Although I like and agree with most of your reviews, I feel that TR is doing a disservice when leaving out an important factor with Ink Jet products. You mention how misleading the speed is (which is getting totally out of hand) but then you quote the manufactures yield for the cartridges. If the speed of the MFC-990CW is as far off as you state it is, then is the manufactures yield as far off as well?

Some years ago I owned a high end HP office inkjet that had 4 separate cartridges. I could never get full yield out of them the best I could get was about 65 to 70% of the yield out of each cartridge. By getting just 65 to 70% the cost per page would go up considerably. I now use laser printers mostly Konica Minolta and Kyocera and either they get close (with in 10%) or over the stated yield. Anything above 15% is not expectable.
Just my thoughts…
