Our take on the Brother TN221BK Standard Yield Toner Black

The Brother TN221BK is a genuine black toner cartridge for Brother's color laser printers and all-in-ones, rated for about 2,500 pages. It is the standard-yield black cartridge in the TN221 line, which also covers cyan, magenta and yellow. Buyers pick genuine Brother toner for consistent output and to avoid the smearing and voiding some third-party cartridges cause. It suits home offices and small offices that print mostly black text and occasional color. The main trade-off is yield: the high-yield TN225BK fits the same printers and lasts longer per cartridge.
