2.0 out of 5 stars I feel so ripped off..., August 27, 2009

My complaint isn't with the technical quality of the toner cartridge or the quality of the prints. But the person on here who suggested covering up the two windows on the cartridge to get more life out of it was absolutely correct. My printer stopped working because it was "out of toner," so I ordered a new toner cartridge. After reading the suggestion, I took two pieces of black electrical tape and covered the round windows on either side of the old cartridge. I have since gotten more than 200 perfect prints out of an "empty" printer cartridge. Perfect prints as in NO fading, NO streaks! I am putting my new cartridge on the shelf and waiting to break it out until the print quality on my "empty" cartridge finally starts to deteriorate.

Update: 300+ pages on the "empty" toner cartridge and still going strong.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great but compared to local office supply company, April 15, 2009

The product was $15.00 cheaper here, with free shipping. I would put non-clear tape over the clear windows on the toner to fully use up the ink in the cartridge. I did this and have not even opened the new one up yet and that was about 1.5 months ago.

4.0 out of 5 stars Brother TN-330 cartridge, January 15, 2010

After printing less than 1000 pages I got the message that cartridge is empty and needs to be replaced. Absolutely dissappointed (package said 1300 or 1500 pages) I started reading reviews here on Amazon. Thank you very much to whoever suggested covering up little clear circles on the sides of the cartridge. I did it and since then I got 300+ more pages out of my "empty" cartridge, and it's still going strong without even a bit of fading. I guess that's how Brother makes more money out of it by people bying new cartridges without questioning. Shame on the company, but nevertheless it's a good quality product, and price on Amazon is much lower than any supply store.
