Key Features Explained
-
Separate Drum & Toner System:
-
This is the core economic advantage. In these printers, the toner cartridge (TN-2305) and the drum unit (DR-2305) are separate.
-
The drum unit lasts for about 12,000 pages, while this standard-yield toner lasts for ~1,200 pages.
-
This means you will replace the toner multiple times before needing to replace the more expensive drum, which is more cost-effective than all-in-one cartridges.
-
-
Standard Yield:
-
This is the regular capacity cartridge. For users with higher print volumes, a high-yield TN-680 cartridge (approx. 3,000 pages) is available and is more economical per page.
-
-
Genuine Brother Quality:
-
Using genuine toner ensures optimal print quality, prevents potential printer damage, and avoids issues like toner dust or faint prints.
-
Who is this for?
-
Owners of compatible Brother laser printers (see list below) whose black toner is low or empty.
-
Users with moderate print volumes or those who want to avoid the higher upfront cost of the high-yield cartridge.
