Frequently Asked Questions

We're a small office that just got an HL-2220 — what should we budget per month for toner?

Start from your page count. At a typical starter-office volume of 400–500 pages a month, one TN450 (2,600 pages, $27.13) lasts five to six months, which budgets out to roughly $5 a month in toner at about 1.04¢ a page. That is the whole toner line item — there are no color cartridges or ink tanks hiding behind it.

Is there a cheaper way to stock up once we know our volume?

Yes: the 2-pack runs $35.77 against $54.26 for two singles — $18.49 saved — and for a small office it converts toner from a recurring errand into a twice-a-year purchase. With 5,200 pages across the pair, most starter offices are looking at close to a year of printing in one box.

Which printers does this cartridge fit?

DCP-7060D, DCP-7065DN, HL-2130, HL-2132, HL-2220, HL-2230, HL-2240, HL-2240D, HL-2242D, HL-2250DN, HL-2270DW, HL-2275DW, HL-2280DW, Intellifax 2840, Intellifax 2940, MFC-7240, MFC-7360N, MFC-7365DN and MFC-7460DN

TN450 or TN420 for a growing office?

The TN420 (1,200 pages) fits the same HL-2220 and suits genuinely occasional printing. But a growing office's page count only moves one way, and the high-yield TN450 halves your swaps and costs less per page — for a business machine, the high-yield is the default we would choose. If volume later outgrows this printer entirely, the same TN450 fits a wide family of Brother machines, so shelf stock rarely goes to waste.

What other running cost should go in the budget?

The drum. The DR420 costs $30.50 and lasts around 12,000 pages, which amortises to roughly 0.25¢ a page — call it a dollar a month at starter volumes. Toner plus drum together put the HL-2220's true consumable cost at about 1.3¢ per page.

What support does a small office get with it?

A 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns (details on our shipping and returns page), plus a support team available 9 AM–5 PM CST — office hours, helpfully.
