Brother TN341 & Brother TN346 Toner Cartridges

Expected page output and toner replacement cycles

Page yields are calculated using ISO/IEC 19798 standards based on 5% page coverage. Upgrading from standard TN341 cartridges (2,500 Black / 1,500 Colour pages) to high-yield TN346 cartridges (4,000 Black / 3,500 Colour pages) significantly extends replacement intervals for busy offices.

Choosing between genuine and compatible Brother toners

Third-party toners offer substantial savings without sacrificing print density or cartridge reliability. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Read our detailed guide comparing genuine and compatible cartridges to determine which option suits your workplace needs.

Best strategies to order and stock your toners

If your office prints predominantly black text invoices, ordering single TN346 Black toners alongside standard TN341 colour units prevents excess inventory holding. If you produce marketing collaterals with heavy graphics, multi-packs deliver the lowest overall cost. Compatible options come backed by a complete money-back guarantee for complete peace of mind.

Pro Tip

Always maintain one backup Black TN346 toner even if you primarily print in colour. Colour laser printers perform routine internal printhead calibration and cleaning routines using black toner, causing it to deplete faster than colour cartridges during regular operation.

Match Your Printing Habits to the Right Brother TN-341 Toner Cartridge Pack

If all your colours are running low, the 4-Pack TN-341 Genuine (from $621.04) covers every colour in one order and qualifies for free delivery.

Want longer between reorders? The 4-Pack TN-341 Genuine (from $937.23) gives the same full-colour coverage with a higher page yield per cartridge and also qualifies for free delivery.

If only one colour has run dry, there's no need to replace the rest - a single Genuine TN-341BK cartridge (from $153.69) is the lowest-cost way to keep printing.

Watching the budget? Compatible cartridges match the fit and yield of genuine ink at a lower price, from $37.84 for a single TN-346BK cartridge.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mix TN341 standard and TN346 high-yield cartridges in the same printer?

Yes, you can freely mix standard TN341 and high-yield TN346 cartridges across different colour slots. The printer recognizes each cartridge individually regardless of capacity.

Why does cyan, magenta, or yellow toner run down even when printing Black documents?

Brother colour laser printers use tiny amounts of colour toner during composite black rendering and background registration alignment, ensuring black text remains sharp and aligned.

How do high-yield TN346 cartridges differ physically from standard TN341 units?

Both TN341 and TN346 cartridges share identical outer dimensions to fit the same printer carriage slots. The high-yield TN346 simply contains a larger reservoir of toner powder inside.

Is TN-346 the same as TN346?

Yes - TN-346 and TN346 refer to the exact same high-yield Brother toner cartridge; the hyphen is just a formatting variation used interchangeably by Brother and retailers.
