Speedy delivery at a great price

I looked all around for a new toner cartridge for my Brother laser printer. Amazon had one of the best prices, and the fact that my purchase qualified for free shipping sealed the deal.
Poor Quality 
2007-11-17
Toner cartridge lasted 3 weeks. Suppose to be a Brother product. Suppose to provide 3500 printed pages. Maybe 1000 out of this one. Guess buying from the an office product store does make sense in some instances.
A Trick to extending yield 33-50% 
2007-09-28
This cartridge will disable your printer once it (the cartridge) tells your printer it's empty. The cartridge has a window that is closed (blocked) by toner. This window runs through the cartridge from one side to the other. When the toner is full, the window is blocked, when the toner is seemingly empty, a laser is able to shine through the cartridge one side to the other thus signaling to the printer to shut down for cartridge replacement. I have found that when you obstruct this window with a simple piece of masking tape, you will have at least 33-50% more toner left. I'll leave any manufacturer motive speculation up to you.
Get the High Yield TN580 instead 
2007-07-03
This toner cartridge currently has a yield of $.015 per page The Brother TN580 (7,000 YLD) High Yield Toner Cartridge has a yield of $.01 per page and will last twice as long, saving you on shipping and waste (toner cartridges take up a lot of space in trash dumps). No one should ever consider this cartridge over the high yield version if you want to save money.

What Are They Filled With? Baby Seals? Diamonds?

Who knows why toner cartridges have to cost so much? I bet they can make these for pennies on the dollar and they love selling them to gullible consumers. However, unless you can get better results with a can of Krylon spray paint and some beach sand, you're stuck buying whatever toner your manufacturer recommends.
The page yield is always given assuming 5% coverage...this is about a couple paragraphs of normal text. If you start printing pics or graphics, expect the toner to run out a LOT quicker...
Anyways, this works and it hasn't caught fire yet, so it's worth an average rating.
