Do these cartridges come up with the vent on top (covered by the piece of tape in the pictures)? I've bought some that don't and have to drill a hole.

No need to drill any holes if you are buying for a compatible printer. Just be sure to leave the clear plastic that covers the nozzle as is. It will be punctured when you insert the cartridge into the printer. These have worked well in my Brother MFC-J425W.

Hello. I've not experienced any leaking cartridges myself after using several dozen, but I appreciate the note of caution.

If the cartridge uses the fine powder of laser jet print ink and there is a way to introduce the tip into an opening, then yes. My cartridge was sealed. I had to drill a hole and use the included foil tape to cover the hole. The screw cap and threaded container are very lose. Powder will spill out in the process of filling.

Yes, I believe they do. I have a friend who uses them and who highly recommended them to me. I know my friend got them from Amazon. I don't know if my friend has written a review or not. I have not yet used one of the cartridges. But, I have a lot of faith in my friend's judgement. Sorry I can't be more definitive.

There is ink in them. You insert them as you would a regular cartridge. The ones I bought have lasted a long time and well worth the money.

Yes they do. No drilling required. Pull tape tabs and install like OEM ones.

I don't have that model, but I looked at that model, and it looks the same as the cartridge I ordered. The cartridge screws onto the fill lid, and they look the same.

NO, but when re-filling tilt the cartridge up (vent higher than fill) and fill, or ink will come out the front felt on bottom. Do not level cartridge till you replace fill plug

I've never had a problem with the printer not recognizing the cartridges with these. Make sure you ordered the right cartridge number for your printer and follow the directions for replacing the cartridges. Don't forget to remove the strip that covers a vent hole before removing the hard plastic cover prior to inserting your cartridge. Try again.

They didn't when I ordered them. I just used clear mailing labels to make my own. You can even remove them, and it doesn't mess up the clear top.

Yes. The vent tube didn't want to stay on, so I had to epoxy it, but yes the battery comes with a vent hole.

Did you apply tape to the top of the cartridge after you refilled it? I made that mistake and had blocked the vent hole on the top (it's forward of the refilling hole). Removed the tape from the vent, and it worked great after that.

You will need butyl tape to seal the vent. I believe screws did come with it.

NEVER pull all of the cartridges out to replace the cartridges. Do them one at a time. Make sure all of the packing tape strips are off of the cartridge. Seat the cartridge properly before pressing down at the front of the cartridge. If the light doesn't come on there's something wrong. Most likely, you've ordered the wrong cartridges.

I really don't know, it doesn't appears any place on the package. However the cartridges come individually pack in a vacuum plastic material.

Not sure, install and try....if the cartridge has no sign of outside damage and the top is clean.I would try one....if the gas push the nail in.

Hi there. When I bought these, there was a plastic cover over the ink part. You must remove that and peel back the tape and then put in your printer. Hope this helps. These cartridges also ruined a printer of mine I now no longer have. It wasn't as compatible as they said and broke the ink heads on my printer. Ink spilled all inside. Good luck.
