These generic replacement ink cartridges work perfectly in my Brother MFC-490CW printer. I have ordered them several times, and have never had any problems. The MFC-490CW is a general purpose printer, and the results using these cartridges is comparable to the original Brother LC61 cartridges. Colors look decent, and ink consumption seems to be similar to the original. Being generic, there may or may not, be a brand name on the box. The generic cartridge looks slightly different from the Brother, but have no worries, they fit and are recognized by the printer's ink level monitor.
These non-OEM cartridges are packaged and sold in various quantities, so it can take a bit of research to find the best deal, for the kind of printing you do (color vs. black ink). The prices for these items fluctuate, but with shipping costs included, a unit cost in the one to two dollar range is common. That is still a fraction of the cost of the Brother LC61 cartridge. And the prices for generics at Amazon, are often better than what can be found on eBay.
Unlike Canon, Brother does not take extreme measures to try and force consumers to buy their products. These generics are inexpensive, easy to use, and produce good results. Until something better comes along, there is no reason for me to consider using anything else.

I have to say that I was skeptical about buying this ink...because the price was so low. But I have to admit that I am more than satisfied with the product and it's performance. It is SO economical that I will no longer hesitate to print anything in color...as I know that I can get a screaming deal on ink for my printer!
Count me as VERY satisfied!

I've been pleasantly surprised by this ink since i ordered it several weeks ago. First off, the order was shipped in half of the estimated time, for free nonetheless. I only encountered one short problem regarding the ink levels. When you first place the cartridge into the printer, it takes a bit of time to recognize the ink level. This however is minute in comparison to the positives. The price alone got me, however the quality of prints are great as well. Not only clear and crisp, but bright and clear as well.
