Finally the long awaited relaease of the Brother LC39 compatible ink cartridges. Ink Hub as usual is one of the first retailers in Australia to release the compatible LC39 Brother cartridges to the public. As with all our range of Brother cartridges these contain high quality USA ink and plenty of it. Over the years our staff at Ink Hub have carried out extensive tests on all of our Brother compatible inks and the results have been outstanding.

The Brother LC39 ink cartridges are compatible with all of the lates Brother printers. These include: Brother DCP J125 ink cartridges, Brother DCP J315W ink cartridges, Brother DCP J515W ink cartridges, Brother MFC J220 ink cartridges, Brother MFC J265W ink cartridges, Brother MFC J410 ink cartridges and the Brother MFC J415W ink cartridges.

At Ink Hub over the past 5 years we have sold around 1000 sets of Brother Compatible cartridges to every 1 set of Genuine Brothers. They have performed faultlessly and the Brother printers are without doubt one of the most ecenomical printers on the market in redards to running costs.

The Brother LC39 consist of 4 seperate cartridges. These being 1x Black Brother LC39BK, 1x Cyan Brother LC39C, 1x Magenta Brother LC39M and 1x Yellow Brother LC39Y. As with all Brother ink cartridges the compatibles are identical to the genuines except they are MUCH CHEAPER and contain a lot more ink.

Brother ink cartridges are very basic in the fact that they dont use any micro-chip or have any form of printhead built in. All of this is performed by the printer itself. Most Brother ink cartridges actually have a transparent window on the back (thin side) of the cartridge. The printer itself detects how much ink is left by 2 small light beams.  The printer uses the transparent window to detect how much ink is left in a similar way to us humans looking at our drink level in a cup.

Whichever way you look at it the Brother LC39 compatible ink cartridges are a great way to save you money and give you many years of trouble free printing!

Well the new Canon range of printers has hit the market. You may have noticed (as with everything now days) the size of the cartridges have got smaller but the price hasn’t. All of the latest models use a set of 5 ink cartridges- the Canon PGI-520BK and Canon CLI-521’s.  Our online store “Ink Hub” has the  Canon PGI-520BK cartirdges for a crazy $10.20 each. Dont waste your hard earned money on Genuine Canon PGI-520BK ink cartridges when the compatibles are the same quality for almost half the price ! Some of the Canon printers are even using 6 cartridges. They have an extra Grey cartridge the canon cli-521g. Be warned when looking to purchase a new printer that you dont get sucked in to buying one of the new Canon printers using only the 2 cartridges (PG-510,CL-511 and PG-512,CL-513). Canon are clever as they generally sell these quite cheap. BE WARNED however as the ink cartridges for these are very costly. You are much better sticking with a printer using the Canon PGI-520BK and CLI-521 cartridges.

Canon PGI 520BK - Works the same as the Genuine PGI 520BK

Canon PGI 520BK -  Contains more ink than the Genuine PGI 520BK

Brother LC38 / 67

The Brother LC-38/LC-67 compatible ink cartridges are finally here. These have been huge sellers and no wonder at $31.00 for the full set this represents a huge saving over the genuine OEM cartridges. The Brother LC-38 (Brother LC38 ink cartridges)  and Brother LC-67 (Brother LC67 ink cartridges) are exactly the same as the genuine OEM brother ink cartridges and they contain more ink so your dollar goes even further ! The Brother ink cartridges are a very reliable cartridge, unlike other cartridges which contain microchips or built in printheads the Brother cartridges are simply a plastic canister which holds ink. All of the electronic sensing of ink levels etc is done by the printer itself so there is NEVER any problems with Brother ink cartridges. Good quality compatible ink cartridges usually contain American made ink which is of a very high quality and you will find absolutely no difference whatsoever in print quality between the Genuine ‘Inobella’ inks and the compatibles. In all of the tests conducted by our technician at Ink Hub we concluded that the print quality is equal to or better than the Genuine Brother cartridges. The compatibles actually tend to have more vibrant colours than the Genuine Brother cartridges. If youre on the lookout for a new printer you cant go past the Brother Printers for price, reliability and ink cartridge prices.

At last the Canon PGI-520 and Canon CLI-521 compatible ink cartridges with microchips already fitted have arrived. Once again Ink Hub is the first online ink cartridge store in Australia to offer these compatible ink cartridges for $49.90 for the full set of 5 ink cartridges.

The new Canon PGI-520 compatible contains 2.5ml more ink than the genuine OEM Canon ink cartridge. The new Canon CLI-521 cartridges contain an extra 1.5ml of ink in each cartridge as compared to the genuine OEM Canon ink cartridges. So if you are looking to save around 45% on the cost of your next set of ink cartridges definitely dont buy Genuine Canon PGI-520/CLI-521 ink cartridges go for the cheaper alternative and start saving! These new cartridges operate EXACTLY the same as the genuine Canon ink cartridges.

YES they do read the correct ink levels.

YES the print quality is identical.

YES your printer warranty will still be valid.

Still skeptical ? At Ink Hub if youre not 100% happy with every aspect of your new canon ink cartridges tell us and well refund your money and shipping costs.

Are compatible ink cartridges better value than Genuine cartridges ?

If you had asked me this question 5 years ago the answer I would have given would have been NO!

However with the fierce competition nowadays and the huge advances in technology my opinion has changed 100%.

In the early days of refill kits and compatible ink cartridges there were only a handful of companies that produced generic cartridges. One of the better known ones (which still exists today) is a company called “Calidad”.

I guess that many of us were introduced to the generic alternative ink cartridges and refill kits through Calidad as they dominated the industry years ago.

Times have changed however and Calidad have been left at the post. The modern compatible ink cartridges coming out of China nowadays are far superior in EVERY aspect.

At Ink Hub we have spent much time testing a huge range of compatible ink cartridges and we have narrowed it down to two main suppliers. We can honestly say that our compatibles are equal in print quality, most contain more ink (some up to almost 3 times the ink capacity of a genuine) and represent a HUGE cost saving.

We still get emails from people asking if compatible ink cartridges will damage their printers. Well we have NEVER had a report in all the time weve been selling ink cartridges and toners (100,000’s of ink cartridges) of a printer being damaged. Also remember that Printer Warranties are still valid if you use a compatible ink cartridge and printer manufacturers cannot (by law) void your printer warranty because you have used  compatible ink cartridges !

Finally let me say that at Ink Hub weve done the hard work, we know what works and we only sell the highest quality compatible ink cartridges available. Have a read of the customers “Reviews” on our website and STOP wasting big dollars on genuine ink cartridges.
