Best Compatible Toner for Brother TN760 & TN730 (2026): Prices Compared

Last updated: November 2, 2026.

Quick answer: For a Brother HL-L2350DW, HL-L2390DW, MFC-L2710DW or any other printer in the L2000 family, the toner we would buy is our compatible Brother TN760 at $26.95. It is rated at about 3,000 pages, the same as Brother's TN760, which costs $98.29 at Staples, so it is about 73% cheaper and works out to 0.9 cents a page against 3.3 cents. Skip the standard TN730 (about 1,200 pages, $55.79 from Brother): the TN760 fits the same printers and costs less per page. The thing to watch is not a lock-out but the drum: the TN760 snaps into a separate DR730 drum unit, rated at about 12,000 pages, and a worn drum is the most common cause of poor prints.

Shop the full range: Brother TN760 toner cartridges (TN760, plus the DR730 drum unit).

We'll say the obvious thing up front: we sell this toner, so our recommendation is not neutral. To make up for that, the table below puts LD Products, 4inkjets, CompAndSave, Staples and a marketplace listing next to our own prices. On this family we happen to be the lowest of the specialty sellers by about two dollars, but the gap is small and we show every number. This post covers which printers take TN760 and TN730, what every option costs per page as of November 2026, when to replace the DR730 drum, and why Brother printers are easier on compatible toner than most. If you only need the cartridge number for one model, see what toner does the Brother HL-L2350DW use?

What printers use Brother TN760 and TN730 toner?

TN730 (standard) and TN760 (high yield) are the same size and fit the same printers. Brother lists these models for TN730:

• HL series: HL-L2350DW, HL-L2370DW, HL-L2370DW XL, HL-L2390DW and HL-L2395DW (our guide for the HL-L2325DW covers it too)
• MFC series: MFC-L2690DW, MFC-L2710DW, MFC-L2717DW, MFC-L2730DW, MFC-L2750DW and MFC-L2750DW XL
• DCP series: DCP-L2550DW

These printers ship with a low-yield starter cartridge. You can install a TN760 from day one, and you should: it costs a little more than a TN730 but prints about 2.5 times as many pages. The super-high-yield TN770 (about 4,500 pages) fits only the HL-L2370DW/XL and MFC-L2750DW/XL; we sell a compatible TN770 at $44.95 for those models.

Not the same as the MFC-L2700DW. The older MFC-L2700DW, HL-L2300D, HL-L2340DW, HL-L2380DW, DCP-L2540DW and MFC-L2740DW use the previous-generation TN630/TN660 toner and DR630 drum. They look similar but are not interchangeable with TN730/TN760. We carry a compatible TN660 ($24.95) and DR630 drum ($34.95); see also what toner the HL-L2300D uses. The newer L2400 series, such as the HL-L2460DW, takes TN830 instead.

Brother TN760 prices compared: OEM vs Castle Ink vs other sellers

Prices checked November 2026 at the sellers' sites; they change often.

On TN760 the specialty sellers are within about two dollars of each other, and at $26.95 we are the lowest of them. LD Products and 4inkjets (the same company) charge $28.99 with a lifetime guarantee, which is a real plus, and CompAndSave is $28.95. The Staples store brand costs nearly three times as much, and the unbranded marketplace 2-pack works out to $45.50 a cartridge with no stated warranty. Beyond price, we ship the same day on orders placed by 4 PM ET Monday through Friday, offer a 1-year return window with a full refund, answer the phone in the US, and replace or refund any cartridge that arrives defective.

Our pick: compatible Brother TN760

The compatible TN760 at $26.95 is the toner we would put in any of these printers. It is newly manufactured (we sell toner as compatible, not remanufactured), rated at the same 3,000 pages as Brother's, and costs 0.9 cents a page. At 12,000 pages a year, a busy small office, you would use about four cartridges: roughly $393 with genuine TN760 against about $108 with ours. Run your own numbers with our cost-per-page calculator. The honest trade-off is that for large solid-black areas such as logos, genuine toner can be slightly more even; for text and everyday documents, most people will not see a difference.

What to order. New printer owner: two TN760 cartridges, installing one when the starter runs out. Printer asking for a drum: a TN760 plus a DR730 drum ($28.95) together, which is a full refresh for $55.90 and clears the $50 free-shipping threshold.

Brother's firmware stance, the reset gear and the DR730 drum

Brother is the one major printer maker that has said on the record its firmware does not block third-party supplies. In March 2025 it told The Register that "Brother firmware updates do not block the use of third-party ink and toner cartridges," while recommending genuine supplies for best results (The Register). Some owners have still reported problems after updates, so turning off automatic firmware updates is a sensible precaution; see how to control printer firmware updates.

The TN760 tells the printer it is new with a mechanical reset gear rather than an authentication chip, which is part of why compatibles install without special steps. If "Replace Toner" stays on after you install a new cartridge, take the toner out of the drum unit, reseat it until it clicks, put the assembly back and close the cover. Brother printers also have a Continue mode that keeps printing after "Replace Toner" appears, but it resets to Stop whenever a cartridge is changed (Brother manual).

The DR730 drum is rated at about 12,000 pages, roughly four TN760 cartridges. Don't confuse the two messages: "Replace Toner" means the TN760 is empty; "Replace Drum" or "Drum End Soon" is about the DR730. When the drum message appears and prints still look clean, you can reset the drum counter: with the front cover open, press and hold OK (or use the drum reset option on touchscreen models) until the counter clears. Replace the drum when you see faded patches, a gray background, repeating dots or lines, or ghosting. A compatible DR730 is $28.95 against $129.49 for Brother's.

Using compatible toner does not void a Brother warranty; Brother's warranty excludes damage caused by non-Brother supplies, not their use. See does compatible toner void the warranty?

How to choose a TN760 or TN730 cartridge

• Buy TN760, not TN730. It fits the same printers, holds 2.5 times the toner and costs less per page.
• Only the HL-L2370DW/XL and MFC-L2750DW/XL take the larger TN770; everyone else should stop at TN760.
• Check your model. MFC-L2700DW and other L2300-era printers take TN660, and the L2400 series takes TN830.
• Replace the drum on print quality, not on the counter. Reset the counter if prints are still clean.
• Turn off automatic firmware updates as a precaution, even though Brother says its updates do not block compatibles.
• Expect real-world yields below 3,000 pages if you print graphics or heavy solid areas.
