HL SERIES
The HL series is Brother's printer-only laser line: no scanner, no copier, no fax — just fast, sharp laser printing for people who know exactly what they need. That single-purpose focus is why HL printers have been desk staples from the early HL-1000 models through today's HL-L series, covering personal monochrome printers, wireless home-office models and departmental workhorses, plus a long line of color laser models for business documents.
Every HL printer runs on Brother TN toner, usually with a choice of standard-yield and high-yield cartridges and a separate drum unit that is replaced far less often than the toner. The family list below covers the TN generations the HL series has used, from the long-running TN330/TN360 and TN420/TN450 pairs to today's high-capacity TN850 and TN880.

Choosing toner for your HL printer
Genuine Brother toner is the benchmark every HL cartridge is measured against, and it makes sense for machines under warranty and print rooms that cannot afford a second pass. Clever Supplies compatible TN cartridges follow the same yield ratings and cartridge design at a lower cost per page — the savings grow with high-yield versions, which suit the HL series' high monthly volumes particularly well. One check before you order: confirm both the toner family and whether your printer also needs its drum unit soon, since the two wear on independent schedules.
Every Clever Supplies compatible toner cartridge is backed by our 1-year warranty, and every Clever Supplies compatible ink cartridge carries a lifetime warranty. Genuine Brother (OEM) supplies are covered by the manufacturer's warranty instead.
