. It brought up an error on my printer and sent back for a refund. Good proper one and works absolutely fine now, sometimes cheaper does not work out.
