Brother TN460 High Yield Toner Cartridge

Up to 6000 Page average output for Brother MFC-8300 / MFC-8600 / HL-1240 / HL-1250

The Brother TN460 replacement toner drum works with popular Brother printers, fax machines, and multifunctions, including HL-1240/1250/1270N, FAX-4750/5750, and MFC8300/8500/8600/8700/P2500 series. It ensures quality printing on a variety of papers and stocks and yields approximately 6,000 pages. The Brother TN460 also works well with combination laser and LED copy/scan printers.

I always purchase Brother manufactured ink. It may cost a little more than the no-name brand, but you never have ANY problems with it!

When I ordered a Brother 7820N one of the other things offered was this toner cartridge. But it does not fit into this printer. I am not a happy customer.

I own a Brother HL-1440 laser printer that I purchased in January 2002. I don't know exactly how many pages I print each month, but it's not a lot - probably 200 or less, on average. The cartridge that came with the printer lasted about a year. In the 5.5 years since then, I've gone through 3 of the TN460 cartridges - about one every 22 months. By my reckoning, that's about 4000 pages, not 6000. Print quality is excellent during the first half or 2/3 of the cartridge's lifespan, but deteriorates noticeably after that. Toward the end, every page is coated with a faint film of toner. Overall, I am not impressed with these cartridges.

My HL-1440 laser printer has been blinking telling me the toner cartridge is low. I kept thinking "this is suppose to yield 6000 pages and I haven't printed that many pages". I don't print a lot (home use) and kept thinking I only changed the cartridge no more than 2 years ago. Well, thanks to Amazon. They kept track of everything you buy from them. I actually went back and found out I bought the cartridge in Apr. 2004 (though I didn't install it right away). Also found out its now $7 more than the last time I bought it which isn't bad since its been 3+ years. I checked Brother's support FAQ's and found out how to pull up my page counter and saw 8847 pages. Its reaching 9000 pages which is why the TN460 is blinking low toner. (3000 pages for the initial TN430 and 6000 for this cartridge). Reliable printer (no problems whatsoever) and toner cartridge that does last as long at they say.

I WAS WELL PLEASED WITH THE SUPPLIES--THE CARTRIDGE WAS LESS EXPENSIVE THAN THE RETAIL STORES
