Frequently Asked Questions

Who actually buys eight cartridges in a single order?

Workplaces running several printers from the same Brother family — a front desk, a back office and a manager's machine, for example. One eight-pack on the supply shelf restocks every unit, and nobody has to work out which model needs which box, because they all take the same cartridges.

What is the per-cartridge price in this pack?

The pack is $92.38 for eight cartridges, which is $11.55 each — the lowest per-cartridge figure in this cartridge family, well under the $27.27 and $27.88 single prices. For the full shelf, see our Best Brother TN221 Toner Cartridges guide: the TN221BK black cartridge, the high-yield TN225 colors, the mixed sets and the DR221 drum units are compared side by side — including what each route costs per page when a single slot or the whole printer runs dry.

Which printers does this pack supply?

It supplies the HL-3140, HL-3170, HL-3140CW, HL-3170CDW, MFC-9130, MFC-9330, MFC-9340, MFC-9130CW, MFC-9330CDW, MFC-9340CDW, DCP-9020, DCP-9020CDN, DCP-9020CDW, HL-3140CDW, HL-3150CDN, HL-3150CDW, HL-3170CDW, MFC-9140CDN, MFC-9330CW and MFC-9340CW. Any of those machines, in any room of the building, draws from the same shelf stock.

How much printing does the pack represent?

Every black cartridge in the box is rated at 2,500 pages and every color cartridge at 2,200 pages, at the standard 5% coverage. Spread across several machines, that is a long interval before the supply shelf needs attention again.

Does an eight-pack make sense for a single printer?

Only for a genuinely high-volume one. A single lightly used machine would take a very long time to work through eight cartridges, and a four-pack would cover it more sensibly. This pack earns its price where several machines share the load.

What backing does a bulk pack like this carry?

Every cartridge is covered by a 1-year warranty, with free returns for a year as set out in our returns policy. Deliveries go out from our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses, and support answers Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

How should an eight-pack be divided between rooms without losing track?

Split the eight TN221 and TN225 cartridges by location and label each group with the room or machine it belongs to. A simple shelf tally — sealed, installed, empty — for each location prevents the classic bulk-stock problem: eight cartridges in the building, yet the one printer that stops has none beside it because the whole pack drifted to another office.

Which machine should receive a fresh cartridge first when two are fading?

The one whose output problem is real, not just warned. A machine printing faded, customer-facing documents takes priority over one still producing clean pages under a low-toner message. Because every unit in the fleet uses the same TN221BK and TN225 cartridges, the stock does not care which machine draws first — your judgment about urgency does the allocating.

What does the pile of empties tell a multi-printer workplace over a year?

It is a free consumption audit. Count the empty TN221BK cartridges against the TN225 colors at reorder time and you will see the fleet's true diet — most shared fleets burn black far faster than any single color. That ratio tells you whether the next order should be another eight-pack or a black-heavy restock instead.

Does two-sided printing change how far this pack goes across the fleet?

Duplexing saves paper, not toner: every printed side still draws on the cartridge's rated pages — 2,500 per TN221BK black and 2,200 per TN225 color. A fleet that duplexes long reports will see cartridges last more calendar days per sheet stack, but the page-side total the pack delivers stays exactly what the ratings promise.

About This TN221/TN225 Eight-Pack for Multi-Printer Workplaces

Eight TN221/TN225 cartridges at $92.38 — $11.55 a cartridge — for offices where more than one Brother machine prints all day. Because the whole printer family shares one cartridge platform, a single shelf stock covers every unit: black cartridges rated at 2,500 pages and colors at 2,200. It is the simplest way to stop toner from being ordered machine by machine, emergency by emergency. More of the range is on our Brother toner page.
