Brother MFC-L5750DW Printer - brother.com

The Brother MFC-L5750DW doesn't actually use traditional "ink" like inkjet printers. It's a laser printer, so it uses toner cartridges instead.

There are two main toner cartridges you'll need for your MFC-L5750DW:

Black toner cartridge: This is the most important one, as it's used for all your black and white printing. Brother offers two options for this:
- TN-3430: Standard capacity, prints approximately 3,000 pages.
- TN-3480: High capacity, prints approximately 8,000 pages.
Drum unit: This component holds the toner and transfers it to the paper. The drum unit (DR-3400) has a lifespan of approximately 50,000 pages and doesn't typically need frequent replacement unless you experience issues.

Here are some things to consider when choosing toner cartridges:

Original vs. compatible: Original Brother cartridges are generally more expensive but offer guaranteed quality and reliability. Compatible cartridges are often cheaper but may not deliver the same performance or lifespan.
Capacity: If you print a lot, especially in black and white, opting for the high-capacity toner cartridges can save you money in the long run.
Price: Compare prices from different retailers before making a purchase. You can find good deals online and sometimes even at office supply stores.
