I've had to buy genuine Btother cartridges after some allegedly compatible brand of cartridge damaged the cartirdge holders of my Brother mid range printer that is compatible with my Mac system. I have never had such damage in 10 years of using the Brother printer so I guess I was unlucky but in the midst of a pandemic just when people started working from home, it meant I had NO printer for 6 months. The cost of the inconvenience far outweighted the cost of the new replacement printter when I was eventually able to get one...

I ordered the 4 colours for my Brother printer and all were delivered within 5 days. The type of LC3313 ink cartridges aren't readily available at most stationery outlets so very pleased that The Good Guys stock these.

Sometimes we try non official manufacturer cartridges. In my case, after many years of using non Brother cartridges in my printer I struck a dud that was so bad it damaged the ink cartridge holding structure and that printer was never able to be used again. Brother printer users know that if you don't have enough ink in all colours, (black, cyan, yellow, magenta) the machine will fail to operate and will simply not want to print. using OEM cartridges removes that problem. It was hard getting a new compatible Brother printer in the middle of the pandemic. i had to wait six months for supply of this particular model to be available in Brisbane due to everyone working from home...also in the line. It was an expensive exercise to use non Brother cartridges that damaged my Brother printer and meant I could not print anything for six months.

It is a terrible printer
