Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Brother Black Toner Cartridge (TN-350)Customer Review: I Was an Ink Jet Junkie Summary: 5 Stars
For years I was a slave to Ink Jet Printers. When one would die I would dutifully go out and buy another. I would feed them an endless stream of fresh cartridges. They were never satisfied. My last Ink Jet got so surly it refused to acknowledge a fresh cartridge, insisting that it was empty. It was a battle of wills that lasted for days. The printer won.
What to do now? Buy it another cartridge it may or may not reject? Buy another new printer and start the hellish cycle all over again? Or...or try something new?
Ah, yes! Laser Printers!!!
A friend had recommended Laser in the past, but I had balked at the price of the cartridge.
I decided to give it a shot. Heck, it couldn't be any worse the Ink Jets.
Now, after more than a year with my little work horse Brother HL-2040 Monochrome Laser Printer, I am a true believer and convert. These cartridges last forever (well, almost...first one lasted nearly a year! Compared to those little Ink Jet stinkers that is forever!)
So the moral is: Save time, money, and your sanity with Laser Printer Cartridges.
P.S. Even with shipping, Amazon has the best price, too.
Customer Review: TN 350 Toner Cartridge... Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned my Brother MFC Multi-Function printer now for about 3 years and really like it - however I don't think I am getting anywhere close to the 2500 sheets of printed paper out of the toner cartridge as both the boxes they come and the owner's manual says you should.
This is my second cartridge I have purchased already. That would mean I would have printed over 5000 pieces from the printer and don't think it's anywhere near that amount.
Anyway, the main reason I am writing this review is twofold.
#1: Saved $27 by purchasing the toner online from Amazon compared to my local Office Max store. That's even INCLUDING the shipping cost. That is about a 33% savings. That is SIGNIFICANT!
#2. Brother included a return shipping label so you can drop the old toner cartridge back in the new toner cartridge box and drop it in the mail. (Nothing more than simply taping the label on the box - thought that was cool and a great way to recycle.)
Overall, an easy install and very good directions.
Customer Review: Masking Tape Gives TN-350 Toner a Second Life Summary: 5 Stars
I get 800 to 1100 extra copies from each cartridge.
After the "Toner Life End" message appears, it refuses to print even one more copy. Offensive...until you show it who's in charge.
Remove the cartridge and find 2 clear plastic port holes, one on each side. The printer shines a light through these to decide when to shut you off. But it's too sudden and too early.
Cover one or both windows with a small piece of masking tape. You can put the tape on the outer drum unit holes if you prefer. I get about 3400 copies per cartridge instead of 2400.
I really like Brother printers now that I have taught them some manners.
To save even more money try 4 Pack Brother TN-350 TN350 Toner Refill Kit by Laser Tek Services.
Customer Review: Toner life extention Summary: 5 Stars
Responsible people like some of you on a budget don't throw stuff away prematurely. So, as others have suggested, extend the lifespan of your TN-350 cartridges by taping over the clear ports - one on each end for extra copies and to use that precious toner still left in there. White adhesive labels or masking tape works fine. My Brother 2070n printer has worked excellently now for three years and 25,000+ copies using OEM toner (TN-350). The taped port extension method is a lot less messy and healthier than removing the plug and pouring the remaining, dusty toner into another opened cartridge.
But will someone tell us what the downside (other than to cartridge sales) this toner extension trick poses? If the cartridge runs out of toner, is there a risk of printer damage? Or is print quality only degraded temporarily until a new cartridge is inserted?
Customer Review: This is the real deal Summary: 5 Stars
I have a Brother 7020 printer here at home and we have four similar models at the office as well as a Brother fax. This TN350 black toner cartridge works in all of those machines.
I know "remanufactured" cartridges are popular, but I've never been entirely satisfied with them in the past. They don't seem to last as long and the print quality is just not up to my standards. I've had a variety of problems with third-party cartridges. BUT NOT THIS ONE!
Toner cartridges is one item I don't skimp on. This particular piece is a genuine Brother cartridge and every one I've purchased over the last 4 or 5 years has been flawless and absolutely trouble free as well as very long lasting.
And Amazon's price and speedy delivery on these cartridges just can't be beat!
I recommend this item without hesitation.
