What toner does the Brother HL-L9430CDN need, plus 3 compatible models

Looking for toner for your Brother HL-L9430CDN, HL-L9470CDN, MFC-L9630CDN or MFC-L9670CDN? The consumable you need is the Brother TN881XL / TN821XL. Our compatible version yields 9,000 pages with the same print quality, and costs a fraction of the original. See the compatible toner.

Is it compatible with your printer?

The TN881XL (also referenced as TN821XL) is the toner series fitted by these four professional-grade colour laser machines. They all share exactly the same consumable, so if you own any of these models, this is your cartridge:

• Brother HL-L9430CDN
• Brother HL-L9470CDN
• Brother MFC-L9630CDN
• Brother MFC-L9670CDN

What changes between them? The letters say it all: the HL models are print-only machines, while the MFC models are multifunction, meaning they print, scan, copy and send faxes. The letters CDN stand for Colour, automatic Duplex (double-sided printing) and Network (wired network connection). The model number marks the level of speed and features, but on all of them the toner is the same. If you have doubts about your machine, identify it in a moment with our printer finder.

The consumable you need and what it yields

The compatible Brother TN881XL / TN821XL colour toner yields 9,000 pages according to the ISO/IEC 19798 standard, the industry benchmark for measuring colour performance. It offers the same coverage and sharpness as the factory cartridge. The "XL" designation indicates it is the high-capacity version: it is designed for high print volumes, reduces the number of cartridge changes and lowers the cost per page.

These machines work with one black toner and three colour toners (cyan, magenta and yellow). On the product page you can select the colour you need to replace and fit it without tools: it clicks into place just like the original, until you hear the click.

How much printing costs you

Here is the key point: the compatible toner gives you the same 9,000 ISO page yield as the original, but for a fraction of its price. On machines with this kind of volume, where you replace cartridges frequently, the savings accumulated over the year are enormous. Use our savings calculator to see exactly how much you stop spending with the compatible version, and check the current price on the product page. You will find that colour printing stops being expensive.

Frequently asked questions

Is this toner compatible with my Brother L9000 series?
