Not good at all

I bought this toner about a month and a half ago and have printed only around 500 pages, and it’s already showing as empty. This is absolutely ridiculous! A toner should last much longer than this. I feel completely ripped off — what kind of low-quality product are you selling?

You will not get close to 1200

Starter cartridge lasted 785 pages at 4.75% (printing shipping labels 12mos) after hitting continue mode for 3 months. This TN730 has printed 844 pages at 4.43% and has been on continue mode for a couple months. Won’t get many more pages that will be scannable. You can see your output by hitting menu start menu, (see 0) hit up button, go to maintenance 77. It’ll print your report.

Misleading Page Yield

This toner prints NO WHERE near 1200 pages. I barely clear 600 pages before I have to purchase more toner. I must say I am a little disappoint because I have only had my printer two months and I have paid for it TWICE already in toner! At least lower the price or give a better product. I would not recommend this printer.

Stated page yield for the genuine Brother TN-730 cartridge is based on 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. 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. If you feel that you have printed less pages than advertised, our Brother Customer Support Team is available to assist you directly at: www.brother-usa.com/brother-support

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. If you feel that you printed less pages than advertised, feel free to contact Brother Customer Service directly at https://www.brother-usa.com/brother-support

Toner empty after just 532 pages

I purchased a multifunction printer and was surprised to see that after just 532 pages of printing, I was completely out of toner. The TN-730 advertises 1,200 pages per ISO Standards. However, ISO Standards are based on filling up only 5% of the page, which is the equivalent of a short email. So if you are printing anything that covers more than 5% of the page, you will likely get only 40% of the advertised page yield. Also, after a few changes of toner, some printers will require the additional purchase of a drum unit. These facts need to be disclosed to consumers so that they get fair value for money when purchasing your products. It is not fair to consumers to set expectations that will not be met. Treat your customers with respect and give them a decent value for the money they spend purchasing your products.

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.

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.

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.

Reliable workhorse toner

We use the black and white Brother printer for day to day printing for records, receipts and documents. It never fails us—and this toner has produced crisp dark text and designs for over 2 years. No problem in not using the printer for months—when we are busy it is always ready.

Nice cartridge but….

The toner cartridge was easy to load & it worked great, right away. I wish the cost were less expensive. I went to toner instead of ink because I thought it would be. I’d like a recycling label to come in the new toner box. My old toner cartridge is waiting to be recycled because I’m having trouble accessing the paperwork.
