I ORDERED THIS PRINT CARTRIDGE FROM AMAZON BECAUSE IT WAS IN STOCK.
I WS HAVING TROUBLE FINDING IT LOCALLY WITHOUT SPECIAL ORDERING.
I WAS PLEASED THAT I RECEIVED IT AS FAST AS I DID AND THE PRICE
WAS RIGHT. NEXT TIME I NEED A CARTRIDGE, I WILL ORDER IT FROM AMAZON.

I have now purchased this item at least three times. I counted the number of pages since the last purchase and got no more than about 1800 pages out of it, most of them with relatively little ink coverage. When the "toner" light illuminates on my HL-2170W printer (which probably also deserves a poor rating in this respect) and stays on, there is nothing you can do to keep printing, regardless of the fact that the previous sheet showed no signs of being insufficiently dark. Rather than let you run out of toner, the machine is clearly programmed to simply shut off at a certain point. That, to me, is a very anti-consumer design. I am not getting much more out of this supposedly "high yield" cartridge than from a normal one.

This toner cartridge lasted me, quite literally, a whole year. The print quality is very good, and the ease of use couldn't be better. Overall, this cartridge goes a long way.

I ordered a new toner cartridge to replace the 'starter' cartridge that came with the printer - when the toner light started blinking. A couple of weeks after the new cartridge arrived, the toner light went 'solid' and would not print. So, I used the 'tape over the port' trick to fool it into continuing to print. That worked and the starter cartridge is still printing fine - no streaking or significant fading yet. I still have it set on draft print mode for routine printing. Oh, I forgot to mention that I applied the tape in March of this year!! I'm writing this in early October. I don't print 'tons' but I'm sure I've printed another 1000 pages or so since the cartridge was showing empty. This is my 3rd similar Brother printer, (wired, then ethernet, then wireless) and all have worked fine as have the replacement toner cartridges.

Best price on the item I could find and was delivered when promised. Installed and operational in 3 minutes.
