AI-generated summary
This looks like an original Brother LC121BK black cartridge, priced at £13.97 ex-VAT. For most small-office or home setups that only need black text occasionally, it’s a perfectly sensible buy—original ink tends to behave consistently, with fewer “why is it streaking?” moments than compatible alternatives, and it’s usually straightforward to swap. If you’re printing letters, invoices, or admin docs and you want predictable quality without tinkering, this is the kind of cost that won’t derail your workflow.
That said, I wouldn’t get excited about it if you’re a heavy black printer. Ink cartridges can add up fast, and you’ll often find better value either by moving to a higher-yield option (if your printer supports it) or by comparing the effective cost per page against compatibles or multipacks. Also, minor gripe: the category you’ve shown says “LASERSUPP > Toner Cartridges,” but this is an ink cartridge—so double-check you’re buying for the right printer/consumable type before you commit. If you confirm it matches your Brother model and you print modest volumes, go for it; if you’re printing all day every day, you’ll likely feel the pinch.
