The Brother TN360 Toner Cartridge is an upgraded version of the TN350, which holds a greater amount of ink for a higher page output. It is compatible with 6 models of Brother Printer: the DCP-7030, DCP-7040, HL-2140, HL-2170W, MFC-7440N, and MFC-7840W. As a simple snap-in cartridge, it is easy to install. High quality ink produces deep black color and can create subtle variations of grays.

Where the TN350 has an advertised output of approximately 2500 pages, the Brother TN360 Toner Cartridge can produce an estimated 2600 pages. Actually, it can produce even more if you take advantage of some masking tape. Just place small pieces of making tape over the small holes in the cartridge before you install it. The printer determines when to tell you the toner cartridge is empty by shining a light into the holes and using it to read the level of ink remaining. However, it vastly undershoots the actual ink that remains. By covering the holes, you can trick the printer into thinking there’s plenty of ink left, and continue to print with the old cartridge until the ink starts to streak – in some cases, over one thousand pages later.

Customer reviews about the Brother TN360 Toner Cartridge have varied, but are largely positive. Most of the controversy lies in whether or not the cartridge is really “high yield,” as advertised. Many people argue that other Brother ink cartridges – namely, the TN570 and TN580 – have a far greater ink output than the TN360. However, these cartridges are not cross-compatible, so you don’t have much choice if you already own one of the models which the TN360 is compatible with. In any case, customers agree that the high yield cartridge is far superior to the low yield.

Overall, this toner cartridge is the clear choice if you own a printer model for which it is compatible. Make sure you tape up the holes in your old cartridge first, then don’t hesitate to order the Brother TN360 Toner Cartridge.
