Brother LC422BK ink cartridge 1 pc(s) Original Black

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

Honestly, the Brother LC422BK “original” black cartridge for ~£17.14 ex‑VAT is a pretty typical mid-price consumable — but whether it’s good value depends entirely on your printer and how much you actually print. If you’re doing steady work and want reliable, consistent output (and fewer annoying print-quality surprises than with cheaper compatibles), it’s a reasonable buy. Original inks also tend to behave better over time with colour matching, text sharpness and “starts” after periods of inactivity, which matters if users print documents on an occasional schedule.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it just for the sake of it if you can’t confirm you’re using a Brother model that genuinely takes this cartridge size — mis-matches are common and then you’re stuck. Also, if your business prints high volumes of black pages, ink cartridges like this can get expensive per page compared with laser alternatives (which is probably why it’s in the “toner/laser” neighbourhood in your listings). In short: buy it if you want dependable black document printing for low-to-moderate usage; don’t buy it if you print a lot and you’re cost-sensitive — you’ll feel the hit on ongoing running costs.
