Black is very difficult for an ink jet printer. If you are using the wrong paper, it even is more difficult. Please use paper made for ink jet printers, because the paper can absorb the fluid better so the pigment is more visible. There are also different ink's you can buy, but please if it really should be black, only use the brand own ink. Not a cheaper version. Professional printers even use different blacks for photo paper and for matte paper (and ink jet paper). Just to microbe how difficult it is to get real dark black on different media.

MCF 6400CW PRINT IS LIGHTLY BLCK SO PRINT IS NOT GOOD

Hi ! You reffiled the cartridges ? If yes maybe the ink used isn't compatible with Brother. In the printer properties you find maintenance and give a cleaning head. Another solution is to make a black rectangle in paint and print it. Hope to be helpfull.

I just purchased a brother mfc-6490cw and it will not print in black. all other colors look good on the test print. I have installed a new black cartridge and cleaned the print head several times. any...

The following may work: remove all the ink supplies. Remove the printhead and soak it for about 5 minutes in 0.5" of very hot water. Gently blot the printhead on a soft damp paper towel to remove the excess water, then replace in the printer and then reinstall the ink supplies.

My MFC-6490CW won`t power up, black screen.

Hello,

The MFC-6490CW has a 2 year warranty and this model has not been on the market for 2 years yet so your warranty should still be good as long as you don't tel them you opened it up.

Otherwise this sounds like a main board problem.

Thanks,

Pat

Brother MFC-6490CW is not printing black

If it's under warranty you're in luck, you need a new printhead,LK3197001, around $80.00. I just replaced one yesterday in the shop for the same problem. I would call Brother customer service and see if they'll help cover the cost.

Black ink will not print (new out of box).

If cleaning doesn't work you should talk to your retailer or Brothers support. Don't think they can expect you to use up all ink cleaning cartridges when the machine is straight out of the box..
