Brother HL-L6250DW toner and drum
Your HL-L6250DW takes the TN890 (high yield), TN880 (high yield) and TN850 (high yield), plus the DR890 drum. At our price that is about 0.1¢ a page.
The Brother HL-L6250DW is a mono laser printer in the HL-L6200 series, which shares cartridges across 7 models.
It takes 3 cartridges: the TN890, TN880 and TN850.
The drum is a separate part on this printer. The DR890 is rated for about 50,000 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.

Questions about the HL-L6250DW
What toner does the Brother HL-L6250DW use?
The TN890, TN880 and TN850. Brother lists these cartridges as compatible with this model, and the yields on this page are Brother's published figures.
Does the HL-L6250DW have a separate drum?
Yes. The DR890 drum unit is a separate part rated for about 50,000 pages. Replace it when the printer reports drum life, not when you change toner.

No. Under the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act a manufacturer cannot void your warranty because you used a third-party cartridge. If one of ours damages the printer, our printer damage protection covers the repair.
