Frequently Asked Questions

The TN750 gives 8,000 pages for $143.55. Why does this 3,000-page cartridge still sell?

Because not every printer on this platform works hard, and the TN720 asks for less money today: $107.20 against the TN750's $143.55. On a machine printing a few hundred pages a month — a branch office, a home-based professional, a backup printer — a TN750's extra 5,000 pages could take years to spend, and the $36.35 difference is better kept than parked in toner. The TN720 is the standard-yield fill for the platform, and for genuinely light duty it remains the proportionate buy.

What does a TN720 page cost, stated plainly?

Around 3.6 cents — $107.20 over the 3,000-page rating. That is roughly double the TN750's per-page figure, and there is no way to present it as the economy option for a busy machine. The honest summary: the TN720 minimises today's outlay, the TN750 minimises running cost. Which one is "cheaper" depends entirely on how many pages your machine prints before this cartridge is empty.

Which printers use the TN720?

Fourteen models: the DCP-8110DN, DCP-8150DN and DCP-8155DN; the HL-5440D, HL-5450DN, HL-5470DW, HL-5470DWT, HL-6180DW and HL-6180DWT; and the MFC-8510DN, MFC-8710DW, MFC-8810DW, MFC-8910DW and MFC-8950DW. Note the one list difference that catches people: the MFC-8950DWT appears on the TN750's list but not here, so owners of that model should order the high-yield cartridge. Everywhere else on the platform the two fills interchange in the same DR720 drum.

Can I switch to the TN750 later without changing anything else?

Yes. The TN720 and TN750 share the drum, the slot and the printer's settings; stepping up is a one-cartridge decision you can make at any replacement. Many owners do exactly this: TN720 while a machine's volume is unproven, TN750 once the page counts show it earning its keep. The reverse also works if a busy machine is retired to light duty — nothing about the printer prefers one fill over the other.

How does the drum fit into the picture on this platform?

The drum is the DR720, a separate unit rated around 30,000 pages — about ten TN720 cartridges' worth. Toner and drum report independently on the display, so a drum-life message is not a prompt to buy toner, and an empty TN720 will not be revived by a new drum. At standard-yield volumes the drum can outlast several years of cartridges; it is the platform's background part, changed rarely and only when its own warning arrives.
