SOL Corp (Non-OEM) 2 Pack REFILL KIT for use in Brother TN-450 TN450 Toner for HL-2230 HL-2240 HL-2240D HL-2270DW

When I was a young man, I paid nearly $50 for the manufacturer's replacement cartridges. Then, I grew up and started buying "compatible" cartridges at around $18 each. Now, I am older and wiser, and I use these refill kits at a cost of about 5 bucks apiece. As the old saying goes, we get too soon old, and too late smart. MY SECRET TO SUCCESS (AND CLEAN HANDS) IS SIMPLE: Buy yourself a large plastic kitchen funnel (they're about 5 bucks at your local market) and use that to pour the toner into your old cartridge. The nozzle on these bottle caps is much too small. I fill the cartridges over a trash can, so I don't care if a little toner spills. (Also: bring a couple of wet paper towels or napkins with you, so you can wipe the kitchen funnel -- and your hands -- clean before you go back in the house.) I have used several refills so far, and absolutely NO PROBLEMS WITH MY PRINTER. (The toner light stays on, but who cares?) At this price --- and with the amount of printing that I am doing --- I could buy a new printer every month, and I'd still be saving money.

I bought this product to use in my brother printer, it worked fill, but the problem is that the funnel is leaking the ink out when you put in on the bottle to refill, it is leaking the toner under the rim. The bottle when you are filling sucks in so you have to squeeze it gentle and kept turning it to get the ink out, other than that it is not bad for the money, I use an entire bottle and it is working fine, the print quality is good, just like the original. I would definitely recommend this problem, I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't 4 the funnel leakage. Hope this helps!!!

This product can be used in the "LD PRODUCT.com" TN450 cartridge. One thing to know is the rest gear is NOT, I REPEAT, NOT like the brother reset gear. Any attempt to remove the cover on the side results in the reset spring to POP-OUT of the cover: the cover that is held by two screws. It took me 4 hours to figure out how to get it back together. I had an identical one on hand and looked at it from all angles and requires a very, very thin needle nose pliers to get things put back together properly. A royal pain in the Back-side. The print out from this toner works great in the "Brother HL-2240 D" printer. No smudges or globs on the printout and quite clean. Please note: though the cartridge may print out 2600 pages at 5% page coverage, on average, you will NOT get that number of pages If graphics are involved. There is a tendency of getting less 2600 pages from the cartridge. Note 2: When refilling any cartridge, you must have patience and very little force squeezing the toner out of the bottle. It is best to use a wide open nozzle and roll the bottle from side to side and do this outside and not in the house-very difficult to clean up. Note 3: use an air-gun or air compressor and blow out all remaining toner; don't mix what came inside with the new toner you are refilling it with. Also, blow out the drum unit too. Tapping the cartridge will help dislodge any toner inside--just don't drop the cartridge.

These are a real money saver. I have purchased these a couple of times to refill our Brother printers. I always keep a couple of these on hand so I don't need to wait to refill if needed. These kits have saved us a ton of money. I went online and found a video on how to refill my cartridge. If you have a starter cartridge you will want to buy a refill kit with the new gear and plastic piece to hold the new gear in place. If you have the starter cartridge using the toner alone will not get you the results you desire. You MUST buy the kit with the gear. If you have the gear GET these. The print quality is excellent. I refilled my first one by vacuuming out the cartridge, cleaning the roller and all that. With the following ones I didn't worry too much. Just emptied out the remaining toner and gave it a few taps before refilling. Since I use the same toner for all my refills all I need to do is pop the plug, fill up and reset the gear. After that we are back to printing. Now it takes about 5 minutes to from start to finish. I am so glad I found out about refilling my cartridges. Save money and do it yourself!

We have now purchased this item twice, and we love it! It prints great and is easy to refill our cartridges with. We did not see a difference between this and the OEM starter toner our printer came with. I see other people are saying it is low quality, but I don't see this at all. I am a Top Rated Powerseller on Ebay and I use this to print all my labels. They look nice and professional. I recently printed a 500 page book as well, and this toner was a trooper, printing well throughout the entire process. I highly recommend buying this and saving money!!

I received this toner refill in the mail yesterday. It arrived quickly. This is my first time using a refill so I had to look at YouTube videos online to see how it was done. It came with instructions but i wanted to see how it was physically done. Fortunately, my toner cartridge, which was a non OEM replacement, already included an easily accessible refill hole on the side with a cap, so I didn't need to worry about creating a hole. Refill was super easy, but messy. I knew it would be messy, so being extra careful, toner still managed to escape. I refilled mine over the bathroom sink with the fan on so as to potentially limit the amount of particles that might escape into the air reaching anything that someone might ingest. Others have suggested doing this outside, and I might try that next time, but I was also concerned about any gusts of wind sabotaging the process. Also, it's nearly impossible to see whether you have emptied out the refill bottle, so there was a little bit left at the end that I just didn't bother with. I kept squeezing the bottle very slowly towards the end because the particles would shoot out of the refill hole if I squeezed with too much force. I was able to reset my toner's cartridge by moving the gears to trick the printer into thinking I installed a new cartridge using the method in the YouTube video. I printed out a few test pages and everything worked. I will update this review after I use this refill toner a while because I can't attest to the quality yet. Note: I received two bottles of toner, but I only used one bottle for the refill making the cost of refill just a tiny fraction of the cost of a replacement toner cartridge from Brother! I also received gloves but did not end up using it because they were too large and I usually find that I can't really control my movements with the gloves anyway. I also didn't bother cleaning the cartridge as some videos suggest because mine looked pretty clean already and I didn't want to create more of a mess or break something. I simply wiped the cartridge down with a slightly damp sponge after the refill process since some toner managed to escape. I'm also glad that the refill means there is one less cartridge that ends up in a landfill.

I have a Brother 2270DW and I am so happy I went with this refill for a few dollars rather than buying a whole new one from Brother for ~$70 or even an off-brand replacement. No need! It took me only about 10 minutes total to refill the toner the very first time and I'm guessing I'll be able to cut that in half the next time since now I know the drill. And I don't have to deal with the messy after-math of properly recycling the toner cartridge because it's still in my machine. Because I get to just reuse the components of my machine rather than ending up with a random spare part that can't just be recycled normally and sheds black stuff everywhere, I DEFINITELY saved a lot of time and energy refilling the toner instead. Based on other reviews I used a piece of paper taped into a funnel to dispense the toner. Because I made the funnel tip just slightly smaller than the opening, it flowed in without getting clogged often, and I'd say that the actual step of putting the toner in took less than a minute. Disassembling the toner cartridge took me far longer than filling the cartridge. (FYI, the "toner" unit that slides out of the 2270DW is two pieces that need to be taken apart before you can access the cap that the toner goes into. It was under a piece of tape warning me that I was voiding the warranty by breaking the tape). My printed pages look great - no different than pages printed with the original OEM toner. I'll use these again every time without hesitation and will recommend that friends and family do the same.

Worked great. Always messy job so consider this vs buying complete cartridge
