How to Save More on Brother Toner
Three habits cut Brother toner costs further: always choose high yield, buy 2-packs for your busiest printer, and replace the drum on schedule so you never waste a fresh cartridge on a worn drum.
1. Always choose high yield
Brother’s high-yield cartridges hold more toner for a small price increase. The TN760 prints 3,000 pages against 1,200 for the standard TN730, in the same printer. Unless you print a few pages a week, high yield always wins on cost per page.
2. Buy a 2-pack for your busiest printer
A 2-pack keeps a spare on the shelf, so a “Toner Low” message never stops work. It also means one order instead of two.
- TN660 2-pack: C$77.95, about C$39 per cartridge
- TN450 2-pack: C$75.90, about C$38 per cartridge
3. Replace the drum on schedule
Most Brother mono printers use a separate drum unit that outlasts several toner cartridges. A worn drum causes spots, lines and faded pages, even with new toner. When the printer shows “Replace Drum”, order the matching drum with your next toner.
