Brother HL-2130 HL-2132 HL-2135W Toner Cartridges
Shop toner cartridges for your Brother HL-2130, HL-2132, and HL-2135W, which use the Brother TN-2230 and TN-2250 toner cartridge series along with DR-2225 drum units. Ink Depot has supplied reliable consumables for these printers since Oct 2012. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance. Switching from standard-yield TN-2030 options to high-yield TN-2250 cartridges lowers per-page printing costs during heavy text runs.
Expected page output and cartridge life
Yields are based on standard ISO/IEC 19752 testing for Black laser cartridges at 5% coverage. High-yield TN-2250 cartridges offer more than double the prints of standard TN-2030 cartridges, making them far more cost-effective for everyday document printing.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TN-2030 | Standard | Black | 1,000 | $0.080 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Choosing between genuine and compatible options
Standard genuine Brother toners deliver predictable factory performance, while compatible alternatives offer substantial cost savings without compromising document sharpness. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Read our guide on genuine vs compatible cartridges to determine which option fits your printing budget best.
Managing the DR-2225 drum unit
The DR-2225 drum unit is separate from the toner cartridge and typically lasts through roughly four to five high-yield TN-2250 toner replacements. Experience Tip: If your printer displays a drum replacement prompt after installing a new DR-2225, perform a manual drum counter reset via the front control button with the front cover open to clear the message.
Stocking up and delivery options
Buying TN-2250 multipacks or compatible cartridges is an effective way to minimise printing expense, supported by a money-back guarantee on compatible items as detailed in our returns policy. We dispatch orders directly from warehouses located in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide for fast arrival across Australia. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99.

Pro Tip
Do not replace the DR-2225 drum unit every time your toner runs out; toner cartridges click directly into the drum frame, which only requires replacement after approximately 12,000 pages when print clarity begins to diminish or develop faint grey streaking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the Brother HL-2130, HL-2132, and HL-2135W all use the same toner cartridges?
Yes, all three models in this series share the same TN-2030 and TN-2250 toner cartridges as well as the DR-2225 drum unit.
Can I use a high-yield TN-2250 cartridge if my printer previously used a standard TN-2030?
Yes, the TN-2250 has identical outer dimensions to the TN-2030 and fits into the exact same DR-2225 drum housing, simply containing more toner for greater output.
Do I need to replace the DR-2225 drum unit every time I change the TN-2250 toner?
No, the drum unit has an independent 12,000-page rating and generally lasts through four to five high-yield toner cartridges before needing replacement.
What should I do if the printer displays a toner warning after installing a new cartridge?
Ensure the toner cartridge is firmly clicked into the green locking lever of the DR-2225 drum assembly, and gently slide the built-in tab across the drum unit several times to clean the primary corona wire.
