Bigger is NOT better

Brother TN115BK High Yield Toner Cartridge - Black
Brother TN115BK High Yield Toner Cartridge - Black

Pros: Works for a few hundred pages.

Cons: Doesn't give half of the 5000 pages promised. Print quality WORSE than the TN110. Newegg's Price is not competitive with the guys with the smile on the box.

Overall Review: This printer came with the TN110 toner and I had good success for a while refilling that cartridge. When the print quality started to degrade I decided to pony up for a GENUINE Brother High-capacity (5000pg) TN115 cartridge to replace it. Less than six months and 1000 pages later, the cartridge is all but unusable. First, the density became very uneven across the page, then the toner started to leak and cause streaks. Further research has shown that this is a common problem with the high-capacity cartridge and that the low capacity TN110 is actually better, and may end up giving you MORE prints since it doesn't fail. It looks like there's a design flaw in the TN115s so I'm going back to the TN110.
