Do not buy brother

Today I threw a practically new Brother into the junk heap. This product is worthless if you cannot buy supplies. Cannon and HP seem to have plenty of ink. They seem to be a more reliable brand if you actually want to use your equipment. See ya Brother.

I owned a different Brother printer for years and liked it quite well. I bought a MFC-J1010DW in October and found it to be satisfactory. But I now can't find LC401 ink anywhere online or in local stores, just as several who have recently posted in reviews. I use my printer for my job and can't be without a working printer for long. If the ink situation isn't corrected soon I will be forced to buy another printer. I take no pleasure in it, but I feel an obligation to share my problem with anyone that may benefit from this knowledge. I ran a company for several years. If I were in charge of Brother today, I would inform the COO that he has 10 days to correct the problem. Otherwise I would terminate him/her.

Been trying to purchase LC401 BK ink for a new MFC-J1170DW printer, that I really was starting to like...but cant use it for last 3-4 months!! So frustrating, have had advice to go over to Canon brand, and look at purchasing there...a new printer (UGGH) and get it installed, etc... How could this happen? What is going on?

I really enjoy this printer, but not being able to locate black ink has driven me to purchasing a different printer. Are there any alternative cartridges that can be used?

Have been trying to purchase LC401XL black ink and for weeks says out of stock throughout the USA. How do you sell a printer and then not have ink available?

I liked this printer. Now I literally have to go buy a new printer because I am unable to work due to the complete unavailability of compatible black ink. It's beyond me how brother could sell so many of these printers without foreseeing the need for ink. Now this otherwise reliable printer is a paper weight. They have been estimating the product be back in stock for "2-4 weeks" for weeks already. I have no confidence in any availability any time soon.
