This is a Brother cartridge-however it is a low yield cartridge that comes with the printer when you first buy them-that is what this cartridge is the equivalent to. I am not sure how much you want to print, but for me I am in school and I need a high yield cartridge. If you do not print a lot then this would be ideal, but the price is not appropriate. Honestly they should be charging half of what they are charging for this product or at best give two for this price. It is genuine, but not a high yield, I will reiterate it is the equivalent to the cartridges that come with the printer when you first buy it. Hope this helps.

If you buy this from third-party sellers, you may not receive an actual Brother manufactured 450 page yield cartridge. Ink cartridge is one category of product that seems to have very shady dealers. Instead, make sure you buy ink cartridges directly from Amazon.com...not just "Fulfilled by Amazon". In the right-hand column, there are other buying options. Amazon.com is listed there.

Mine appear to be "the real thing"... I've ordered three different times and never had a problem...

I wouldn't buy anything that says "...cartridges for your Brother printer is manufactured to meet the same ISO-9001 original specifications and performance standards as the Brother." That statement is as clear as day. Hope it helps.

As far as I can tell they are original brother catridges...label and function suggest that they're original too.

yes they are oem and yes they are in a brother box, plus they come with a postage label to return your old cartridge for recycling

They are Kodak brand. I see where someone answered this question with them being a knock off. That is not what I received. Both the box and cartridge said Kodak.

Buying from a reliable retailer helps assure you are not receiving a substitute. The packaging says Canon, and these have worked reliably in my Canon Pro-100 printer for a couple of years, so they probably are genuine. If you are that concerned, consider paying the full price from the manufacturer.

They seem to be genuine. It is exactly like the genuine ones though you never know. They function as genuine and the quality of print is as same as ones I have used before.

The cartridge I received was a legit/genuine, brand new, HP brand ink cartridge.

What I received was an original Brother set of toners. They were not refilled. The price was dramatically cheaper than retail. Actually, it was cheaper than the local refilled toner cartridges.

The cartridges come in original HP packaging. I've not had any trouble with them.

I believe they are full cartridges. I purchased a different refurb cartridge, but it didn't work well at all. These cartridges work just fine. Not sure if it is refillable. Never tried.

The Amazon site where I bought them said genuine. The cartridges looked original, but they came in a plastic bag with a typed label, not the original boxes. The magenta went very fast, with no warning. So I'm suspicious. With opinions split, I surmise that the cartridges are coming from different vendors. How do you know which to trust? You don't. Maybe better to buy elsewhere -- preferably at an actual store.

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.

As far as I know, the Epson cartridges that I have ordered from Amazon have been genuine in that they work in my Epson printer.

I have not opened the box however it is in what appears to be a legitimate unopened OEM box from brother, which is the only cartridge I will use on my MFC8840DN.

They're ready to use as is. Like (I think) I said though, it just took 3 or 4 printer clean cycles for them to work right (which, as I also said, might or might not have been due to the fact that the printer had been unused for quite sometime). It's been several months now and they still work fine and seem to be lasting longer than the originals. I probably sound like a rep for the company that puts these out but, believe me, if I find something like this that works well for a fraction of the price, I am very happy!

I think it depends on the seller you choosee. I bought from Amazon and mine was a Brother part in the appropriate packaging.

These are not demo cartridges. These are the full regular ones just got em!

I can't answer this question exactly because it's not documented on the box or on the ink cartridge; however the ink is visibly filled to the top of the cartridge, and it is advertised as a direct replacement to the high-capacity brother cartridges, and they seem to last at least as long as the OEM cartridges.
