Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the standard-yield TN330 when the TN360 costs the same here?

Honest answer: for most regular printers, you would not. Both cartridges are $31.33 at Clever Supplies, but the TN330 is rated for 1,500 pages while the TN360 covers 2,600 pages. The TN330 makes sense for genuinely light, occasional printing — a home machine that prints a few pages a week, where a smaller cartridge that gets used up sooner is a tidier fit than a high-yield cartridge sitting in the machine for years.

How many pages should a light user expect from this cartridge?

The rating is 1,500 pages at standard coverage, which works out to 2.09¢ per page at $31.33. If you print around 50 pages a month, that is roughly two and a half years of printing from one cartridge. Heavier coverage — dense documents, graphics, lots of bold text — will use toner faster, so treat 1,500 as a benchmark, not a promise.

Which Brother machines take the TN330?

It works in the following Brother models: DCP-7030, DCP-7040, DCP-7045N, HL-2140, HL-2150N, HL-2170W, MFC-7320, MFC-7340, MFC-7345DN, MFC-7345N and MFC-7440N. The TN330 and TN360 fit exactly the same machines, so you can switch between standard and high yield at any cartridge change without changing anything else on the printer.

Does a cartridge go stale if it sits in a rarely used printer?

Toner is a dry powder, so it does not dry out the way ink does. A TN330 in a light-use machine can sit for a long stretch and still print cleanly. If output ever looks uneven after a long idle period, removing the cartridge and rocking it gently side to side redistributes the toner. Keeping a spare sealed in its box, stored flat away from heat, is also fine.

Do I need to replace the drum when I replace this toner?

No. Toner and drum are separate parts on this platform. This cartridge is toner only; the DR360 drum is rated for 12,000 pages and is changed on its own schedule — roughly every eight TN330 cartridges. Only swap the drum when the printer asks for it or when repeating marks and background shading point to the drum, not the toner.

What cover comes with this $31.33 cartridge?

Every cartridge is protected by a 1-year warranty and can be returned free of charge for a full year after purchase. The full terms are set out in our shipping and returns policy. If something prints poorly, contact us before assuming the machine is at fault — most issues are sorted with a replacement, not a repair bill.
