Considering expenses over the life of a printer I research and select the cartridges first then the corresponding printer.
The last 2 printers have been Brother taking the LC type cartridges. I can get a dozen of them for a few dollars off Amazon. If the printer has to take OEM cartridges the cost will be exorbitant in the long run.
I just checked Amazon and you are absolutely correct. I never thought to look for COMPATIBLE ink cartridges.
Thank You for the great tip.
