Brother HL-L2460DW toner and drum
Your HL-L2460DW takes the TN830 (standard yield) and TN830XL (high yield), plus the DR830 drum. At our price that is about 1.1¢ a page.
The Brother HL-L2460DW is a mono laser printer in the HL-L2400 series, which shares cartridges across 7 models.
It takes two black cartridges that differ only in capacity: the TN830 at about 1,200 pages and the TN830XL at about 3,000. At our prices that is 2.5¢ a page against 1.1¢, so the high-yield cartridge costs less to run unless you print very little.
The drum is a separate part on this printer. The DR830 is rated for about 15,000 pages, so it outlasts several toner cartridges and only needs replacing when the printer reports drum life, not every time you change toner.
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.
