Chips, Printer Messages & Installation

Installing: open the top cover, lift out the empty cartridge for the color you are replacing, then rock the new cartridge gently side to side and remove its protective cover. Set it into the matching color slot until it seats and close the cover.

"Replace Toner" after a new cartridge: make sure the cartridge is fully seated in the correct color position and the cover is closed. These printers read toner level with a sensor, so a properly seated cartridge clears the message.

Toner vs. belt: this is the toner only. The OPC belt and fuser are separate maintenance parts with their own life.

Compatible vs. Remanufactured vs. Original

Original (OEM) toner is new from the printer brand and costs the most. Compatible toner, like this cartridge, is newly manufactured by a third party to the original's size and page-yield specifications, so it drops into the same slot at a much lower price. Remanufactured toner is an emptied original cartridge that has been rebuilt and refilled. Castle Ink sells compatible (newly manufactured) toner and remanufactured inkjet cartridges.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many pages does the Brother TN04 cyan print?

About 6,600 pages, based on Brother's rating for the original TN04C at roughly 5% coverage.

Can I replace one color at a time?

Yes. Each color is a separate cartridge, so replace only the one that is empty.

Will this void my printer warranty?

No. Under the U.S. Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act, a manufacturer can't void your printer warranty just because you used a third-party or remanufactured supply. If a non-original supply directly caused damage, that specific repair might not be covered.

How long can I store it?

Sealed toner keeps for about two years at room temperature. Keep it in its bag, away from heat and direct sunlight, and store it flat.

When will my order ship?

Orders placed by 4 PM ET, Monday through Friday, ship the same business day from Long Island, NY, by USPS (2–5 business days). Expedited 1–2 day delivery is available at checkout, and shipping is free on orders over $50.
