Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I don't use this printer for presentation quality output, so I wasn't too concerned about matching the quality with the OEM cartridge. I use it for drafts, printing receipts, etc.. That said, I did compare some of my output from the original cartridge with this and the difference is so negligible as to be a non-issue for my use. Since the price was only 1/3 of the OEM cartridge, I think it's a bargain. As others have said, if I were using the output for presentations where I needed the sharpest output possible, I might take a closer look. For me, and my particular usage, it's 5 stars.
Update: After about 5 months of use, I've run into a couple of problems: First, the toner light came on again after about a month, even though the cartridge was new and had only printed less than 100 sheets of text. Second, after about 3-4 months with the toner light on (and less than 500 copies printed), the toner light went from blinking to solid and the status light went red, indicating that toner was completely gone. Apparently, the HL-5250DN uses a gear to gauge toner usage and the mechanical stop had been hit on this cartridge, fooling the printer into thinking it was out of toner. After messing around with several "fixes" found on the Internet, my printer won't work at all now. I am going to get a real Brother cartridge and will see if that fixes the problem. I'll post the result here in a subsequent update.
