@observer @Wortex17 @ifixcoinops oh definitely, I never buy anything but OEM anyway, learned the hard way that the little extra QC they do goes a long way not not having problems.
Good to hear from a printer tech that it’s not all in my head, too. You have greater patience than I dealing with those things every day when clients insist on cutting corners.
Edit: as a print tech, who’s your go-to OEM? Mine used to be Sharp until they got ‘smart’. So Brother it is.
@SecurityWriter @Wortex17 @ifixcoinops I'm at the whim of the bosses as far as what brand, but I mostly deal with Kyocera and Sharp these days, and yeah, 3 iterations ago were probably the best machines Sharp would ever make and it's been a steep downhill since. With a few exceptions, I've been pretty impressed with Kyocera though. Easy to work on and pretty solid. Haven't seen too many of the newer Brother machines though, mostly because the old ones are still out there chugging away. Brother's "Authorized service provider" setup is a bit of a joke though. $80 in "credit" to the shop for half a day's labor doing a warranty board swap
