Great Cyan toner, it completely met expectations! Easy to set up, perfectly compatible, and it works really well! It lasts a very long time so I’d definitely recommend.

Printer and ink are a horrible buy!
Bought this Brother printer with rave reviews. Ink toner is supposed to last up to 5000 pages, but that's huge lie! I am changing ink cartridges twice a month and I don't even print close to 5000 pages! And this stuff is not cheap! Total rip off!!

it’s a solid investment.
The packaging is super secure—everything was sealed tight so there’s zero chance of a blue mess in your office. Popping it into the printer was a total breeze; it just clicks right in without any "non-genuine" error messages popping up.
The real difference is in the texture change of the prints. My old off-brand toner used to leave a weird, chalky dust on the paper, but...

I just swapped out my old ink for this Brother Genuine TN229XLM Magenta Toner, and the difference is huge. The packaging is solid and everything arrived perfectly sealed, so no leaks to worry about. Installation took like two seconds—it just clicks right in.

I finally stopped messing around with generic brands and went back to this Brother Genuine TN229XLY High Yield Yellow Toner. The packaging is super secure, and installation was a breeze—no messy leaks or "non-genuine" error messages.

It's always best to use the premium product that was made for your printer. In this picture, you can see the name tags I made for my class were printed super well thanks to the ink.

Got this nicely packaged in a box and finally installed it. It was super easy to use and so far the ink is looking great! Looking forward to this lasting a long time through tax season

I received this tech accessory free from Influenster and Brother in exchange for my honest review

The Brother TN229XLBK High Yield Black Toner Cartridge is what I trust with my Brother printer! I know that it will have even more printer pages than normal and the prints I’ve made with it so far are super black and crisp!

Great Customer Service from the Store Manager.
A few weeks ago, a coupon on my Staples app was not working. I contacted Staples website to let them know. I received an email from the store manager that the next time I came in, he would honor it. He did and I am thankful.

Retour de cartouches d'encre
Pas possible de retourner d'anciennes cartouches alors que j'ai acheté une nouvelle imprimante chez Bureau en Gros selon un commis de Bureau en Gros - Lebourgneuf. Ce sont 3 cartouches à 125 $ chacune (TN-210-BK / TN-210-C / TN-210-M).

Ink/Toner's a racket but...
We all know ink and toner prices are a racket by the big brands; but I don't mind giving Staples the spend when they often offer some hefty deals on a variety of rotating products.... On this one I paid full price but I recommend you JOIN to save Big sometimes

Color combo is good for printing
The color combo provides all the vivid coloring you might need for graphics. Easy to install and maintain. I use these for work as an educator, I print graphics daily in color and black and white.

Beautiful color
The magenta ink is bright and dries down quickly, easy to insert into the printer itself and is very good quality. Printers are important to me as I print things daily as a teacher that are color printed graphics etc.

Great black cartridge.
This is a great black ink cartridge, the paper is dry by the time it comes out of the printer, no bleeding. Graphics quality is great and easy to replace. I use this printer very frequently as an educator and so quality printers are important
to me.
