when to buy ink for MFC-J870dw when new machine

Because I read others comments before buying the Brother printer,I was aware that the included cartridges don't last; therefore Iordered a package from Amazon with the new printer.Boy,was I glad. Short life is too nice, the ink low came on after the first preliminary run. The Brother replacementsare much better quality than the wanna bees. Brother'sdon't leak, the color is more vivid and they install withoutZERO fuss. My replacements are a bit more than a monthin use and the low ink indicator is still on hold.

Soon, as the ink cartridges that come with a new machine don't have much ink in them and will run out pretty quick.

The printer will inform you when the ink is low. At this time you should order ink soon.

The printer will warn you when it's close to empty but new machines only come with half-full ink!

I do not think so. maybe I just got a bad one but I have to run the head cleaning feature each morning before it will print black properly. I used Ink4work several times it they work just fine.

your printer comes with ink, which is considered a starter pack that hold a lesser amount of ink than the slandered cartridges.(typical for all printer manufactures) when I ordered my printer I also ordered both black and try colored cartridges for I knew that the printer came with starter cartridges. On your LED display (if idle) press OK on your printer and your ink status will appear. this will show you your ink levels individually and it will also show you when a certain cartridge is low by indicating LOW. if you are a Prime member this is the time to re order and you will receive the replacement in two business days. there is also a ink status monitor setting that will appear during set up that will put an icon in the lower right hand corner on your PC's monitor that you can click onto view your ink status and will automatically inform you when a certain cartridge is getting low. you only need to replace the one that is low. DO NOT use cheap refilled cartridges, they are prone to leakage and can cause permanent damage. I hope this helps... 0

Your best bet is to buy a Brother MFC7860DW. I pushed my HP printer off a cliff a while ago...Never again.

Sorry, I don't know MFC-J475DW. You may check the specs. If the specs says that LC61 series ink works for it, this product should also work for it.

The ink package itself will tell you what models it is good for. You should be able to get an ink cartridge for the 730.

I only use the converter. The company should be able to tell you which ink cartridge to use.

I also wonder if older firmware is better for compatibility. The most current firmware available for my Brother MFC-J450DW is version "H". I didn't download it since my printer is working fine. The existing firmware on my machine is version "E" (To check for firmware on your machine, Go to Menu, use arrow key to scroll to "Machine Info" then "Version") My printer detects these inks with no problem.

yes, work force 310 anyways. got sick and tired of constantly replacing ink at a high price so I just bought a black and white lazer. No ink problems now. got a Brother DCP-7065DN from Amazon for a great price. Good luck with Epson, I will never buy a printer that uses ink again. Going strickly toner. I also had Hewlett Packard and other ink printers but no more !

You can get it direct from XPRO. I just use regular ink I can buy by the pint. Just as good, and a lot less expensive.

I have the MFC-J870DW printer and they work fine, the print quality is good. The packing label does state the cartridges "will work" with the MFC-J450DW printer. So, I assume they will work.

They changed the housing slightly, you need these http://www.amazon.com/E-Z-Ink-Replacement-MFC-J6510DW-MFC-J6710DW/dp/B00KGHKXFY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1430885656&sr=8-1&keywords=brother+825dw+ink

Moti - I've had a firmware problem with a new Brother MFC-J450DW I bought at the end of 2014. I've tried third party inks without success - the printer doesn't recognize them.

Unfortunately not... you will need to purchase new ink blocks for the 8570 series... FYI, you can find some "Starter" ink for less around the web, but be warned that the 8570 is programmed to reject the starter-ink after a certain number of starter ink input... the ink is identical apart from a uniquely positioned tab at the bottom of the ink that the printer identifies as starter-ink. It seems that xerox is using this as a way to prevent dealers/individuals from removing the ink from printer and selling separately. Of course the bottom line is that it adds to their bottom line. - Also note.... if you intend to use single sheet feeder, you will need to remove all paper in the other tray... the single sheet feeder is the only jam-free way that I have found to print on some card-stock paper. All the best.

I have the Artisan 810 and it is a major ink hog. Probably will return to HP and accept some of their flaws. At least the HP ink is a lot less expensive that the Epson. Too bad since in most other aspects, the 810 is a decent all in one unit.

I have a 310. I am sure you can check with Epson's Website. With my machine, I prefer the 68 over the 689 because they last lot longer. I always buy Epson because many of the cheap inks are not as good or they are actually remanufactured cartridges. I always buy them on Amazon because they always cost less.

NO ...Also beware that Brother has this printer and the ink,setto expire 6 months after the cartridges are inserted weather you use the ink or not. Fullink cartridges will no longer work after 6 months. I would NOT recommended this Brother MFCJ450DW printer.
