If you know how Brother decides that a cartridge is necessary, or you
know aobut this particular model, MFC-J625dw that would be great, but
otherwise, I should read the webpages first and I apologize for
bothering you all.


One Amazon reviewer says to tip the printer
at 90 degrees for a few moments, so the ink
covers the LED sensor.

I'll try that. The ink is translucent. The black vinyl tape I used
was totally opaque, which is what that guy recommended.

Hard to believe, in an era of chipped cartridges,
someone is still doing this. Using LEDs to sense ink.
