Frequently Asked Questions

How does the per-cartridge price fall as the pack gets bigger?

This 5-pack shows the maths clearly. The total is $93.21 for five TN820 cartridges, which is $18.64 per cartridge and about 0.62¢ per page across 15,000 pages. Compare the steps on this platform: a single costs more per cartridge, and each larger pack shaves the unit price again. Here the total saving against buying five singles separately is $73.94 — you are paying for the same 3,000-page standard-yield cartridges, just at the 5-pack unit rate.

What does 15,000 pages look like in day-to-day use?

Fifteen thousand pages is a substantial run for a busy small office or a workgroup printer handling daily reports, statements, and correspondence. It means fewer reorder points through the year and a shelf stock that can absorb a busy month without a panic purchase. Each cartridge individually is still rated at 3,000 pages; the pack total is simply five of them working back to back.

Should every office buy the 5-pack to get the lower unit price?

Not necessarily. The 0.62¢ per page rate only helps if you will actually use 15,000 pages in a reasonable period. A very light user may wait so long between swaps that a smaller pack makes more sense, even at a higher per-page cost. This pack is for offices whose volume is proven — check your recent print counts first. That honesty matters more than pushing the biggest box.

Which printers will draw from this stock?

Stock from this pack can be shared by the Brother models listed here: DCP-L5500DN, DCP-L5600DN, DCP-L5650DN, HL-L5000D, HL-L5100DN, HL-L5200DW, HL-L5200DWT, HL-L6200DW, HL-L6200DWT, HL-L6250 DN, HL-L6250DW, HL-L6300DW, HL-L6400DW, HL-L6400DWT, MFC-L5700DN, MFC-L5700DW, MFC-L5750DW, MFC-L5800DW, MFC-L5850DW, MFC-L5900DW, MFC-L6700DW, MFC-L6750DW and MFC-L6800DW. The TN820 in this pack and the higher-yield TN850 (8,000 pages per cartridge) cover the same printer platform, so an office mixing standard- and high-yield buying still only manages cartridges for one family of machines.

How does 15,000 pages of toner line up with the drum?

These cartridges run in the DR820 drum unit, which is rated at 30,000 pages and costs $34.55 as a single. One 5-pack therefore supplies exactly half a drum's life in toner — expect roughly two of these packs per drum, with toner swaps along the way and one drum change at the 30,000-page mark if your printer's warning aligns with the rating.

What protection comes with a larger pack like this?

Protection does not shrink as the pack grows: this compatible 5-pack is covered by a one-year warranty, and returns are free within one year too, per our shipping and returns information. We ship from warehouses located in IL, PA, GA, and CA, and our team answers support questions from 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
