| The "Brother LC02C Ink Jet Cartridge (Cyan)" is one of the necessary accessories you'll need if you purchased one of Brother's 7100 series MFC's. Rich in color, the ink cartride gives you a good buy for your money. If you a person who doesn't use your MFC on a daily basis, then the cartridge will last you for a long time. However, if you're a person who constantly uses, then the cartridge;s supply won't last too long. That is the only negative thing about this product. Besides one minor fault, Brother's MFC/Fax accessories are one of the market's best buys in quality and performace. I recommend purchasing a few of these cartridges whenever your purchase them online so that you can have some on reserve just in case your cartridge runs out of ink. The separate cartridges in these printers are a great idea. I used to hate throwing out the whole color cartridge in the other printer I had. However, since each of these cartridges run out all at different times, if you use this printer a lot the warning light that a cartridge is almost running out of ink seems to be on continuously, as each time it is a different one. |
