My previous Brother laser lasted me over 14 years using only the original toner provided inside the box. I merely had to shake it once a year to redistribute the toner inside it.
Even if I had to buy another genuine cartridge during that 12 year run, it would have been worth it. I had to get another printer simply because that specific model had been discontinued for years, and I couldn’t find a replacement drum.
Not bad for a $109 printer.
HP cartridges barely last a month, costs $40 each, and if you don’t use it for a couple of weeks, they no longer work.
Had to buy an HP inkjet to make custom printed shirts for an event; never again.
That thing ended costing upwards of $200 for 2 months of use.
I’ll buy Brother and their genuine laser toner cartridges anytime.
Brother. Don’t ever look at anything else.
