Rosewill RTCA-TN650 Black High Yield Toner Cartridge replace TN650 TN620

Pros: Reasonable price, works

Cons: Kind of cheaply made. "missed spots", not as good as OEM, but price-wise...

Other Thoughts: Purchased 2, still using first one, and it's used every day (wife is a coupon-er...) I use it for work as well. has been reliable. Some missed spots (RARE) would require reprinting if for bar-code or presentation use. Perfect for everyday printing tho

Pros: For my Brother DCP-8080 DN ... this cartridge lasted as long as the Brother high capacity cartridge, and printed about the same number of pages.

Cons: First one I bought didn't quite fit and for a month I thought that I had a lemon, but just before the time to RMA it was up I re-tried the install and it fit. It fits snugly, but it does fit a Brother DCP-8080 DN. This does leak a bit of toner when installed.

Other Thoughts: Just bought 2 more. If my printer ends up needing repair (as noted in a review below), I'll buy the necessary parts and install. In the meantime, I'm saving money on toner big time. For a big shop with lots of printers, however, I can see where this cartridge could be a hassle.

Pros: Half the price of OEM.
This high-yield model is a better value than TN620.

Cons: Lower quality, tends to run out faster than OEM, semi-frequent DOAs

Other Thoughts: Our company goes through at least 10 of these a month; Often the printer believes they're empty long before they actually are. Here's how to reset your toner:

MFC-8000 series:
Open toner door, press Clear/Back
LCD will say REPLACE DRUM - 1.YES 2.NO
Press 1
LCD should show ACCEPTED; close toner door

HL-5000 series:
Turn off printer; open toner door
hold GO button; power printer on
All lights will turn on. Keep holding GO until the Status light turns off
Press GO twice. Lights should turn back on
Press GO 6x; status light should turn red.
Close the toner door

Rosewill toner is notorious for being misread as empty. These steps have saved us significantly.

Pros: It does the job. Bought a lot of these toners. Only 1 had an issue out of 10+ and Newegg replaced for a new working toner without hassle. Fits well into our MFC 8480 Brother Printer. Runs for 6800 - 7200 pages (basically as advertized)
Very cheap! 2x less than Brother toner on Newegg. 3-4x cheaper than in store.

Cons: Leaves ink dust around during unpacking and installation.

Pros: Normally they work great.

Cons: Printer said "replace toner." I took the old one out and put the new one in and it still said "replace toner. Apparently, the new one was empty.

Other Thoughts: I always keep a spare - you know the whole plan ahead thing. Had this sitting on my shelf for 4 months and still got stuck without a toner cartridge. Couldn't print for 2 hours till someone could go to town and get one locally for triple the price. Serious bummer.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Could not get to work with my printer (HL-5340D)

Other Thoughts: I've had pretty good luck with Rosewill products, including some of their other toners

Pros: It seems to be good toner; no problems on 4 cartridges; just ordered 5 more.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: I have seen (and bought) products where the ratings are too high and the praise is too effusive, and it seems clear that the manufacturer has shills. This seems to be happening more and more often. I think that here we see the opposite, where some negative reviews are not genuine. This would probably be hard for Newegg to control, but it corrupts and discredits the rating system.

Pros: Price is nearly 1/3 of the genuine stuff

Cons: We have 6 MFC-8480DN in the office. We go through about 8 or more TN650 high yield toners a month. I often placed orders that are over $600 or more in geniune TN650 toners(Newegg can check my order history as proof). One day I decided to try out these Rosewill toners to keep cost down. I've read the reviews on these toners and they were not pretty, but what the heck, I use Rosewill stuffs(PC parts) all the time and they are pretty good. My first impression like everyone else, the toner does not "lock click" in place, no problem I don't mind. The quality of the print are indentical to the geniune stuff. BUT....after 1 week of use, I noticed several machines started to make loud "CLICK" sound when they print. Again, I did not think much of it. As we kept printing, the loud "CLICK" were followed by paper jams. Soon after, the printers would just "click click click" and jam constantly, like it were unable to pick up the paper from the tray.

Other Thoughts: Continue from above-
Now this is happening to 3 of our 6 machines. I called Brother tech support. They said it's because we were using non-geniune toner cartridges. I still did not believe Brother, I think they just want us to buy their stuff. Anyways, I googled the problem. It seems that there is a history of this happening when using generic toners. The generic cartrigdes uses inferior gears. This causes the drive gears in the machine to crack, thus making it unable to pick up the paper. That is exactly what happened when we opened them up. All 3 affect machines had cracked gears. We had to order the gears from Brother and replaced them. Yes Roswell makes good PC parts, but these toners are cr*p. Do yourself a favor and get the geniune stuff! I still have 5 new Roswell toners, anyone want them??

Pros: Cheap
Ships fast
That we only have ONE machine that needed these.

Cons: Won't work
Won't lock in properly to the drum assy.
Screams LOW TONER after about 2 days
That we had a machine that needed these and I bought three.
Did I mention it won't work ?

Other Thoughts: Ok, I have had good luck with other Rosewill products in the past but this is a lemon.

It won't even fit properly into the drum assy and they is a small "tab" built into the OE cartridge to lock it down that this one is missing, hence the misfit. I work I.T. and had to come in on a Saturday to change a toner cartridge ! I had only been in about a week. I put a brand new one out of the box and it still insisted the the tone was out. I tried several reset methods recomended by the Brother website and nada. I even ran a diagnostic on the machine and it all came out good. The machine is only about 4 months old so the OE toner had just been used up the week before. So Monday morning I head to my local office supply store for a "tripple the price" OE cartridge and it works just fine. We tried to get use out of the off brand toner by "resetting" the machine with the OE toner and then swapping out with the off brand one. That works for about 10 pages.

My time is worth more than that.

Pros: Cheaper with no loss of print quality
print capacity the same as OEM

Cons: seats in drum tray well but doesn't "lock-in"

Other Thoughts: since September 2010 I have run through 8 of these with no problems....thought everyone would like to know

using Brother MFC-8480DN
