Be sure to tape the window!
By D. Matheny
I was really excited to get the Brother HL6180DW Printer - and a big part of that was the availability of this super high yield printer cartridge.
Because we print so much, the initial cartridge that came with the printer only lasted a few days, and then we switched to one of these babies. The print quality is excellent and the installation was easy; although, I will admit I expected it to weigh just a bit more because of the additional toner capacity.
One thing to watch for with these cartridges is that there is a small window that the printer uses to determine when the toner is out. The problem is that you can typically get almost 1000 more pages after the toner passes the level of that window. The easy fix is to add a small piece of tape over the window after the printer thinks it's out of toner. That will give you a chance to pick up a new toner cartridge before it really does run out (which is obvious because the print quality drops off really fast).
Overall, I would highly recommend these toners. It's less hassle because you don't have to change toner as much, and it's also very cost efficient.

Very disappointed - not once but 5 times now
By Trotters_Independent_Traders
Why oh why did Brother bring out these 12,000 page high capacity cartridges. We bulk print and have used Brother printers and toner for years, and NEVER have had the trouble we have with these. They print about 7000-7500 pages and then litterally spew toner everywhere. I'm not just talking a little leak here, but major toner inside the printer, all over the drum, and burnt into the paper. A terrible mess. We can't blame the printers, because we bought two of them, and they BOTH do the same. We already have toner exchanges from Amazon, and THEY leak at the same point in use. It looks like Brother needs to go back to the drawing board, and figure out the problem. We'll drop down to the 8,000 page toner and hope that they're better. If we get the same problem, then it WILL obviously be the printers that are at fault after all. Finger's crossed though that they're not the problem. We still have and use the Brother HL-5340D's and they continue to work great, as do the TN650 toners. If the new printers are at fault, then we'll have to look around for the discontinued HL-5340D, and use them until Brother sort out the problem. Hope you all have better luck than we have.

Not impressed...but worth the money..
By scooter guy
First time trying out this super high yield toner for my 5470 printer. Noticed that this printer must have a page counter built into the software that locks up the printer after so many prints. On my older brother printers I can just tape the laser window and get an extra 2k to 3k prints. This one shuts down the printer after like 5500 prints and even putting tape over the window does not allow to print past that number. Also have seen that this one does leak more than any other cartridges I have used in the past. Ordered 2 more and will see if the next two are just as bad as this first one.

After using these more I will update that I have grown accustomed to these. Maybe I had a bad batch to begin with but so far the new ones seem to be holding up better. Still would like to see a more consistent number of prints from each one considering I only print text documents. But for the price these are the least expensive price per print toner you can get.

Why does the toner cost more than the printer cost???
