AI-generated summary
For £13.68 ex‑VAT, this is one of those “it depends” buys. As an original Brother yellow cartridge, it’s a safe option if you want reliable colour and fewer headache surprises (banding, fading, or weird colour shifts). In day-to-day office printing—leaflets, simple charts, internal marketing—this should do the job without you babysitting print quality. If you’re the type who just wants it to work and keeps spares on hand, it’s a decent middle-ground.
That said, if you print a lot of yellow (or you’re printing in bulk for external customer-facing material), the price per page usually won’t compete with cheaper compatible or remanufactured options. Also, cartridges with “standard” yield often end up costing more over time versus higher-yield alternatives—so unless you’re not printing much, you may be paying a premium for convenience. I’d buy this if you’re using a Brother printer that’s touchy about third-party ink and your prints need to look consistent. I wouldn’t bother if you print heavily and you’re cost-optimising—then you’ll likely get better value elsewhere.
