Does this come with "starter" cartridges? or full size ink cartridges?

The mixed results here mimic what I have noted about other brother printers on Amazon. Which ink you get is a crap shoot (and >$200 swing in value). Some are Blessed, some are Gyped. Reading the 1-star reviews, there is no hope for Brother - they don't seem to care - and they are still better than HP. But Amazon usually cares about its customers. Why do they continue to support this insanity?I would like to see a precise statement of what toner is included with every printer.That way I can intelligently decide on the value I can expect for the price that is listed.

Yes, the model I ordered came with 4 TN-310 toner cartridges (Black, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow) installed. The TN-310 cartridges are the smaller of the 2 types that fit this printer. Under my use, these lasted about 9 months - I would have gone through at least 4 sets of inkjet cartridges in the same time. The TN-315 cartridges that I am using now have already cranked out more than twice the # of pages that the original TN-310s did; and I have been very happy with the longevity and print quality of all the toners. - John Parsons

The "vote" is 4 to 2 for "starter". This should not be a philosopical, theological, or democratic issue. What is in the package: stater or TN310? The swing is worth approximately $228. SHAME on Amazon for letting this item and many others to be listed on their site without specific information on this important issue.

All new printers come with starter cartridges as far as I am aware. These particular ones have seemed to last longer than in some other models that we have compared to prior printers for the same departments however, they do not last as long as the replacement toner for the same time period according to my users.

YES! This printer comes with full size ink.. 2 cartridges, black and color.. AND you can sign up for instant ink program HP offers, for Never run out of ink.. I pay $9.99 a month for the service, and HP monitors my ink reserve and sends me ink before I'm out... I chose the 300 page a month print for $9.99. but you can get cheaper.. $2.99 a month to print 50 pages.. or $4.99 for 100 pages..

Yes some starter cartridges. They don't have the capacity of the regular cartridges but they get you started

Mine came with a full set of cartridges. I think they are classified as demo cartridges!

Yes it comes with 1 of each ink needed to get it started. I have had mine now for about 2 months, I homeschool my daughter so we use the printer a lot, and I have just now had to replace the large black ink cartridge.

it comes with a starter toner ink cartridge. It does quite a lot of pages before needing to be replaced. In fact I gave it to my brother to finish out the toner in his machine after ordering a new high capacity toner cartridge for myself. This is a great machine for all your Black and White printing.

It says it comes with ink cartridges-but they are probably the small capacity (starter) ink cartridges so you will need to buy the regular ones fairly soon if you do alot of printing.

It does come with a starter toner ink cartridge, I purchased mine last year so I can't recall the number of pages it printed. The printer has performed very well.

Yes to both. I bought mine from a office store. I cannot say for sure that these were full size, rather than shop floor demos, or less than full, I can say that it is several months later and I have not had to replace any of the original cartridges.

It comes with ink but the cartridges are supposed to contain just enough ink to setup the printer. However so far I have printed out about six 12 inch x 12 inch heavily colored t-shirt transfer prints and still have ink left. Because the spec said setup ink tanks, I ordered a full set of spares along with the printer. I think that printer manufacturers sell the printers for under cost and then make all their money on selling ink. By the time you replace the tanks twice on many printers, you will have spent more money on ink than on the printer. Just the same, I think it is an outrage not to include a full set of tanks with a new printer.

Mine came with both, but it's a good idea to order a full set of inks to have spares until you see how fast you go thru ink. I do a lot of printing and keep 2 full sets ahead, sometimes more.

Hello,The unit comes with 69ml starter ink cartridges. It would be a good idea to purchase the full size 130ml inks - we sell them for $70 each if interested.Thank you

Hi, it came with a set that was called a sample set, basically they were about 1/3 the amount of ink in them that a regular set has. Plenty to get an idea about the printers capabilities but not nearly a full cartridge. Hope this helps you.

It comes with 4 starter cartridges, but in the future you will need to purchase black, cyan, yellow and magenta. LC101 BK, C, Y and M. Get generics on Ebay - much cheaper than brand. I have never had a problem.

Yes, a "starter" cartridge is included. It will print approximately 500 pages.

It comes with toner cartidges, but they are definitely starter cartridges. Enough to do some light printing and prove to yourself that your money was well spent. You should order replacement cartridges soon though. I recommend the high capacity cartridges, at least for black.
