Frequently Asked Questions

Why keep feeding an older colour platform like the HL-4040 or MFC-9440 with genuine black?

Because these machines are long-lived, and their owners know it. The TN110BK is the genuine black for Brother's earlier colour platform — printers and all-in-ones that have been in service for years and still produce good work. Genuine toner keeps that going: consistent density, no mess inside a machine you cannot easily replace, and output that matches the colour cartridges beside it. At $87.79 the black is also the cheapest cartridge in its family, so keeping the platform genuine costs least exactly where use is heaviest.

Why is the black rated at 2,500 pages when the colours are 1,500?

Because most pages these machines print are mostly black. Text dominates office output, so Brother fills the black cartridge deeper — 2,500 rated pages against 1,500 for each colour. In practice the black still tends to run out first in document-heavy offices despite the bigger rating, while colour-heavy users may cycle two sets of colours against one black. The ratings describe capacity, not a promise that all four will finish together.

Which printers use the TN110BK?

Eight models: the DCP-9040CN and DCP-9045CDN; the HL-4040CN, HL-4040CDN and HL-4070CDW; and the MFC-9440CN, MFC-9450CDN and MFC-9840CDW. These are the machines with separate TN110 colour cartridges alongside — if your printer takes TN110C, TN110M and TN110Y, this is its black. Later compact colour models moved to the TN210 family and are not interchangeable with this one.

What does the TN110BK cost per page?

About 3.5 cents — $87.79 across 2,500 rated pages. That is barely half the per-page cost of this family's colour cartridges, which sit near 6.6 cents, and it reflects how Brother priced the platform: black as the workhorse at a workhorse rate. Against its $122.91 list price, our figure is the discounted one, so the 3.5-cent running cost is what you will actually experience, page for page.

Does changing the black affect the drum on these machines?

The toner cartridges and the drum are separate on this platform too. The four TN110 cartridges sit in a shared drum assembly that is a much longer-lived part, changed only when its own service message appears or quality fades across all colours at once. Swapping this black cartridge is a minutes-long job that touches nothing else — pull the drum tray, lift the black cartridge out, click the new one in.
