Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the black cartridge rated at 2,500 pages when each color is only 1,400?

Because the workloads differ. Most pages leaving an office printer are black text, so Brother sized the TN221BK to carry that load while the TN221C, TN221M and TN221Y colors — rated at 1,400 pages apiece — handle the smaller color share. The set reflects real usage: one bigger black supply and three smaller color supplies in a single box.

I was going to buy the 3-color set and a black on its own — is that the cheaper route?

It is not. The three-color set is $273.29 and a single TN221BK is $118.72, which adds up to $392.01. This four-cartridge set is $360.01 — $32.00 less for exactly the same four cartridges. Piecing the row together only makes sense when one cartridge genuinely does not need replacing yet.

When does replacing the whole row at once actually pay off?

When the printer's supplies report shows several cartridges low together — common on a machine that has worked through a matched set — or when a big color job is coming and you want every supply fresh before it starts. One order, one delivery and four new cartridges also resets the replacement calendar: nothing else should need attention for a long stretch afterwards.

What is in the box, exactly?

Four genuine Brother cartridges: one TN221BK black (2,500-page rating), one TN221C cyan, one TN221M magenta and one TN221Y yellow (1,400-page rating each). Each is individually sealed and goes into its own color-coded slot; they do not have to be installed on the same day, so a color that still has life left can stay in the machine while its replacement waits.

How does the set price sit against the list price?

The set's list price is $504.01 and our selling price is $360.01. Measured against the four cartridges bought one by one at their current selling prices — $418.69 in total — the boxed set is also the lowest-cost way to own the complete row, as the comparison above shows.

What cover do I get with a full set like this?

Our returns terms allow thirty days from delivery if you need to send anything back, and warranty cover for genuine cartridges is provided by Brother as manufacturer. The fine print is on our shipping and returns page; our support desk is available 9 AM to 5 PM CST on weekdays.

About This Brother TN221 4 Color Set

This set gathers the complete genuine toner row for Brother's color LED platform — the HL-3140CW, HL-3150CDW and HL-3170CDW printers, MFC-9130CW, MFC-9330CDW and MFC-9340CDW all-in-ones, and the DCP-9020CDW — into one purchase: TN221BK black plus the TN221C, TN221M and TN221Y colors. At $360.01 it undercuts both the $504.01 list price and the cost of assembling the same cartridges individually. Orders ship from our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA.
