Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a cartridge shared by fax machines and early laser printers still being bought?

Because the installed base never fully went away. The TN430 feeds Brother's FAX and Intellifax machines, the early HL-1240 and HL-1440 printers and a long line of MFC all-in-ones that are still sitting in back offices, workshops and surgeries doing unglamorous daily work. As long as those machines run, their owners need the genuine 3,000-page TN430 — and Brother still makes it, which tells you the demand is real.

TN430 or TN460 — the same printers list both. Which belongs in mine?

Both fit the same slot; the difference is purely how much toner is inside. The TN430 is the standard fill at 3,000 pages, the TN460 doubles that to 6,000. If the cartridge coming out of your machine is a TN430, this is the direct replacement. If you find yourself ordering twice as often as you would like, the high-yield sibling is the step up — the printer does not care which of the two you slide in.

What does a page cost on the TN430?

At $95.92 for 3,000 rated pages, about 3.2 cents a page. That is respectable for genuine stock on a legacy platform, though the TN460 undercuts it at roughly 2 cents a page if your volume justifies the bigger cartridge. Against the TN430's own $134.29 list price, you are already paying well under the figure Brother printed on the box.

Which machines run on the TN430?

Thirty-nine of them: the DCP-1200 and DCP-1400; the FAX 8350p and FAX 8750p; the HL-1030, HL-1230, HL-1240, HL-1250, HL-1270n, HL-1435, HL-1440, HL-1450, HL-1470n and HL-P2500 printers; the Intellifax 4100, 4100e, 4750, 4750e, 4750p, 5750, 5750e, 5750p, 8500 and 8500p; and the MFC-1260, MFC-1270, MFC-2500, MFC-8300, MFC-8500, MFC-8600, MFC-8700, MFC-9600, MFC-9650, MFC-9700, MFC-9750, MFC-9800, MFC-9850, MFC-9870 and MFC-P2500. It is one of the widest-serving cartridges Brother ever made.

How can I stretch a 3,000-page cartridge in a busy fax room?

Switch on the printer's toner-save mode for internal copies — incoming faxes and drafts print lighter but stay legible, and the saving is real. When output first fades, remove the TN430 and rock it gently side to side to redistribute the remaining powder; that routinely recovers a few hundred pages. Keep the machine's paper dry, too — damp paper wastes toner on reprints.

What cover does this cartridge come with?

Our terms give you 30 days from delivery to send the TN430 back in all cases, spelled out on the shipping and returns page, and as factory Brother stock it is backed by the manufacturer's own warranty after that. We dispatch from Illinois, Pennsylvania, Georgia or California depending on your address, and our support desk answers Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

About This Genuine Brother TN430 Black Toner Cartridge

The TN430 is the standard 3,000-page genuine black for Brother's fax-era and early-laser platform — thirty-nine machines deep — at $95.92 against a $134.29 list. It is the cartridge that keeps Intellifax machines and HL-1440s in service long after their contemporaries were scrapped, and the sensible like-for-like refill when the bigger TN460 fill would outlast your actual volume. You will find both fills in the Brother range at Clever Supplies.
