There is another item on here that is genuine brother toner 5-pack, for less cost than this. Has anyone bought that and know how they compare? Maybe that one has less and this more? Or are they exactly the same? Anyone know? thanks!

Watch what you buy. There is only one Black toner, but for the colors, there are two each - a Standard and a High Yield. You'll get a lot less prints with the Standard toners...

I used to have an Epson and now have a Brother and the ink does seem to be a little less expensive for the Brother printer. Even though it suggests you use genuine Brother ink I buy off brand compatible cartridges that are a fraction of the cost and do just a good of a job.

FX9-10 at inkjetsuperstore works and it's priced around 31.00 US ~ I normally stay away from generic/3rd party toner because of the lack of quality. I ordered a case of these (3), and found the yield to be less than 2000 pages, and I had some blasting and buildup after I had finished using the 3 carts. For large print jobs (450+), I use my old HpLaser Jet , it's cheaper per page.

The one that I got was actual Brother, and it was not a refurb Brother. I cannot tell from looking at this question if you are ordering the same thing from the same vendor that I did.

thanks for the quick response. could you post the link of where to learn about taping the cartridges or suggest what to google. My lexmark requires a computer chip to be replaced to refill the toner. Each chip is $20 which bumps up the refill cost to close to $250. That's almost what I paid for it. I love my old Brother B&W; MFC and have had good luck with it. So I'm looking to combine the Lexmark and old brother MFC. I'm almost sold on this unit. Just don't want to end up in the same situation as my lexmark. thanks again & enjoy the new printer!

Yes it is I have had excellent luck with all cartridges purchased from here! They lasted longer and I had no issues with toner leakage into the printer like some do. VERY SATISFIED!

any of the black box toners(color of the box) should be fine. I am seeing a lot of people showing pictures of the black box's but sending the blue colored ones which are pretty old, I would not recommend using.

There really aren't that many things to check on these machines. Make sure "the wire" is clean; don't use "compatible" non-Brother toner cartridges; check the "drum life" indicator under "machine info" on the soft key menu(s). The drum and toner cartridges work together. If you've exceeded the drum's rated lifespan, it won't matter how new/full your toner cartridge is. It's time to replace the drum.

Dear Flashback... I do not know for sure, and I threw away all the paper work, but I believe if you keep the toner in the sealed package it will probably last a long time. You could probably go to the Brother website and ask their technical consultant.

I have always used the original Samsung manufactured Toner Cartridge. There are cheaper generic brands one can purchase, but I just don't want to take chances with an "unknown" cheaper brand - it could mess up my printer, produce bad copies, and who knows what other problems could arise. My advice is use the original Samsung MLT-D105L toner Cartridges - they are expensive but I've never had any problems with my printer nor the quality of the printed item since 2011 when I purchased my Samsung printer which works perfectly after heavy duty daily printing for 4 years.

The cartridges that i received were actual brother cartridges. I thought they would be a knock off also. They have worked without error as long as i have had them.

I bought mine back in Oct. 2013, it's been working great for 7 months now. I used to buy the original Brother toner which was almost $100.00, this one is a 'Brother TN350 compatible toner cartridge', I take it as a generic brand but is compatible to Brother TN350. Before you install the cartridge, make sure you shake it several times, shake it left and right plus up and down. These toner cartridges use dry powder ink, it may settle to one side during the shipping. Good luck!

This is my opinion only. When it comes to supplies for something I depend on I use the manufacturer's labels. I've never used the aftermarket ones. In my Brother laser I use just Brother toner. In my Canon laser I opted to use the lesser cost aftermarket toner but haven't formed an opinion on that yet.

The generic cartridges work fine if you can get the Linkyo branded ones for around $14.99 when they're on sale. Why take a chance to save a few bucks? The genuine Brother toner costs triple the price of the generic one ($45+). Plenty of people around the net have used the Linkyo with great success rate. I'd go for that one.

That is the same printer I have. It makes nice copies, but I am assuming because it is not a "brother" cartridge it says my toner is low - which it is not. For the price you cannot beat it.

What I received was an original Brother set of toners. They were not refilled. The price was dramatically cheaper than retail. Actually, it was cheaper than the local refilled toner cartridges.

I installed the same toner cartridge just a few days ago, and I get exactly the same problem! (My printer is a Brother HL-2270DW) Unfortunately, I've been too busy with other things to follow up on it yet--or return the cartridge as defective. Hope someone else has an answer for us both!
