Genuine Brother laser toner cartridges work best with our system design

Each component of a Brother Laser product is designed to work with the other. Here are the benefits of using Brother laser toners over imitations:

Print Resolution and Image Quality

Toner particle size, shape and colour pigmentation all have a direct impact on the sharpness and graininess of the printed image. Genuine Brother toner is formulated to meet high-quality resolution, grey scale and solid fill images, in line with the product design specifications.

Gloss finish

Toner particles are combined with a polymeric binder that holds the toner pigment in place in the final image. The binder also provides gloss to images. Genuine Brother toner is delicately balanced to provide even flow and toner distribution onto the paper.

Bonding of toner to paper

Toner particles must be heated above their melting point in order for them to flow onto the paper, cool and become solid. Each Brother laser product is designed to reach a pre-set heating temperature based on the genuine Brother toner formula. The preset temperature may differ from model to model, due to the product design specifications.
