Are we having stereotypical talk shop about printers?

I though it was an urban legend, but I did buy a used brother and I'm def delighted. Spent less on it than a round of inkjet for my crappy Canon. Guess what, 6 months later and I'm still using the toner that came in it. I'd be in the 2nd round of dried inkjet.

Why, yes. Yes, we are.

My experience mirrors yours; 6 years later, still no issues. Moreover, old used laser Brother’s seem to love shittynonametoner.com cartridges as well.

shitty no-names - they work fine. functional, and if I'd started with them, I doubt I'd ever perecieve a diff, but... for color laser - I find the og brother toner carts are much more vibrant and colors overlay (and therefore mix better). I almost wish I had two brother printers, one with OG expensive brother toner and another for all the print jobs I might want color for but don't care about fidelity.
