Choosing Between Genuine and Compatible Options
Genuine Brother toner cartridges are manufactured specifically for the Brother MFC-L9570CDW, while premium compatible cartridges provide a more affordable option for everyday business printing. Using compatible cartridges does not automatically remove your rights under Australian Consumer Law. Ink Depot compatible cartridges are covered by a money-back performance guarantee if they do not install, register or perform as expected. Read our genuine vs compatible cartridges guide to compare the available options.
Managing Drum, Belt and Waste Toner Components
The Brother MFC-L9570CDW uses separate toner and maintenance components. The DR-441CL drum unit, BU-330CL belt unit and WT-320CL waste toner box operate independently from the Brother TN446 cartridges and are replaced only when required. This means a drum, belt or waste toner warning may appear even when the toner cartridges still contain toner.
Experience Tip: When replacing the DR-441CL drum unit, follow the instructions displayed by the printer and reset the drum counter only after a new drum has been installed.
Best Way to Stock These Cartridges
Workgroups producing large volumes of reports, invoices and correspondence may benefit from keeping an additional Brother TN446 black cartridge available. Businesses regularly printing presentations, charts and marketing documents may prefer a complete colour set or multi-pack so each replacement colour is ready when required.
Compatible cartridges are covered by a money-back performance guarantee. If you order the wrong product, review the available options through our returns policy. Free delivery applies on orders over $99, with products dispatched from distribution centres in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Pro Tip
The Brother MFC-L9570CDW uses separate black, cyan, magenta and yellow cartridges, allowing each colour to be replaced individually. Keeping a spare black cartridge is useful for text-heavy workplaces, while a complete colour set can help prevent interruptions when producing regular colour reports and presentations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to replace the DR-441CL drum whenever I change a Brother TN446 cartridge?
No. The DR-441CL drum unit and Brother TN446 toner cartridges are separate consumables with independent replacement cycles. You will normally replace several toner cartridges before the printer indicates that the drum unit requires replacement.
What should I do if the printer still shows Replace Toner after installing a new cartridge?
Confirm that the correct Brother TN446 cartridge has been installed in the appropriate colour position and that all protective packaging has been removed. Remove and reinstall the cartridge firmly according to the Brother replacement instructions. If the message remains, contact Ink Depot for assistance.
Why are colour cartridges used when I mainly print black documents?
Colour toner may still be consumed during printer calibration and maintenance processes. Some documents that appear black may also be processed as composite colour unless the printer driver is set to monochrome or black-and-white printing. Actual colour usage therefore depends on the selected print settings and the documents being produced.
