Brother Genuine LC527C Ink Cartridge - Cyan

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

Brother genuine cyan LC527C at £17.18 ex-VAT is one of those “pay a bit more, but avoid hassle” inks. If you’re running a Brother inkjet printer that takes this cartridge and you value consistent colour without streaking or annoying print-quality drop-offs, it’s a sensible buy—genuine tends to behave more predictably over time than the cheaper compatible options. For regular office use (forms, internal docs, occasional marketing bits), it’s usually trouble-free and you won’t be spending your day fiddling with cleaning cycles.

That said, I wouldn’t buy this just for the sake of it. If you’re printing heavily and your costs are a constant pressure point, the genuine price can hurt—especially compared with compatible cartridges that can be noticeably cheaper. Also, if you only print occasionally, genuine can still be fine, but you’ll want to make sure your printer is used often enough to prevent clogs from sitting around. Bottom line: buy it if you want reliability and predictable output; skip it if you’re chasing lowest ink cost per page and your printing volume is high.
