I've never had any trouble with this Brother cartridge. I use my Brother laser printer frequently from my home office and have found the toner life to be pretty good. That depends on how frequently you print obviously. I print lots of pages on a daily basis and the shelf life is better than other cartridges I've used before. Quality printing, very easy to replace and no mess involved.

This is the 'starter' (yeah I know technically not labeled as such to get around the laws) cartridge! Get the full sized 580. This 550 has one special gear in its mechinism that will shut itself down, permanently. The 580 has a 'full' to empty gear. (low toner, empty)

    Comments about Brother TN-550 Black Toner Cartridge:

    I have used this product for the last 5 years. The piece of equipment I buy the Toner for is networked to several offices so it is used a lot. I love the easy replacement of the cartridge and the fact that it does not spill out toner everywhere, especially when it usually needs changing on a day that I have on light colored clothing. No worries. I think the expense is worth it and I would highly recommend this product if someone were to ask my opinion. I sincerely hope you have received high remarks from many satisfied customers who use the TN550 Toner.

    If you have one of the old Brother HL-5240 printers they just never stop ... as long as you keep them in toner. Still going strong after four years of hard work.

      I have been using my Brother HL-5250DN Printer for 8 years and have not had any problems with it at all. The toner replacement is not complicated and the printer is truly what I call a "work horse".

      Comments about Brother TN-550 Black Toner Cartridge:

      The fact that it only takes seconds to remove and install a new cartridge is great. The first time I had to change the toner was during an afternoon service. I aquired a new cartridge but was afraid that it would take way too long to load and continue with printing that was in progress. To my surprise it was as easy as pressing and lifting out the old cartridge to removing the wrapper and attachments and popping in the new cartridge. I was able to continue with the copying and complete my project right on time!

      • Q:

        WE have a Brother MFC8870dw all in one copier. What is the difference between a drum cartridge and a toner cartridge?
        Asked on 10/16/2010 by KAZ

        • CUSTOMER CARE

          A:

          A toner cartridge is the powdered ink. The drum cartridge is what is used when the toner is fused to the paper. A drum cartridge only needs to be replaced about every 7-8 times you replace the toner.

        • VERIFIED BUYER

          A:

          The toner contains the laser "ink". The drum contains the heating and fixing component to bond the "ink" to the paper. The toner needs to be replaced more frequently.
