    Just buy a Brother printer, they all use compatibles without any problems, no silly chipset to worry about.

    If it is not printing black after a new cartridge has been fitted, then it is probable that your printer head is blocked, and no amount of changing cartridges will fix it.

    Head cleaner chemicals can disolve the hardened ink.

    You can do a head cleaner sometimes it may take a couple of cycles to do it

    I always use Epsons as its cheap compatible ink

    I can recommend these I use them all in printer

    Theoretically you have already invalidated the warranty by not using Epson inks.
