Terrible

Purchased the Brother MFC-L3710CW for a small office and it has been nothing but horrendous. Within months the ink supplies were depleting rapidly and the printing is horrific. Our invoices are barely visible to customers and there is a constant issue with this machine. Definitely do not recommend for business.

I get maybe a few hundred prints

I purchased two of these printers for my office and I’ve had to replace these toner cartridges after a few hundred prints at most. I think it’s too convenient that brother claims up to* 2,300 prints when in regular use we’re averaging 20% of what’s claimed. I bought these printers hoping to save money in the long term and may now have to replace them.

reply from Brother Customer Service.

We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with the toner yield. Stated page yields for genuine Brother cartridges are based on the ISO testing standards. Third-party cartridges sold as “compatible” for Brother printers may not strictly adhere to the ISO Standard to determine their advertised page yields, therefore they may not be comparable to Brother Genuine cartridges. 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. Please verify you have purchased a new Brother Genuine cartridge by following the steps on this website: https://www.brother-usa.com/supplies/ink-and-toner/security If you have any questions about your Genuine cartridge, please contact Brother customer service at www.brother-usa.com/support.

Smudging all over

After printing only 5 sheets with a brand new L:3290CDW, the back toner started to smudge across the entire sheet. The brand new printer and the genuine Brother supplies. It looks like a total waste of money. Brother should fix that problem free of charge.

Terrible Toner!

My Brother laser printer worked great until the first time that I had to replace the toner. I bought this Brother-brand toner and it was a disaster. It left smears on the papers from day one and only got worse over time. This was a huge waste of money.

Dry toner that Brother will not stand behind

New toner doesn’t work and Brother will only guarantee for 90 days past purchase date.

Excellent

We have used these high yield ink cartridges and find they are very good compared to other products we have used in the past, I recommend them highly.

Insures Perfect Quality

Easy to use and produces great quality. Just wish that those of us on the recycling program would get discounts on the cartridges.

Runs out of ink faster than older printer TN580

The Toner TN-227K Black High Yield runs out of ink fast. The older printer with TN-580 Toner last much longer.

We understand that you are unhappy with your purchase of the TN-227BK toner cartridge and we'd like to help. The TN-227BK toner cartridge yields 3,000 pages in accordance with the testing protocol call ISO/IEC 19798 (Letter). 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.

Rethink this

This doesn't yield 3000 prints. 500 at most is what it will print
