    Do Brother printers prevent you from using non Brother branded cartridges?

      Brother printers won’t even let you print in black after you’re out of yellow for three weeks.

        Its worth knowing brother has very recently taken on this stance as a company. They used to be the GO TO for good non shitty printers, but no longer

          Define recent? This one is almost a decade old.

        And they’ll burn through yellow during “cleaning” to make it even worse

      Worse, they make printing in black only without colors anywhere from impossible to infuriating, depending on how much you’re willing to put up with.

      And yeah, you get one use of a non brother cartridge, then it’s “empty” permanently.
