When the Brother laser printers need a drum change—sooner than I’d like—that plus the next toner cartridge are disturbingly close to the cost of a replacement printer.
- rahimnathwani 5y agoIt's annoying how much drums cost here in the US. In China, you can buy third party drum units for $15, which makes sense when the actual drum cylinder costs only $3: https://m.tb.cn/h.fknJCKv?sm=88e645 https://m.tb.cn/h.fknJCKv?sm=88e645
- AuthorizedCust 5y agoThe Amazon reviews on third-party drums don’t give me confidence. Dig into the 2- and 1-star reviews, and you see a lot of quality or longevity issues.
- rahimnathwani 5y agoI've used third party drums on HP (colour) and Brother (black and white) printers. The only issue I had was printing on transparencies on the HP: the toner would smear instead of adhering. No issues printing on paper.
