I really want love this printer

We purchased this printer to replace an earlier model that served us faithfully for at least 8-9 years. There are many upgrade changes that the newer model provided including the large capacity ink wells and the much faster rate of print. It did not take long however until the printing became spotty, streaky and faint. OK so I discarded the non-Brother black ink and replaced it with an original Brother cartridge. Over the next several weeks I became very familiar with working through the view pad instructions an d repeatedly wasted lots of paper trying to get the machine to print.properly. Even the Brother cartridge would foul. I have eventually replaced all the ink cartridges and extra strength cleaned all the ink wells almost weekly until my last cleaning and line realignments about May 1 where we are still holding steady. I really want to like this printer but it is a challenge to my blood pressure. We'll see
Actually I haven't installed it yet because the original one is still printing just fine. I love the amount of print I get from Brother devices. Good quality, efficient.
I changed the cartridges and I got even less printed text than with older one. I don't know what to do

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ease lf installation was a plus for this ink cartridge However, the ink cartridge is a bit expensive. The quality of prints is a plus. The packaging was simple and instruction easy to follow.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The ink quality on the black ink cartridge is good! Always prints out smooth and clear. The XL tanks provides a 6,000 page yield which a lot for its size! Makes it more convenient to print without having to change cartridges as often. Super easy to pop into my printer after removing the old cartridge. Have not been disappointed by Brother’s before.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This cartridge is cost effective for high volume printing especially when you break down cost per page which yields cheaper than other options on the market.
