It’s new cartridge Tuesday at Pacific Ink! This week we are happy to announce the release of compatible cartridges that replace the Brother TN-04 series. These cartridges are priced at $139.99 (black) and $129.99 (color). Retail stores carry the Brother brand product at $152.99 (black) and $147.99 (color).

These 100% compatible cartridges replace the Brother TN-04BK black, TN-04C cyan, TN-04M magenta, and TN-04Y yellow. They are designed for use in the following Brother multifunction printers:

Brother HL-2700CN
Brother HL-2700
Brother MFC-9420CN
Brother MFC-9420

The black ink cartridge yields up to 10,000 pages, while each of the colors yields 6,000 pages. These pages yields are based on 5% page coverage when using A4/Letter sized paper. The black toner cartridge has a higher yield because it contains more toner powder. This is because black is the key color for monochrome (black and white) and color printing. Each of the individual colors (cyan, magenta, yellow) mix together to form all of the colors you see on your printed page.

After extensive testing our compatible TN-04 cartridges offer the same quality print as you would expect from the Brother manufactured cartridges. You can expect correct color matching that will product prints that match the color you see on your computer screen, even ink distribution that will spread the ink evenly across the page to give a better looking print, and anti smearing formulation that will prevent your pages from smearing while they are printing. Printers come with an automatic delay time between pages to also prevent a page from smearing when the next page comes out on top of it.
