Where to Shop for Low Priced Brother TN115 Laser Toner Cartridges

Howdy shoppers, we know you always want to get huge savings when shopping online. But it’s really time consuming when you need to check and roam around the internet looking for a retailer that can give the greatest value for your money. Isn't it convenient if instead of you doing the job, we’ll do it for you instead? It sure is a roar of yes coming from you all.

However, we’re not a general store that can give you information on almost all kinds of products and necessities. We particularly cover supplies and replacements for inkjet and laser printers, or generally anything from the print industry. If you’re a frequent visitor of this page our target market would seem pretty obvious based from our recent posts.

Well for now, we’ll give you a short list of online retailers that offer Brother TN155 color toner cartridges at decent and lower prices. These are the most highly competitive sites that we've found, not to mention Google listed them in the first page of our search result. Anyway, we've compared a few in terms of price, shipping and availability so you’ll surely get nice options. See them below:

Note: We’ll indicate if it’s genuine or not, so as to avoid confusions.

Manufacturer	Price	Condition
Staples	$101.99(Black) / $142.99 (Color)	Original
Amazon	Range $67.45 - $102.49	Remanufactured
Costco	$69.89(Black ) / $98.89 (Color)	Remanufactured
OfficeDepot	$101.99(Black) / $142.99 (Color)	Original
BestBuy	$70.99 (Black) / $97.99 (Color)	Original
BrotherMall	$102.49 (Black)	Original

Those listed online retailers are also recommended by Brother. If you try to check the availability of these supplies in their main product page, there’s a blue button that is labeled with “Buy Online”. Clicking the button will redirect you to a pop up page that gives a list of sites where you can get the replacements you need, particularly the Brother TN115 laser toner cartridges, or even the imaging drum unit.

You see, remanufactured replacements are way cheaper than genuine supplies, and that’s one of the good reasons why many have switched to using them. Unless you can still cope with the increasing market prices of branded cartridges from well-known manufacturers, then you don’t have to consider using the alternatives.

Brother MFC-9320CW Multifunction Laser Printer Features and Specifications

Multifunction printers or also known as AIOs aren’t expected to have all it functions and features highlighted. Mostly, one can only emphasize a single feature or two, but surely not all. The Brother MFC-9320CW is just like its predecessor, it only focuses on a trait where it could possibly stand out among the competition, and that is in terms of speed.

Does a printer’s engine speed greatly affect your decision when choosing a printer? Then a color MFP like the MFC-9320CW could be the one you’re looking for. From the class or series where it came from, it was the unit that breaks the record of PCMag’s print test from the year it was released. One factor we might consider is that it is an LED printer which distinct itself from laser types.

Its natural home can either be in a small office or a micro home office with considerably low-volume printing needs. Knowing that it can only handle up to 250 sheets of legal/letter size paper, it’s indeed a small-sized printer for light-duty needs. No duplexer or additional supporting trays for extra capacity. This level is only considerable for home offices as a personal unit although it’s relatively large for such role well at least it can still sit on a desk space.

Second best to its notable speed is its wireless capability which lets users scan and fax over a network. The MFC-9320CW is a multifunction printer yet it can also work as a standalone copier or as a fax machine. Useful features include a 35-page automatic document feeder (ADF) for multi-page documents. Since the flatbed only fits for letter-size and legal-size pages, the ADF will have to handle the rest.

Output quality is somewhere near to impressive results. Text and graphics are both pleasing even for business purposes. Photo quality is impressive thanks to its reliable consumables such as the Brother TN210 toner cartridges which work with four DR210CL imaging drum units.

Setting it up is plain and easy, by the way aside from the Ethernet and WiFi interfaces that you’ll surely find more efficient to use, the Brother MFC-9320CW also comes with a USB port and host. It’ll give you options to connect either via wired or wireless depending on your choice.

Brother MFC-9130CW LED Color Laser Printer: Features and Specifications

It’s in mid year of 2013 when a new range of LED-based multifunction printers from Brother was introduced. One of them is the Brother MFC-9130CW that offers color LED printing technology and wireless connectivity. It is unusual though that its manufacturer removed the duplexing functionality as it could have been an added edge for it.

Talking about duplex printing, its competitor which is the MFC-9330CDW almost offers the same bundle of features and capabilities, yet it still managed to offer a duplexer. Should we mention these two are tagged with the same price? If you unluckily purchased the MFC-9130CW without knowing it doesn’t support such feature, you can still print two-sided documents though. However, manually you have to feed the paper side by side, one page at a time.

Its two-toned shade of white and gray is typical or perhaps a trademark of Brother’s MFC series. A 3.7-inch color touchscreen LCD display adds a little high-end look on its swept-back panel. Another special about its control panel is the keypad which only lit up when the user press or use Fax functionality. So when no one’s using the unit as a standalone fax machine, the only visible buttons are Start and Stop.

Instead of laser lights, LED printers use a different source which is one of the factors why most of these types of units are generally smaller in sizes compared to laserjet. But still, they require similar supplies in order to work, these include Brother TN221 laser toner cartridges and imaging drum units.

Paper capacity is short at a maximum of 250-sheets via the standard input tray. An automatic document feeder would be a great help, but in place of it they simply included a one-page manual feed slot.

The Brother MFC-9130CW can be connected to a host computer via USB cable, Ethernet network or WiFi. Such options would be enough to accommodate your printing preferences, whether you want wired or wireless. Wi-Fi direct is supported which lets users print directly through their WiFi-enabled devices to the printer without the presence of a network. Some other apps you may consider include Apple AirPrint, Brother iPrint&Scan, Google Cloud Print and Cortado WorkPlace.

We want to mention its printing speed at this part so you won’t be disappointed earlier. Kidding aside, its manufacturer rated it at 19 pages per minute (mono and color), and that’s not considerable for an LED type printer that comes with high-end features. Output quality isn’t that much impressive according to a review conducted by PCMag. Overall the Brother MFC-9130CW is just an average color laser printer.

When to Replace the Brother DR510 Drum Unit and TN540 Toner Cartridge

The question of when to replace the drum or toner of your printer can be answered simply by looking at the error message that appears on the screen of your machine. But what if it doesn’t feature an LCD and you will just have to rely on the indicator lights.

There are factors that even without the low toner warning from the screen, you may determine that soon you will have to get a new replacement. For example, the qualities of printouts you get from it are a bit unpleasant or rather unacceptable. It is one possible sign that the cartridge is running of toners which means soon you need a new one to replace it.

Also, if you’re aware of the page capacity of your supplies and you can roughly estimate the amount of printed pages you already got from it, then it would be easier to anticipate when to get a replacement. The same thing applies with the imaging drum unit, although it is capable of delivering higher page yields, sooner or later you will still need to replace it. Refer on the information below to give you a hint about what we’re trying to say.

• DR510 Drum Unit – Page Capacity up to 20,000 pages
• TN540 Toner Cartridge – Page Capacity up to 3,500 pages
• TN570 Toner Cartridge – Page Capacity up to 6,700 pages

If you noticed we provided two toners, one of them is a standard-yield which is the TN540 while the other one is of course the high-yield. Both work with the Brother DR510 drum so you don’t have to be concern about the model number.

What we’re trying to point here is the page capacity of each component. If you use the TN540 with the DR510, you will have to replace the drum after you have replaced the toner for like five times or less. How did we determine? Just look at their page yields (20,000 divide by 3,500) and you’ll get the answer. Well of course it would be different if you’re using the high-yield, but we certainly hope that you get our point.

Now with this method that we told you, at least preparing yourself before the printer prompts you with a low toner error wouldn’t be that surprising at all. It’s also a good thing to always keep some spare of toners and drums just in case there are unexpected failures that caused either of your current supplies to become obsolete.

Brother MFC-9460CDN Color Laser Printer with Duplex and Network Features

Let me first build the good qualities of Brother MFC-9460CDN before we go into much detail about its drawbacks. So it has a claimed speed good enough for small businesses plus features mostly intended for office use. It’s not that over compelling in terms of connectivity since it only offers wired network support compared to 9560CDW that comes with wireless feature. But basically this unit can scan, fax and copy, aside from its basic printing capability.

Well based on its manufacturer’s rated print speed for this model, both mono and color printing can reach 25 pages per minute. Of course it’s not that real fast when you actually tried using it, that’s typically a promotional strategy with most manufacturers. Hence, you shouldn't always rely on what’s printed on the packaging.

Likewise with the MFC-9460CDN’s consumable supplies such as toner cartridges and drum units. The page capacity or yield that is indicated on the box only indicates an approximate value. Hence there’s this called “5% coverage” which is typically included next to the page-yield. Indicating that at such percentage, the toners you purchased can last at the specified rating. Well that only applies with toner cartridges, because these are the tanks that hold the powder. While the Brother DR310CL drum units can perform exactly as what they’re expected to deliver. Say, for example the drum has an estimated capacity of 20,000 pages. It’s either you get exactly or even more if the item is at such good condition.

Just by merely looking at its tall height, the MFC-9460CDN can hold a standard plus an additional tray. However it only comes with a 250-sheet input tray which serves as main, and is supplemented by a 50-sheet multipurpose tray. The secondary tray which cost around $249 or less is like a game changer. It can lift the printer from its low-volume category up to large-volume printing, with its 500-sheet capacity.

Controls and interfaces are mid-range for a multifunction color printer designed for small offices and businesses. If only they included a touchscreen LCD into its control panel this one could look more sophisticated than it currently sports. The display which lies at the middle is paired with buttons, keys, numeric keypad, directional arrows and LED indicators on either side.

Additional Features

By the way it is capable of duplex printing via an automatic duplexer. Capable of either PC faxing or work as a standalone fax machine. Its automatic document feeder works for all four functions. Allows printing directly from a USB drive without connecting the printer to a host PC.

What it lacks?

If you will use it mainly for business, its photo quality is a bit arduous, plus it doesn't support memory card slots. As mentioned earlier wireless printing is not available, hence it is limited to wired option yet it can still be connected to a network.

Cartridge Error Prompt After Installing Replacement On Your Brother MFC-8950DW

Unless the cartridge you purchased or installed on your Brother MFC-8950DW printer is not faulty or damaged, “Cartridge Error” can be solved by several ways. In case you just installed a replacement and this error message popped from your printer’s screen, then it’s certain that the item is the root cause of it. Simply remove and replace it with a new one, and probably the problem will disappear. However, if you have tried the said solution and yet from the control panel the same error message still appears. Then you might consider the following recommended steps below.

Refer on the instructions provided below:

Have you tried restarting the unit? If yes, and nothing happens, then proceed on the next steps.

While the unit is ON, open the front door of the printer to remove the cartridges and Brother DR270 drum unit inside. (Do not place your hand inside the unit if you have just printed a document and you haven’t let it cool down for a minute or so. Some surface of the printer might still be hot due to print processing.)

Removing the toner cartridges and laser drum unit will be easy since it’s a procedure that you should be familiar with. Separate the cartridge from the drum by pushing down the green lock at the side of the item.

Check if the toner has damages or problems. Labels and tapes that are left may result to unrecognized cartridge errors, so it’s best to always double-check the item before installing it on your printer. Also do the inspection with the drum units.

Clean the drum unit especially the slot where each toner cartridge sits then re-install the toners back to the drum. Press the cartridge firmly until you hear a ‘click’ sound, which means it’s been lock into place.

Before installing the items back inside the printer, check if there are any materials, broken pieces of components, or paper shreds that might be blocking the memory chip that reads the label tag from the toners. If it’s clear, then insert the items back into the unit by sliding them inside.

Close the front cover firmly and make sure you hear it lock into place. If the replacements particularly the toner cartridges and drum unit were not properly installed, the front door won’t close correctly. Thus, you’ll get another problem with the unit due to the unclosed door.

We hope this solution would fix your problem with your Brother MFC-8950DW.
