Do not buy until you need so you can return.

Tammy March 26, 2026

I bought this around 6 months ago. I installed the black a couple months ago, no issues. Today I installed the 3 color cartridges . I had to do 4 print quality checks because I had to keep doing the nozzle cleaning. I think the problem is the cartridges not the printer. Magenta never worked and now it's saying those 3 color cartridges are empty. The date on the box says they are good until 2028! I definitely didn't get my money's worth.

Brother Ink Cartridges - quick delivery!

Chelle March 5, 2026

I have always used Brother Printer cartridges and my printer has never failed me. The colors are vibrant, they are so easy to install. The delivery was only a few days from Walmart and usually they take a few weeks so that was an added bonus. Will definitely order again and highly recommend this product.

Luz March 21, 2026

just put cartridge in machine todayand printed 20 pages and the ink is showing more than half empty. What a rip off! It says 200 pages can be printed and that is not true. Never had this issue before.

not worth the cost

Malia March 28, 2026

To me, it didnt seem like I got very many print pages out of it. Within one day my brother printer was warning me I was low on ink indicating I needed to purchase a new one.

WalmartCustomer November 3, 2026

OH...so this survey is about my order for the Brother Ink...and I thought Walmart was concerned about how we felt not receiving all of our food order items this weekend. (My daughter and I live at the same address). I cannot comment about the ink BECAUSE the driver who attempted to deliver it RETURNED with it, to the store. SO I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ITYET. Walmart AI robotic voice says the item will be delivered again soon and if I don't receive it in 48 hours, I should request a refund. WHERE is quality control regarding deliveries and the delivery people? When your delivery people steal items for themselves and a customer has to wait for a replacement or a refund, then faith in Walmart's ordering process goes to the wayside. I have provided a good description of or house and front porch area on the online order, and we have replaced our house numbers with LARGER numbers. Delivery person could have called us and we could have added any info they needed to locate us.

I like this very much

phylliss November 29, 2025

I hate having to change printers just because companies upgrade. If my printer is working fine then products should still be offered. I like this very much.
