    TN-2420 and TN-2510XL toner compatibility

    Brother recently released new printer models such as the MFCL2800DW, which appears to be an evolution of the MFCL2710DW, but which use different 3000-page toners: the former uses TN-2420, the latter TN2510XL. Can anyone tell me if these two toners are compatible and interchangeable and can be...

    Using Epson inks on HP printers: help needed if the print heads use the same technology.

    If I try to use Epson ink on my HP, in the worst case I expect unsatisfactory or unacceptable print quality, but I shouldn't damage the printhead, or maybe I'm wrong ?

    The price per liter of vodka is not competitive with isopropyl alcohol ... I think I'll use the W5 window cleaner/Window cleaner containing ammonia, without soapy water for now ...

    Cleaning inkjet printer heads: which chemical to use ?

    I've read several guides for cleaning inkjet printer heads and it is often suggested to use isopropyl alcohol instead of the normal and cheaper denatured alcohol, since the first is almost 100% pure and does not leave residues like the second. I was wondering: is it really necessary to use...

    HP Officejet Pro 8600: "There is a problem with the printer or ink system"

    I solved the problem described above by putting back the jumpers I had removed before inserting these new cartridges. However, I noticed that although I had almost completely filled the black cartridge with ink, after two days, only half of it remained: for some reason the black cartridge is...

    HP Officejet Pro 8600: "There is a problem with the printer or ink system"

    I have done everything described in this article (except for steps 4 and 5) without solving anything: the printer always stays locked with that message. I don't explain how it is possible that this product that is using the same cartdriges chip as mine, seems to work according to the user...

    HP Officejet Pro 8600: "There is a problem with the printer or ink system"

    @flyboy , The problem is not the size of the ink container (Ciss or normal cartridge), but the installed chip. Many compatible cartridges sold on Amazon adopt the same chip installed on my cartridges, that is easily recognizable by shape, color and W3, V1 characters. Considering that they...

    I saw that many compatible cartridges sold on Amazon adopt this kind of chip, easily recognizable by shape, color and W3, V1 characters. Considering that they have received thousand of user feedback, almost all of which are positive, it can be assumed with reasonable certainty that they work...
