Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the black cartridge cost the same as every color?

On this TN433 shelf, all four single cartridges — black, cyan, magenta and yellow — are priced at $32.65 each. Black is usually the cartridge you burn through fastest, so a flat price across the family makes your running cost easy to predict: roughly 0.73¢ per page in black from this cartridge's 4,500-page yield, with no premium for the color you use most.

How many pages does this black cartridge actually print?

The TN433BK is the high-yield black for this platform, rated at up to 4,500 pages at standard 5% coverage. At $32.65 that works out to about 0.73¢ per page in toner, which is the cheapest per-page rate of any single cartridge in the TN433 family.

Is this the high-yield or standard cartridge for my printer?

This is the high-yield TN433. Its standard-yield counterpart is the TN431, which fits exactly the same printers but runs out sooner. If your printer shipped with a TN431, this TN433BK drops straight in and simply lasts longer between changes.

Which printers does this cartridge fit?

This TN433 black cartridge is made for Brother's TN431/TN433 color laser platform: HL-L8260CDW, HL-L8360CDW, HL-L8360CDWT, HL-L9310CDW, HL-L9310CDWT, HL-L9310CDWTT, MFC-L8610CDW, MFC-L8900CDW and MFC-L9570CDW

Can I swap just the black and leave the colors alone?

Yes. Every cartridge on this platform is a separate unit, so the black can be changed on its own whenever the printer calls for it. There is no need to touch cyan, magenta or yellow until each one reports low individually.

What protection comes with this cartridge?

It is covered by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, as set out in our shipping & returns policy. Orders are dispatched from our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and support is available 9 AM–5 PM CST if a cartridge ever gives you trouble.

About This TN433 Black Toner Cartridge

This compatible Brother TN433BK black toner cartridge delivers up to 4,500 pages at about 0.73¢ per page, and at $32.65 it is priced exactly like the cyan, magenta and yellow singles in the same family — simple, predictable costs for the cartridge your printer uses most. It fits the full TN431/TN433 platform, replaces only the black position, and is stocked alongside the rest of our Brother toner range. If you print heavily in black, the TN433 4-color set or a black multi-pack will stretch the value further.
