Brother HL-3040CW toner
Your HL-3040CW takes the TN210BK (standard yield), TN210C (standard yield), TN210M (standard yield) and TN210Y (standard yield). At our price that is about 0.9¢ a page.
The Brother HL-3040CW is a mono laser printer in the HL-3000C series, which shares cartridges across 5 models.
It takes 4 cartridges: the TN210BK, TN210C, TN210M and TN210Y.
Brother has stated publicly that its firmware updates do not block third-party cartridges, and the printer counts pages rather than measuring toner, which is why the Replace Toner message can appear before a cartridge is empty.
When you compare prices, compare cost per page rather than the sticker price: a cheaper cartridge with half the rated yield costs more to run. Every cartridge here ships free, is covered by our printer damage protection and can be returned within 90 days, opened or not.
