Frequently Asked Questions

We print mostly text on the DCP-9045 with color only now and then — is high-yield black overkill?

It is the opposite of overkill for a mixed workload. Occasional color pages still pass through a machine whose daily bread is black text, and the TN115BK's 5,000 pages at $44.92 (about 0.90¢ a page) means the cartridge you change most often is also the cheapest to run. The colors simply wait their turn.

What printers is this black cartridge made for?

It serves the whole TN115 platform: DCP-9040CN, DCP-9045CDN, HL-4040CDN, HL-4040CN, HL-4070CDW, MFC-9440CN and MFC-9450CDN

Does printing color wear the black cartridge faster?

Only slightly — composite grays in color documents can draw some black, but the bulk of color work falls on the TN115C, TN115M and TN115Y cartridges (4,000 pages each). Your black consumption still tracks your text volume far more than your color volume.

TN110 or TN115 — which suits a sometimes-color office?

The TN110 family is the standard-yield line for these machines (2,500 pages black, 1,500 per color). Choose it if the printer genuinely sits unused for weeks. The TN115BK doubles black yield to 5,000 pages, and for a DCP-9045 in regular document service that longevity is worth more than the smaller cartridge's lower shelf price.

If one color fades, do I replace the whole set?

No — the platform was designed around single-color swaps. A faded magenta is fixed with a magenta. When several colors and the black all approach empty together, the bundled TN115 four-color set at $127.02 is the tidy restock; otherwise buy only what is low.

What guarantee backs this cartridge?

A one-year warranty and one-year free returns cover this compatible cartridge, as set out on the shipping and returns page. Stock ships from IL, PA, GA or CA, with support available 9 AM–5 PM CST.

About This TN115BK for the DCP-9045

Mixed workloads punish small cartridges: the black runs out mid-month while colors sit nearly full, and someone is always placing a rush order. Doubling black capacity to 5,000 pages for about 0.90¢ a page smooths that cycle out. This TN115BK keeps the DCP-9045's everyday documents cheap and leaves its color ability untouched until you need it — browse the wider Brother range for the matching colors.
