Brother suplies are expensive. I had Brother MFC-7420 and had to spend $50-60 every 2 weeks for the cartridges and another $80 a month for the drum. Brother-compatible and refurbished cartridges had very poor quality of printing (very pale). Refilled cartridges didn't work at all. I switched to HP. HP has perfect quality of printing, very unexpensive supplies, very easy to refill (costs me $10 to refill a cartridge every 2 weeks), no need to buy a drum. HP interface is not as convenient as Brother, it takes longer to fax a Rx. So, if you use network fax primarily for faxing, Brother is better, but HP is more cost effective.
