BROTHERTN3170 Toner Cartridge - Black

I use these for the printers at our busy GP surgery and we probably get though over 50 per year (25,000 patients and 18 GP's, 7 Nurses etc). We have tried the generic laser cartridges but for volume printing they invariably cause us problems and despite the costs, we now use Brother products only. I think that we have tried every alternative producer of toners, however, if you print off 00's of documents per day, the costs in time for staff to sort out issues with the printers, leaking toner etc render the higher costs insignificant. I do purchase cheap gerneric products for my home laser, but for where volume and quality are an issue, you cannot beat purchasing from the manufacturer.

Having used printers since they 1st got linked to PCs I have settled on Brother as the guys who produce the printers I like the most. I use the genuine cartridges, as even when I've used really good Toner on a refill, it wasn't worth the hassle. I like the fact the Toners turn up quick, as I do a lot of printing & the "warning light" means I need a cartridge within a couple of days.

Not a lot to say really, not surprisingly it fitted my Brother Printer (HL5250DN) perfectly and works well. The box includes a free return label for your old cartridge so that it can be recycled.

I just simply replaced the new toner with the toner in my trusty Brother HL-5250DN, which I think has a few more years left in it yet; message out-of-toner dialog has gone away now and it prints well again. I decided not to take the risk with the `compatibles'; so far so good.

Genuine item , may seem to be rather expensive , but lasts agesso actually good value imho

Does what it says on the box. always best to buy the original, tried re fill cartridges, never as good or last as long.

Tried the refills - this is a different level of print quality and capacity. Good value compared to the major retailers.

What to say... it arrived, it fits, it works :)
