I ordered this toner cartridge listed as High Yield, but I was only able to print 1683 pages. It should print 2600 pages. Was it not really high yield?

Yield is base on 5% of printing page coverage. TN450 is high yield with 2600 pages which compares to TN420 with 1200 pages.

My toner doesn't register low and I have ben using it for a year and have printed a few hundred pages. it last a long time compared to ink cartridges.

I forget the model number of the toner, but it is not the one rated for the larger number of copies. It is the smaller of the Brother cartridges. I went ahead and ordered the later toner but haven't opened it yet. We don't do a ton of printing.

The TN-420 is included with this printer, it's a starter toner cartridge that should last about 700 pages of normal text; it lasted me about 330 pages with heavy graphics. If you print a lot, you should get the TN-450 toner cartridge that should print about 2,900 pages of normal text. By the way, the printer is medium grade printer (of build strength) and I could find very little defects compared to my 5280DW industrial grade printer. It's a five star printer.

Yes, believe it or not, but the toner cartridge is only half the size of the regular full capacity cartridge. I managed to get about 400 pages out of it though. I have bought a full sized cartridge from a cartridge replacement outfit (not Brother) and I expect that one will last me all year, with moderate use. Printing on both sides also saves costs. I got sick of always having to replace cartridges for my colour printer. The laser prints better, and is easier to read.

Sorry, my toner cartridge worked fine. I did have a problem getting thr toner "shell" or adapter bracket off the old toner and onto the new toner. No instructions came in new toner! Did you get this "shell" installed correctly. Worst case , return your cartridge and get another.

Just for clarification, the starter cartridge isn't quite a TN-420--it's just generically labeled "TN" and, as you note, lasts for significantly fewer pages. The TN-420 actually lasts for about 1200 pages, but I don't know why anyone would get that over the TN-450 (2600 pages) unless they are an extremely low-volume user and strapped for cash.Personally, I'm on 880 pages with the starter, primarily text, and still going (but probably not much longer), although it's been complaining about low toner since about page 500.

I would contact the seller and return it. I am still doing really well with mine. Often, when toners like this are produced in high volume, their are duds occasionally. I am certain the seller would be happy to remedy the issue with you. I have not had any issues like this yet, In fact, it worked right out of the box. Also always double check the cartridge number and model number. I hope this helps. If you communicate with therm they should fix this... Take care.

You receive a standard "starter pack" which basically includes mini versions of the cartridges (the yield is not as high as the regular cartridges are). It would be a good idea to buy the regular toner cartridges with the printer so that you have them available to you when the starter pack runs out.

We do not get the amount of sheets the cartridge claims to print. However, in all fairness we are an insurance agency that is printing quotes and there are areas on the quotes that do have gray shaded lines. We only got about 2300 on the first cartridge and then on the extra high yield ($400 cartridge) we should have gottenaround 25000 (i believe that is what they claim) when we only received about 13000. The machine is lightening fast and will print a very high volume in a short amount of time. We have not had a run in with the warranty so I can't help you there.

Usually, the cartridges that come with a new printer are just test/sample cartridges, so they tend give less output than the "real" cartridges. Upon installation of the printer software, you will be able to track your toner use but if you also go to the HP site, it gives an idea of max output, which for this cartridge is stated as 2,600 pages, but I would say that average is a little less than a full (letter-sized) page of colour.

Depends on how they're uneven. If there are lighter and darker areas on each page, it's possible that the toner is already low - it's only good for about 250 pages of text and less if it's graphics.Check the cartridge capacity in the web page for the printer on your network and make sure you have more than 10% toner left. Take the toner cartridge out of the printer and slowly rock it side-to-side to distribute the toner more evenly.

On the average, one toner cartridge will do about 2000 at about 5% surface area. For the normal printing and copying, you will see a typical yield of 1500 to 1750 copies. Hopefully this will help you on your decision.

Sorry I can not be of more assistance but I agree with the other respondents. I personally had no problems with the strip that releases the toner. If yu are talking about some other strip please let us know.

61XL gives you more printed pages than the 61. Unformatuately, the one I received gave me almost no pages and just stopped. That cartridge generally lasts me a long time, I don't to a lot of printing and it saves ordering so much.

My dear fellow user. Indeed I use my cartridges for variety of functions more so greeting cards, 4x6 and 8x10 prints when I go on a picture taking escapade etc. Because of foregoing I cannot say with any degree of specificity the number of 4x6 prints it would yield. Sorry I could not be more precise. Enjoy the "fun" as I do; best wishes.
