Expected Page Output and Cartridge Yield
Brother rates TN-2430 and TN-2450 page yields under the ISO/IEC 19752 standard for monochrome laser printing at 5% coverage. High-yield TN-2450 cartridges print more than double the standard yield, lowering per-page printing costs for office workloads.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TN-2430 | Standard | Black | 1,200 | $0.075 |
| TN-2450 | High Yield | Black | 3,000 | $0.052 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Drum Unit vs Toner Cartridge Functionality
The TN-2430 and TN-2450 toner cartridges are separate components from the DR-2425 drum unit. When your printer alerts you to replace toner, you only need to change the toner cartridge; the drum unit typically lasts through three to four toner replacements before requiring replacement.
Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Options
Choosing third-party alternatives for the TN-2450 series significantly reduces your cost per page while maintaining crisp black output. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Read our genuine vs compatible cartridge guide to evaluate performance and reliability.
Selecting the Best Option and Stocking Strategy
For low-volume printing, standard TN-2430 cartridges cover light duty. High-volume business users save more by choosing high-yield TN-2450 options or value bundles. Compatible cartridges carry a money back guarantee for complete peace of mind. All orders are dispatched fast from our Australian warehouses in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is TN-2450 the same as TN2450?
Yes, TN-2450 and TN2450 refer to the exact same cartridge; the hyphen is simply a formatting variation used interchangeably by Brother and retailers.
Can I install a high-yield TN-2450 cartridge in a printer that came with a standard TN-2430?
Yes, all compatible Brother laser printers accept both standard TN-2430 and high-yield TN-2450 cartridges. The physical dimensions are identical, but the TN-2450 contains additional toner to output 3,000 pages compared to 1,200 pages.
Why does my printer still report low toner after installing a new TN-2450 cartridge?
This occurs when the toner cartridge gear mechanism does not reset the internal flag sensor during installation. Removing the cartridge, re-seating it firmly into the drum unit, and ensuring the front cover is closed completely will trigger the printer's optical sensor to recognise the new toner level.
