Best quality
The cyan high-yield toner ended up being a really good pick. The color prints come out super clean and bright, but not overly harsh — just a nice, smooth blue tone. It installed fast with zero hassle, and I love that it actually lasts because I print a lot of labels and forms. No streaks, no weird lines, just consistent color every time. For the price, it’s dependable a...

Disappointed in my new Laser Jet Brother ink
Would not work in my machine even though it is supposed to. After trying to place it in, it would not initialize so it was returned. I purchased the XL and it worked, but now I have a black line down o e st ide of my paper.

Love the quality
The magenta high-yield toner does its job really well. The color comes out bold and even, without those weird faded spots some cartridges get. Installing it was super simple — clicked right in and worked instantly. I like that it actually lasts a long time, especially since magenta always seems to run out first with color prints. For what it costs, the quality is solid ...

Great toner!
Honestly, this yellow toner surprised me. It’s bright, clean, and prints super crisp without looking streaky. I love that it’s high-yield because I don’t have to replace it every five minutes — it actually lasts. It snaps right into the printer easy, no mess, no drama. For the price, it does exactly what it’s supposed to do and keeps colors looking sharp. Overall, solid...

Long life with the xl
The xl holds up to the bane as it holds an abundant amount of ink. Been using it for about a month and produced high quality prints day after day. Connects easy and straight forward.

Same color long lasting
The color with these are to be expected with the normal size but with an extended shelf life. Been using them for a month now and still producing high quality prints day after day.

I’ve been using the Brother TN229XXLC Super High-Yield Cyan Toner, and it delivers consistently strong results.

Installation is quick, and the toner requires almost no maintenance afterward, it runs smoothly, without smudges or calibration issues. The high-y...

I’ve been using the Brother TN229XXLM Super High-Yield Magenta Toner, and it performs just as impressively as the other colors in this line. The magenta prints come out rich, clean, and very consistent, the shade looks vivid without oversaturation, which really helps when printing photos, graphics, or anything color-sensitive. The toner installs easily and requires almo...

Longest lasting, most dependable
Solid dependable workhorse. For my home office high-use printer, there is nothing more vibrant and reliable. I love how long these cartridges last in my Brother printer, meaning less waste due to less changes. My hands stay clean thanks to the careful packaging. Such a good value, I get soo many pages.
