Yes there's cheaper 'compatible' cartridges at Inkstation. Reviews on OzBargain for compatible cartridges seem to be hit and miss. If you only want cheap, use a compatible cartridge or refill it yourself. If you want to play it safe, this is a pretty good deal.

    WHat would be the advanatge of this over something like a generic toner off eBay?

    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Compatible-TN-2450-Black-Toner-F…

    I've always bought these and had no problems with them

    • overkillxx on 07/10/2020 - 09:32

      Ditto. Maybe Genuine lasts longer? But from my experience even if they did last a little longer its still not worth the price difference for sure

    • ultramic on 07/10/2020 - 09:49

      I compared the output of a $10 eBay toner with a genuine toner and I couldn't see any obvious differences. In fact the generic toner was slightly blacker even though the genuine toner was still at 70% capacity.

      No advantage. The mark up on ink is would make Apple blush.

      Its the Razor and blades business model.

      Thanks for the ebay link. Bought 4 for less than 1 of these original toner cartridge.

  • Hithere on 07/10/2020 - 09:35

    I've purchased generic toners from eBay for years for my Brother and Samsung lasers and had no problems, and they cost a fraction of this price.

    Meh - ink at nearly as much as the printer itself? No thanks - will stick with the generic ink station / ebay ones - works out cheaper in the end even if you end up buying a new printer instead of ink.

  • daunce on 07/10/2020 - 09:45

    Yeah it seems to be hit and miss for some using compatible toner from eBay.

    Other people have posted their experiences:

    Once products I own go past their warranty I tend to go with cheaper third party consumables too.

      Technically, under Australian Consumer Law a manufacturer cannot refuse to honour a warranty claim simply because you've been using non-genuine cartridges. What they can do, however, is claim the problem you're reporting to be the fault of the non-genuine consumable and insist you try a genuine one first to see if that resolves it. It's easy to work around this, though. Replace your genuine cartridge before it's completely exhausted and keep it handy (for ink, store it in a sealed plastic bag, preferably doubled, to prevent it drying out), and if you experience any trouble in the warranty period just swap out the non-genuine for the original genuine before reporting it for service.

  • herbo on 07/10/2020 - 10:03

    Slightly off topic, but can anyone recommend reputable sellers for generic toners? I have the Brother HL-L3270CDW. Getting low on black toner.

      I've purchased refill toner from TonerStop in the past and found them good to deal with. They also do compatible cartridges if you prefer, but refilling yourself is heaps cheaper and slightly more environmentally friendly.

      • Kammi on 07/10/2020 - 16:57

        Can you pls post some information of diy, like what to look out for, what to avoid, goes wrong etc

        • Chazzozz on 07/10/2020 - 21:50

          Some toners are easy and straightforward to refill, others can be more difficult. I'd suggest ensuring you search for video tutorials and watch them a couple of times, and carefully read through any instructions that come with the toner (more than once). The thing to keep in mind is they go to a lot of trouble to make it a simple process that even a non-technical person can do it.

          The worst that can happen is spilling toner everywhere or stuffing up reassembly of a cartridge so its unusable. If you do spill, be careful not to breathe it in and don't use a household vacuum, it's better to sweep up toner, wrap it in newspaper, and put it in the bin; toner particles are extremely small and can go straight through a normal vacuum's filter. Wipe your surface over with a damp paper towel and dispose of that. If you need to wash your hands or clothing, use cold water - remember, toner is fused to paper with heat, so hot water has the potential to make it permanent. As for reassembly, as long as you follow instructions carefully there's little chance of getting it wrong, and with every toner I've ever done it was easy to back up and try again.

          Some things to keep in mind are:

          • Give yourself plenty of space and light so it's easier to work.
          • Put newspaper or a sheet down to catch any chance of spillage. Don't work on a surface that's over carpet.
          • Avoid inhaling the toner or getting it in your eyes; if you want to be extra careful, wear a mask and protective eyewear.
          • When resealing a filler hole, stick some tape over the plug to ensure it stays put.
          • It may be tempting to fill with as much toner as you can fit in, but it is possible to over-fill. It's better to put less in and have to top up later rather than end up with a tonersplosion inside your printer.
          • Read the instructions and proceed carefully through each step, don't try to rush.

          Hopefully that answers your question.

    Aussie Toner on eBay is my go to. Express post if free as well.

    I find that the Genuine Brother stuff provides better quality for longer.

    I've been through a few brother MFC's in my time and my first two I bought exclusively brother toner. The prints on the last day were as good as the first day I bought them.

    My recent MFC's ive used the knock off toner and I always end up having drum smearing issues.I dunno what it is but it always eventually ends up smearing artifacts over the page (usually one of the colours).

    I still think its worth getting the knock-off because quality isnt that important anymore (kids worksheets etc) with online submission of work/assignments.

    With a bit of cleaning you can normally get rid of the marks but ultimately I think it's the toner being used being too "powdery" and hence gets to places where it shouldn't be.

    For completeness here is an example (exaggerated but you get the idea)

    Most of the time its usually down one side.

    edit: I normally buy from Aussie Toner as suggested by the post above me

    Just a reminder that many Brother printers can reset cartridges with the inbuilt service menu.

    These instructions are for my model, and work with similar models.
    https://www.precisionroller.com/instructions/brother-mfc-934…

    Google / Youtube search your model number to try for similar.

    Had to open the printer twice as the keypad didn't blank the first time, otherwise this worked fine.

    Last did this @ 742 pages counted on the black toner (starter cartridge).
    Printer stopped and refused to finish the print job it was in the middle of.
    No streaks or missing image, not terribly impressed, i naively bought a laser printer based on past knowledge that they were not 'page counters' when it comes to calculating toner used.
    So my bad.

    Anyway since the reset 1246 pages total through the printer, so 504 pages past 'empty' and no sign of trouble.
