Brother LC900 Cartridge OR NOT!

Hi, its been a few weeks since my last post I admit but things have been getting very interesting business wise and you can only do so much in a day. However in the last few weeks some thing of interest has come to our attention with Brother Printers/Fax machines and all in ones.

If you use these cartridges you will know that the originals are about £12.00 plus vat each,our compatible retails at £5.99 plus vat . A Bit of a difference to put it mildly!However we have discovered that Brother have modified the base of this cartridge and added a plastic moulding plug to the bottom of the cartridge. The compatible does not have this moulding. This moulding we believe acts on a switch in new machines taking this cartridge, which allows them to work. If you have an older machine it still works but does not require the plastic moulding to activate anything and so is unnoticed. Hence this cartridge works in any machine that takes this cartridge. The compatible, which does not have this moulding, works sometimes in new machines and always in old machines.

So what are we doing you ask to solve this problem, so far we are building a list of new machines that do not like the compatible and are offering customers with these machines Original Brothercartridges at a really good price. This is until we can get a compatible with the plastic protrusion.

So if you have bought LC900 compatible cartridges and are using them in a newish (6 month plus old machine) and experiencing problems, contact your supplier or US to ask for a solution. We are swapping like for like with our customers as part of our no Quibble guarantee.

Happy printing.
