Takeaway: Affordable, dark, streak free, easy to install third-party ink; great value.

The toner is sold in a two-pack and packaged in a non-descript cardboard box, so rather than paying a lot for fancy packaging that you’re just going to discard, the savings is passed on to you from this generic box. Inside you’ll find two individually sealed toner cartridges. After removing the cartridge from the sealed bag, be sure to distribute the toner powder inside by gently shaking it side to side and back and forth. Then remove the plastic orange cover.

I’m using these in my Brother HL-L2380DW printer since I’ve been getting the low toner message on the LCD and my computer for a while now, and on my test print the 100% black areas are somewhat light and faded. To remove the toner drum. just open the top and the front door panel, and pull out the drum unit inside. Then to release the old cartridge, press down on the green lever in the front left corner and lift the cartridge out.

The cartridge may look a little different from the original Brother cartridge but has the same general size and shape and fit into the DR-630 drum just fine. Seat the toner cartridge into the drum until the lever clicks. Now you can replace the drum in the printer, ensuring it is pushed all the way in before closing it up.

After installing the ink, the printer recognized right away that the toner was changed and automatically reset the toner life. However, if you need to do this manually for any reason, just go into Settings on the touch panel, then select All Settings, General Setup, scroll down to Replace Toner, and finally select Continue.

Upon printing a new test page, it was easy to tell side-by-side how much darker the 100% black areas are. I didn’t see any streaking or uneven areas and the color transitions are even and smooth. These cartridges are rated to last for about 2600 pages per cartridge and cost a fraction of what you’d spend on original Brother toner, and in my opinion work just as well.
