Frequently Asked Questions

Several of us share the DCP-9040CN over the network — how long will one black cartridge last us?

Shared machines burn black faster than anyone expects, because every workstation's day-to-day printing lands on the same TN115BK. Its 5,000-page yield at $44.92 (about 0.90¢ per page) is the high-yield answer to that: fewer mid-week changeovers, and the per-page cost stays predictable even as the whole team's output adds up.

Which models take this cartridge?

The TN115BK fits every printer on this color platform: DCP-9040CN, DCP-9045CDN, HL-4040CDN, HL-4040CN, HL-4070CDW, MFC-9440CN and MFC-9450CDN

One person prints color reports, the rest print black — does that change what I should buy?

Not really. Black and colors are separate cartridges on the DCP-9040CN, so the team's monochrome load is carried by this cartridge alone. The color user only draws down cyan, magenta and yellow, and each of those is replaced individually when it empties.

Why not just buy the standard TN110BK for a shared printer?

The TN110BK yields 2,500 pages — half of this cartridge. On a networked machine that difference shows up as twice the interruptions and a higher cost per page. The TN115BK exists for exactly the shared-duty pattern your 9040CN sees.

Should a shared office keep a spare on hand?

For a machine several people depend on, yes — an empty black cartridge stops everyone's printing, not just one desk's. This cartridge ships from IL, PA, GA or CA warehouses and support runs 9 AM–5 PM CST, but a shelf spare removes the wait entirely. When all four colors are due together, the TN115 four-color set ($127.02) restocks everything at once.

What if the cartridge underperforms?

It is covered by a one-year warranty plus one-year free returns, detailed on our shipping and returns page — coverage that applies to Clever Supplies compatible cartridges like this one.

About This TN115BK for the DCP-9040CN

Networked color machines have a quiet imbalance: five people print black for every one color page, yet all four cartridges sit in the same drawer. This TN115BK answers the imbalance directly — double the standard black yield, roughly 0.90¢ a page, and no effect on the color side until you choose to change it. More of the family lives on the Brother supplies page.
