Frequently Asked Questions

We produce marketing materials in-house on the HL-4050CDN — how should we budget black toner?

Start from the rated figure: this TN115BK yields 5,000 pages at $44.92, about 0.90¢ per page. Brochures and flyers with heavy coverage will land somewhat above that per page, so budget 0.90¢ as your floor for text pieces and treat full-color pieces as color-cartridge spend. Even with that cushion, in-house black stays dramatically cheaper than outsourced print minimums.

What printers does it fit?

The cartridge belongs to the TN115 platform: DCP-9040CN, DCP-9045CDN, HL-4040CDN, HL-4040CN, HL-4070CDW, MFC-9440CN and MFC-9450CDN

Can we refresh all four cartridges in one purchase for a campaign run?

Yes — the TN115 four-color set at $127.02 combines this black with the 4,000-page cyan, magenta and yellow. Starting a campaign with all four fresh removes mid-run color shifts caused by one cartridge aging faster than the others.

Do colors have to be replaced as a set to keep output consistent?

No. Each color is its own cartridge and is normally replaced when it empties. For design-sensitive runs, some teams refresh together for consistency; for everyday marketing pieces, individual replacement is standard practice and keeps costs honest.

TN115BK against TN110BK for production work?

The TN110BK's 2,500 pages interrupt production twice as often and cost more per page. This 5,000-page TN115BK is the production-grade choice — fewer stops during a run, simpler budgeting per piece.

What cover comes with the cartridge?

A one-year warranty and one-year free returns, per the shipping and returns page. Warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA ship orders, and support works 9 AM–5 PM CST.

About This TN115BK for the HL-4050CDN

Bringing marketing print in-house only pays when consumables are predictable. This TN115BK makes black the most predictable line in the budget: 5,000 pages, roughly 0.90¢ each, duplex-friendly for two-sided pieces. Paired with fresh colors, it lets the HL-4050CDN behave like a small production press for everyday materials. The rest of the platform lives on the Brother toner page.
