Hi, is this the old packaging or does it have the newer one? and do toners go bad?

Hi- Not sure about packaging but... toner will go bad quickly after it is opened. If the seal is unbroken I would say it could last years. One other thing I feel I must mention...I leave the toner on only 5 minutes or it grabs too dark. I have coarse curley lightened hair.

Got this answer from yahoo...."Yep, there should be a little container on the back with a number on it and the letter "M". Ex my toner says 26m. Which means it'll go bad after 26 months of it being opened. See pic for example(I'll edit and put in source box)." Not sure if that is old packaging, but you could compare to Wella boxes sold at Sallys since they would be the newest. I do not think Wella has ever changed their formula. Hope this helps!

Good question. My toner seems to last 3 months and then the printer stops working until you replace toner. I'm replacing the printer. Not getting Brother again.

I don't think so. I've ordered a new cartridge and kept it in the box, unopened, for 3 maybe 4 weeks before using it...never had a problem with the toner.

It comes with one packaged toner cartridge. It says it should last two years with average use.Don't forget you can always do the old tilt-shake trick to get a good 6 months - 1 year extra out of them.

Gobby, I have never heard there is an expiration date for those kind of items. I have owned Brother printers for years and never had a problem with them - except when super storm Sandy took my color laser printer :-( But I quickly purchased another one, a monochrome this time because of my budget. The high yield toner last me over a year with no problems.

I read where a customer got an old/ expired package of vi. it had dust all over it also. exactly how old are these packages I'm ordering.

I don't know exactly but toners lasts a long time. Aftermarket toners are cheap and work fine from amazon. I've used the 104 toners for years and recently updated to this printer. All good, no problems.

brother won't do anything to help.I had just brought my toner from amazon ,it streaked on the right side of the page. I called brother and they told to mail it back to them and they would send postage(which that did not)they sent back the same one back,I again called them back , they said it was empty and would not replace it .I showed that I just got it and if it was empty that is the way they packed. it they wouldn't do anything about it. so a total loss.

To my knowledge, toner will remain usable for a very long time, assuming there are no drastic changes in humidity where the printer is located. My first cartridge lasted 9 months with infrequent use.

i've refilled mine. so far it seems to be okay. just make sure you've got the toner AND the replacement chip.

Laser toner is a powder and shouldn't ever expire or go bad, as does inkjet ink does

Yes it comes with a default toner. I am not sure if its same as new toner or its supposed to last for less prints. Mine is still going good.

I bought mine back in Oct. 2013, it's been working great for 7 months now. I used to buy the original Brother toner which was almost $100.00, this one is a 'Brother TN350 compatible toner cartridge', I take it as a generic brand but is compatible to Brother TN350. Before you install the cartridge, make sure you shake it several times, shake it left and right plus up and down. These toner cartridges use dry powder ink, it may settle to one side during the shipping. Good luck!

I had it for about 18 months and I don't have any problems, I don't think any one is offering warranties for toners. toner are rated against how many pages it produce, really not about life span. how many pages do you print monthly and how does it compare with the HP toner?

The original cartridge gave us about 700-800 copies. This cartridge which replaced it, according to the printer, has printed 1034 pages (I have my doubts about this number though) so far without any issues. Since last two days the toner low message is back and is consistently on but little shaking makes it work. Let see how far it will go. Will keep you posted on the final number.

Mine wasn't in original packaging...just in a bubble wrap envelope. And my printer said it had been refilled.
