Brother HL-5470DW Toner Cartridges
Shop toner cartridges for your Brother HL-5470DW, which uses the Brother TN-3310, TN-3340 and TN-3360 toner cartridge series along with DR-3325 drum units. Designed for high-speed monochrome office printing, this workhorse printer relies on consistent toner replenishment. Ink Depot has supplied consumables for this printer since Sep 2012. Upgrading from standard TN-3310 Black cartridges to high-yield TN-3340 options reduces replacement frequency during heavy document runs. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles
Standard TN-3310 Black cartridges yield 3,000 pages, whereas high-yield TN-3340 Black cartridges deliver up to 8,000 pages based on ISO/IEC 19752 testing standards for monochrome laser printers. Choosing higher-capacity cartridges decreases overall printing expenses and minimizes replacement frequency during large document production.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TN-3310 | Standard | Black | 3,000 | $0.057 |
| TN-3340 | High Yield | Black | 8,000 | $0.037 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Cartridges
High-volume office environments can choose between OEM Brother cartridges and quality compatible replacements. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Compatible TN-3340 toner cartridges offer identical page yield to genuine items at a substantially lower cost per page. Read our detailed genuine vs compatible cartridges guide to decide which option best matches your workplace requirements.
DR-3325 Drum Unit Replacements
Monochrome Brother laser printers split the imaging system into two separate components: the toner cartridge and the drum unit. The DR-3325 drum unit is rated for approximately 30,000 pages and operates independently of the TN-3340 toner cartridge.
Experience Tip: The DR-3325 drum unit typically outlasts three to four high-yield TN-3340 toner cartridges before needing replacement.
Best Way to Stock These Cartridges
High-volume document workflows benefit from keeping spare TN-3340 high-yield cartridges on hand alongside a replacement DR-3325 drum. If you switch to low-cost compatible cartridges, remember that all compatible items include a money-back guarantee for peace of mind. Check our returns policy for details.

Pro Tip
Do not replace your DR-3325 drum unit when the printer prompts for a new toner cartridge-the drum unit operates on a separate 30,000-page cycle counter, so replacing toner and drum units independently avoids unnecessary spending.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install a high-yield TN-3340 cartridge if my printer originally came with a TN-3310 standard cartridge?
Yes. Both TN-3310 and TN-3340 cartridges share identical exterior dimensions and fit into the exact same drum unit assembly slot inside the printer.
How do I know whether I need to replace the TN-3340 toner or the DR-3325 drum unit?
The printer issues distinct alert messages on display for toner depletion versus drum end-of-life. Toner exhaustion causes faint text across the page, while an aging drum unit typically shows repeated vertical lines or dark smudges.
Will replacing the toner cartridge automatically reset the DR-3325 drum unit counter?
No. The drum unit maintains its own separate page count independently from the toner cartridge, and resetting the drum life counter requires a manual reset prompt on the printer menu when physical drum replacement occurs.
