Great Printer Poor Toner Value

The printer is high quality but I as others am not impressed with the toner yield despite the ISO disclaimer. I've printed 494 pages with an 18% yield. Hardly toner heavy. I've purchased a high yield cartridge to give this another try, but this machine may be to expensive to retain with this cost per print.

False Advertising - Thieves

I bought this machine - Brand new and dont think even 300 pages were printed . I'm getting Toner low message. No where near as advertised. I used my inkjet and it lasted almost a year with similar work. This is exactly the same as all other users have complained. I cant believe this is happenning in 2024 . These people should be sued - as a class action !

Horrible...printed 300 pages then ran out of toner

Purchased the MFC-L2750DW printer. After the starter cartridge emptied, I purchased the TN-730. I average about 100 pages a month. After 3 months and 350 pages, it ran out! 1/4th of the 1200 page yield. Do not recommend and next time I have to buy a printer, it won't be Brother.

Yield is far below advertised.

I print the equivalent of 4 lines of text on a page, 12pt font. WAY less than an average full page of text. Starter cartridge (Prints 500 pages!) gave low print warning at 425 pages. If I were printing full pages, I'd have been out long ago. Very disappointing. No better yield than my 15 year old inkjet. What IS the ISO standard printed page? 3 lines?

Hi, We can understand your disappointment with ink yield. The stated page yields for genuine Brother cartridges are based on the ISO 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 (graphics, charts, etc.). Print jobs with large text fonts, graphics, charts, and/or large amount of solid coverage (black or any given color) will use much more toner and will shorten the life of the toner cartridge. Click the link below ISO standards. https://help.brother-usa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/141448

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.

Toner runs out way too quickly

This toner does not yield 1200 pages. No where near. I probably get 500 pages max. The toner is expensive. I am only printing word and pdf documents. I am probably going to get a new printer and just donate this printer to goodwill or just use it for scanning.

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.

Disappointed with print output

Also getting no where near the 1200 pages ... I purchased this on 3/20/2020 and was only able to print out 574 pages. Printer just stopped printing when Replace toner display came up. I am only printing b/w text ,but do a great deal of scanning. Does this affect toner cartridge?.. Granted it is a starter cartridge, but I should get a good deal more volume.Wish Brother would recommend settings for different user types. This is getting very expensive.

Happily Printing

The reason I chose a laser printer this time is that I don't print very often. It works very well and it works when I need it. I had only used inkjet printers before and it was so frustrating to not be able to print because the ink dried out or something was clogged. I tried different brands but they all did that. I'm happy now.

Very Poor Toner Value

I am happy so far with the quality of the printer but I am mortified at how quickly this machine goes through toner. I bought a Brother because my old printer lasted so long and the toner cartridges lasted a long time even though I was using it for work, a couple of weeks at least. I haven't even had this new printer for a week and the toner cartridge is already empty. No warning, it just stopped printing saying low toner. Had I known how pathetic it would be, I would have chosen a different printer or at least ordered a couple of cartridges so I wouldn't be caught without a printer in the middle of my work day. You should be ashamed of yourself. My estimation of Brother quality has taken a very steep nose dive. Don't bother to give the response that you give on every review. You are sounding like a broken record already. I know that every printer manufacturer rips people off when it comes to the ink/toner but this is the worst that I have ever seen. The HP at work, with a number of people using it, including me, will go a month or more between cartridge changes. I got 2.5 days out of this cartridge. I should have gone with one of those printers. A little more up front but the toner savings would have paid for it in no time.

We understand that you are unhappy with the page yield of the Brother TN-730 and we'd like to help. The Brother 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 will shorten the life of the toner cartridge.
