Digital camera reviews of Brother TN580 High Yield Black Toner Cartridge
Digital camera Review: I stick to name brands
Summary: 5 Stars
What can you say about a Brother TN580 toner cartridge? Not much unless you have good luck or a bad experiance with one. I'm the kind of person who can have enough problems with name brand products not performing as expected, let alone buying off breed items. Lot of people have good luck with no name after market inkjet and toner cartridges. I have not. I do photo restoration and print lots of documents in genealogy research and I don't have time to fuss with something not working right or pictures that look terrible. So, I stick with name brand and original name equipment. It may cost more at first, but still be cheaper in the long run.Digital camera Review: It's just a toner cartridge
Summary: 3 Stars
Nothing much to say, the toner cartridge does what it is supposed to do, print black ink.
I think the "high yield" version is a better deal than the non-"high yield" version. The Amazon price is much better than what I could find in the local "office" brick & mortar superstores.
One complaint: After you have printed the budgeted number of pages for the cartridge, the printer will "lock up" and not let you print any more with the cartridge. It does this even though there's probably some ink left. It's incredibly frustrating. Brother is not the only company that does this.
Digital camera Review: Just Another Scam
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this toner for my Brother MFC-8860DN and it is supposed to print about 7000 pages. That's a joke. I got perhaps 4500, then got the message during a large print job: OUT OF TONER and the printer just stopped. Luckily, i saw the comments here from another customer who pointed out that a little tape over the round window on the right side of the toner cartridge will let you use the rest of the toner without being scammed by Brother. I tried it and it worked perfectly!
That is really the main complaint I have about this product. It works fine, but it is a scam. I will buy a generic toner cartridge available on Amazon this time and will see how that works.
Digital camera Review: Lasted 6 months in medium-usage household
Summary: 3 Stars
The cartridge made it 6 months in a household with a law student and a grad student before the Low Toner warning came on. In the same amount of time we went through three reams of paper--1,500 pages--and I promise we were close to the 5% paper coverage Brother expects. The masking-tape-over-the-window method described elsewhere in the reviews gave us another 2 months of far lower usage. In sum: if you bought a laser printer on the expectation that it would print more pages for less money than an inkjet printer, run the numbers on the assumption that these $60 cartridges last for 2,000 pages.Digital camera Review: Linda in Dublin

I have a Brother MFC 8860-DN. This toner refill does NOT fit this printer, although it is listed as compatible with this toner cartridge!
