Drum Unit Replacement

Purchasing a new toner and drum combo each time will ensure that print quality is consistent throughout your use. However, it may be best for you and your budget to continue using the same drum unit. You can replace the the unit after several uses, once you see that its quality and performance starts to depreciate. This way, you can maximize its value and still get the results that you need.

a. What toner does a Brother printer use?

Brother printers use toner that’s composed of dry powder. It comes in four distinct shades – Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black (CMYK). Combining these shades can also create an extensive range of hues. A mono laser printer uses only black toner while a color machine uses four color toners  to produce full-color printouts.

Toners are also available in standard and high yield options. Standard cartridges have regular toner volumes and thus produce normal amounts of prints. Meanwhile, high yield options like the TN660 contain higher volumes, which means they can generate more pages for every round.

b. How long do Brother toner cartridges last?

It will depend on the machine, the print volumes, and the type of toner being used. High yield cartridges last longer than standard ones and allow you to print more pages before requiring a new replacement.

c. What is the difference between tn630 and tn660?

The TN630 is a standard cartridge, while the TN660 is its high yield version. That means the latter can print more pages (2,600 letter-size pages per ISO standards) than the TN630 (1,200 letter-size pages per ISO standards) per round.

But because the high yield version can produce more prints, it also costs higher  than the standard one. However, the high yield option also has a lower cost of printing per page, which means you’ll ultimately end up saving more in the long run.
