It takes me a long time to go through a toner. what is the shelf life? Will a second one will work as well if it just sits there for a year?

I hope so. I have some toner that will be that old when I try it. If you are not in any extreme humidity or something, I would not worry. It is generally packaged pretty well sealed.

That is a good question; I've not checked the exact amount of time we've previously had a spare toner cartridge on the shelf, but I'm guessing about ~6 months before installing with no problems I can recall. I think as long as it is stored within the recommended temperature range, and in a dry location, it would be ok?

brother won't do anything to help.I had just brought my toner from amazon ,it streaked on the right side of the page. I called brother and they told to mail it back to them and they would send postage(which that did not)they sent back the same one back,I again called them back , they said it was empty and would not replace it .I showed that I just got it and if it was empty that is the way they packed. it they wouldn't do anything about it. so a total loss.

More or less. The initial toner seemed to poop out a bit quickly for me but I've had the replacement for a long time now and printed hundreds of pages without a problem.

It takes me about a year to go through the entire pack. I've had no issue with any of the cartridges drying out.

after a while they do run out of toner. I will take the cartridge out and shake it to get a few more copies from it.

My toner doesn't register low and I have ben using it for a year and have printed a few hundred pages. it last a long time compared to ink cartridges.

Mine is 2 years old and I have filled the toner cartridges several times....I use a local company who specializes in refilling toner cartridges...they find away to refill anything !!!! It might be that the original starter cartridge which lasts a very short time is sealed

As far as I can see there is not,how ever toner as a rule as long as it is contained in a cartridge or a bottle it can lasts for years but if its left open to the air/elements it will not last,again I have not tested this only going by what I have heard and seen over the years working with copy machines that require toner v/s ink.

I agree with the previous comment. I clean my Braun about twice a week, and re-cap the liquid cartridge between cleanings to prevent evaporation. A cartridge will last well over two months this way. It could last even longer, but it changes from bright blue to a dirty gray over time as the shaver debris and hair cuttings build up in the cartridge. It will get to a point where you'll WANT to change to a fresh one.

Use lower print resolution in print setupand simpler fonts. But depending on Number of sheets printed monthly, seems like 6 months of toner life is very good

Sorry, my toner cartridge worked fine. I did have a problem getting thr toner "shell" or adapter bracket off the old toner and onto the new toner. No instructions came in new toner! Did you get this "shell" installed correctly. Worst case , return your cartridge and get another.

Mine started getting streaky at 5,200 pages with 5% toner left. I am sure I could have cleaned, shaken, and gotten a few hundred more pages out but I did not want my print quality to degrade. It has performed flawlessly and for the price I recommend it. Same print quality as factory HP toners.

I am still using the 1st toner and so far i think I have printed about ~1000 pages and it is still going on.

Sorry, I just bought this a few weeks ago, the printer is about 4 years old now. I have been printing daily with this cartridge and wanted to not have to deal with replacing it for a long time.

It comes with a "starter" cartridge which is known to run out after 200-250 pages. You have to buy a normal cartridge very shortly. Original cartridges (2600 pages) are expensive but I had no problem with a compatible third-party one (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0062ZNYFK/, $11). There is also a setting that controls what will happen if toner is low (25% or below): default is stop working, but you can change it to continue working (device settings/remote setup/general setup/replace toner: "continue").

Toner life can be measured in number of prints being as the time it lasts depends on your use. So far I have had mine for 3 months and the original cartridges it came with are still working and the three colors still have 80% left and the black has 60% left. The cartridges it came with is listed to last 1,000 pages each while the OEM cartridges you would buy to replace them is listed to have a life of 2,200 pages for the black and 2,400 pages for the colors each at 5% toner coverage. Hope this helps.

I have not had any issues with the toner. I have not replaced my yellow cartridge yet. Clean copies with all the other colors. I would get it replaced.
