Frequently Asked Questions

Why do the blues in our charts come out purple when the cyan gets low?

Blue on paper is cyan plus magenta. As the TN310C fades, the magenta in the mix starts to dominate, and blues slide toward purple while greens lose their brightness. It is one of the most recognisable low-colour signatures in this family. Print a test page and inspect the cyan block: if it is streaky or washed out, the cyan cartridge is the cause, not the file you are printing from.

Why does a colour page cost so much more than a black page here?

Run the numbers. The TN310C is $108.55 for 1,500 rated pages — about 7.2 cents a page — while the black in the same family gives its pages for roughly 4 cents. Colour cartridges carry smaller fills and the colour itself is used in blends, so several colours are spent on the same sheet. That gap is normal for genuine toner in this generation, and it is why colour-heavy documents cost what they cost.

Which printers does the TN310C fit?

The TN310 generation: HL-4140CN, HL-4150CDN, HL-4570CDW and HL-4570CDWT printers; MFC-9460CDN, MFC-9560CDW and MFC-9970CDW all-in-ones; and the DCP-9055CDN and DCP-9270CDN. The cyan slot in each of them takes this cartridge, stamped TN310C on its label.

How honest is the 1,500-page rating for office printing?

It is measured the industry way — a standard test page at about five percent coverage. An office page with a chart, a coloured header and a logo sits close to that. A page that is mostly a photograph or a full-colour background uses far more cyan, and your return will be well under 1,500 pages. Treat the rating as a comparison figure between cartridges rather than a promise for your exact documents.

Should I change the cyan now or wait until the printer refuses?

Change it when the output tells you to. The machine will warn early and keep printing for a while; colours gradually shift as the fill thins, and for internal paperwork that may be acceptable. For anything client-facing, swap the TN310C when blues start drifting — a fresh cartridge restores the mix immediately, and the old one owes you nothing.

What cover comes with this genuine cartridge?

The cartridge itself is backed by Brother's manufacturer warranty. If you are unsure whether cyan is really your problem before ordering, talk to support Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
