TN730 Cartridge

Bought the Brother HL-L230DW on the advise of a friend and so far the printer has been great. What is not great is the TN730 cartridge...just started getting a Low Toner warning but according to the page counter on the printer I've only printed 153 pages yet the specs say that I should get 2000 pages. Even if I got 1000 pages I'd feel pretty good about the cartridge but 153 pages is just stupid...I might as well kept my inkjet printer at that rate. C'mon Brother...you can do better than this.

We understand that you are unhappy with the page yield of the Brother TN-730 toner cartridge and we'd like to help. The TN-730 toner cartridge yields approximately 1,200 pages based on the ISO/IEC 19752 testing standards. The number of pages that can be printed with a cartridge is affected by several factors, including paper size, number of pages per print job, amount of print on each page, font size, and print content. Print jobs with large text fonts, graphics, charts, and/or large amount of solid coverage will use much more toner and, naturally, will shorten the life of the toner cartridge. If you feel that you have printed less pages than advertised, feel free to contact Brother Customer Service directly at https://www.brother-usa.com/support

Not reliable

This cartridge came with the printer from the store. Paperwork claims it can print 1,200 pages. 30 pages in, an alert came through that the toner was low. I ignored this and went for about 10 more pages, then the printer stopped, with an alert that the toner was out. I did an override on this, knowing that was nonsense. The print quality diminished, so I went into the settings and turned off eco mode, made sure it was set to print text, and set it at 600 dpi. I am mostly printing text, after all. I've gotten maybe 300 pages through it, but the quality is so poor and the printer status still says that it is out of toner.

I’m sorry to hear that you did not get the toner yeild as expected with the Brother Printer. I apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused you. Please be advised the Brother Printers when first purcahse they come with a Starter Toner that yeild approx. 700 pages. Genuine Brother toner cartridges are produced with a specific amount of toner to yield the following: TN Starter Toner - approx. 700 pages TN730 Standard Toner - approx. 1,200 pages* TN760 High Yield Toner - approx. 3,000 pages* TN770 Super High Yield Toner - approx. 4,500 pages* *The approximate toner yield is in accordance with ISO/IEC 19752. The number of pages that can be printed with a toner cartridge is affected by several factors, including paper size, number of pages per print job, amount of print on each page, font size, and print content (graphics, charts, etc.). It's important to remember that a typical printed document is one letter-size (8.5" x 11") page with 4% - 5% print coverage. Below is an answer link with more information on Toner yield not as expected.

L2395DW Printer Disappointment

I am very disillusioned with this L2395DW printer experience that requires such expensive accessories. I agree with other one-star reviews here---disappointment. I had an HP ink cartridge color printer prior to this one, and I am going to invest in another HP and stop using this Brother, which I only purchased five months ago on 10/02/19. I'll be bankrupt buying accessories for the print capacity this printer has. HP printers are much more reliable and affordable.

Disappointing performance!

We have been using the same Brother printer for several years and have no issues with the machine's performance. We normally use the TN-760 cartridges. This time we ordered a TN730. It has been installed for 9 days and is already giving a low toner indication. We understand that how much toner is used per page determines how many pages it will print, but this is unacceptable for the amount of money charged. There's not near enough toner in the cartridge to justify the cost.

poor performance

Both TN 730 and TN 760 don't yield the expected number of pages printed. they probably give you 50% of what Brother claims. I always print with toner saving features and in Draft format or 300dpi. it is a good product but do not expect those many pages.

Great printer. Toner will not last what's quoted.

My printer didn't make it to 400 pages. I printed A4 and Letter documents and almost no graphics or images. Most of the time I set the printer to its lowest dpi setting. Great printer, but halve the promised/expected number of printed pages per cartridge.

Does not print 1200 pages

I was so excited when I bought my TN 730 because I thought I would be able to print 1200 pages. It printed less than half that amount. I could use the money I spent buying toner to buy another printer. I believe that the company should stop telling us how many pages we can print with the toner.

Hi, We are sorry to hear the ink did not last as expected. The stated page yields for genuine Brother cartridges are based on the ISO testing standards.

False advertisement in Print pages

I purchased several 730 cartridges and found that I don't get the amount of print pages as advertized for 1200 pages. I am short of 900 when I get a message that my toner is low. Therefore I am unable to continue to use printer until I purchanse another one.

Worked briefly. Then stopped early in toner life

This toner worked for a while. Then we got a printer jam. I removed the cartridge while fixing the jam. When I put it back in, the printer stopped working saying that the cartridge isn't a legitimate Brother toner cartridge. I bought it new and it is in fact from Brother. It's just really frustrating.

Metal frame change out

This cartridge is real easy to change. However, and it is a big HOWEVER, there is a metal frame that comes off of the OLD cartridge and gets attached to the NEW cartridge. So, don't throw away the entire piece. (It took me about 20 minutes to figure out why the NEW cartridge was not printing/fitting.
