What toner does the Brother HL-3150CDN need, and 1 compatible model

Looking for toner for your Brother HL-3150CDN or MFC-9130CW? The consumable you need is the Brother TN241 / TN251. Our compatible version yields 2,500 pages per colour with the same print quality as the original, and costs a fraction of the price. See the compatible Brother TN241/TN251 colour toner.

Is it compatible with your printer?

The TN241/TN251 series is the one fitted to these Brother colour machines. If you have either of these two models, this is your toner:

• Brother HL-3150CDN
• Brother MFC-9130CW

Although they are different machines, they share the same consumable system. The difference is in the type of machine and its letters: the HL-3150CDN is a colour laser printer for printing only, where the C indicates colour, the D duplex (automatic double-sided printing) and the N a wired network connection (Ethernet). The MFC-9130CW is an all-in-one (MFC = it prints, scans, copies and sends faxes), with C for colour and W for wifi to print wirelessly. Different format, same cartridge.

The consumable you need and what it yields

These printers are colour, so they work with four toners: black, cyan, magenta and yellow (CMYK). Our compatible Brother TN241/TN251 colour toner yields 2,500 pages per colour cartridge, measured to the ISO/IEC 19798 standard, the international benchmark that sets how the life of a colour toner is calculated by printing a standard document. It's the same criterion the original manufacturer uses, so the yield is comparable fairly.

The TN241/TN251 family corresponds to Brother's colour references for these machines: the numbering changes according to the market, but the cartridge is interchangeable in your machine. Replace only the colour that has run out; there's no need to change all four at once.

How much printing costs you

The advantage of a compatible toner is simple: the same yield of 2,500 pages per colour, for much less money. You pay for printing, not for the brand stamped on the box. With the original, each colour replacement takes a good part of your budget; with our compatible version, you print the same and the cost per page drops noticeably.

If you want to see the saving with your own numbers, use our savings calculator: enter how much you print and you'll see the difference versus the factory cartridge. And if you have doubts about exactly which reference your machine takes, try the printer finder. Instead of paying the original's figure, check the current price of our compatible version.

Frequently asked questions

Does this toner definitely work in my Brother HL-3150CDN or MFC-9130CW?

Yes. The compatible TN241/TN251 toner is made to fit and work in both models, the HL-3150CDN and the MFC-9130CW, which share the same consumable system. It installs like the original and your printer recognises it without problems. If you want to confirm it, use the printer finder.

How many pages does each cartridge print?

Each colour toner yields 2,500 pages to the ISO/IEC 19798 standard. It's a figure measured with a standard reference document; your real yield may vary according to the document type and the ink coverage of each page, but it lets you compare fairly with the original.

Does using a compatible toner void my printer's warranty?

No. Using compatible consumables does not void your machine's warranty. Article 120 of RLD 1/2007 (the General Law for the Defence of Consumers and Users) protects your warranty; the manufacturer cannot force you to use only its brand. You can check the details on our guarantee page. In addition, we back our toners with a 3-year guarantee.

We ship within 24-48 hours to mainland Spain, and shipping is free from €50. You receive your toner ready to install in a couple of working days.
