 Excellent page yield, easy to install, but gums up with labels October 25, 2008

This replacement toner cartridge has an excellent yield, and if you don't print that often, a single cartridge will last quite a long time.
As with any cartridge, this is an all-in-one piece. You are required to shake the cartridge before installation and remove a couple of plastic adhesive strips attached to the cartridge before use. Installation is easy -- just slide the cartridge into the opening of the printer. There is nothing to adjust.
I learned with my first replacement cartridge that these cartridges do not work well with adhesive labels. If you plan on printing a couple of sheets of adhesive labels, the rollers in the cartridge will pick up the gum from the labels, and this will reduce the resulting print quality. I could not clean the first replacement to improve quality, and therefore had to dispose of a cartridge before it was completely spent.
Otherwise, this is a quality product with a decent yield.

The toner came in good condition. However it took almost a week to arrive. It prints well, but on the "lighter" side.

This toner works fine. I have printed many pages with it, but I do not have an exact count. My Brother printer did not use to make a screeching sound, and I do not think it is b/c of the toner. Laser printers require higher maintenance which I know from my prior experiences in network computing. Overall, this is a good toner.

I have nothing but praise for Brother printers and toner cartridges. I have had zero problems. No Jams and the toner cartridges last forever and I print at least 10-30 pages a day.

I own a Brother HL-1240, so of course I have to use this toner cartridge. But if I had a choice, I'd try someone else's. The problem is always the same. After a few months of great printing (and, BTW, I print maybe a couple dozen sheets a week, if that), a vertical line develops down the left side of every page about three-quarters of an inch from the paper's edge. Don't bother with tech support. They'll tell you to clean the corona wire and drum, which I did a million times to no avail. Eventually I gave up, went out and purchased another cartridge, and voila, problem solved -- for another couple of months anyway. And then you have to trash the old cartridge which, as you'll be able to tell from shaking it, still has a heavy load of toner left in it. Great little printer; lousy little cartridges. Suppose that's how they make their money, though.
