AI-generated summary
If you’ve got a Brother laser that specifically takes the TN-247M, this is the kind of “boring but reliable” purchase you want. A genuine Brother magenta cartridge tends to behave more predictably than the cheaper compatibles—less fiddling, fewer colour quirks, and usually more consistent results run-to-run. At **£86.15 ex-VAT**, though, it’s not what I’d call a bargain; it’s priced like a premium consumable, so it’s best for businesses that print colour regularly enough to justify that spend and can’t afford delays or headaches.
I’d only recommend it if: (1) you’re using colour outputs where accuracy matters (brand docs, marketing sheets, internal graphics) and (2) you’d rather pay more than risk reduced page yield or “patchy” prints. If your usage is low, or your magenta output is occasional (or mostly drafts), you might be better off comparing the true cost per page against alternatives before committing—toner is one of those areas where the cheapest unit price can still end up being the most expensive when yield isn’t what you expected. If you tell me your exact Brother model and roughly how many pages you print per month, I can sanity-check whether this price makes sense.
