Brother TN360 High Yield Black Toner Cartridge
by Brother
The main purpose of my review is just to confirm that I did order this exact item from Amazon and it was a genuine OEM high yield Brother TN-360 cartridge. At the time of this writing Amazon has one of the best prices on this OEM cartridge and the free shipping is nice too.
As others have said, cover up the clear plastic window with some black tape when your toner out light comes on prematurely, which it will. On my first cartridge I got the toner out light after a few months, kept printing anyway for a little while then the printer refused to print at all. I discovered the trick with the tape and put it on, then printed out another two reams of paper (over 1000 sheets) for another whole YEAR. And that was with the "starter" cartridge that came with the printer! I printed out twice as many sheets after the toner out light came on than before it came on.
Pretty cheap trick by Brother, but at least there is a workaround....
I also found that life can be extended a bit more when the plot quality starts to get a little spotty/fuzzy near the end of the cartridge's life by taking the cartridge and the drum outside, separating them and shooting the crud off both with some compressed air. When I do this outside with the air it doesn't make a mess.
