Brother TN430 — 3,000 pages, $71.39; Brother TN460 — 6,000 pages, $100.55. The larger cartridges cost more up front but print more pages per dollar — if you print more than a few hundred pages a month, the higher-yield option usually has the lowest cost per page.
Toner and drum
Brother printers use a separate drum unit. The Brother HL-P2500 takes the Brother DR400, rated for about 20,000 pages — replace it when the printer shows "Replace Drum" or prints show repeating marks, then reset the drum counter.
Why use genuine Brother toner
Original Brother cartridges are built and tested for the Brother HL-P2500: the printer reads toner levels correctly, print quality and page yield match Brother's ratings, and your printer warranty is not affected. Every cartridge we sell is factory-sealed original Brother — never refilled, never compatible.
