SOL Corp (Non-OEM) 2 Pack REFILL KIT for use in Brother TN-450 TN450 Toner for HL-2230 HL-2240 HL-2240D HL-2270DW

A new toner cartridge cost is well over $20 and the toner is usually low quality and filled approximately 50%-75%. One bottle of this product fills your cartridge all the way up with great quality.Just make sure you wear some type of protection because the process can be messy .

I received this toner refill in the mail yesterday. It arrived quickly. This is my first time using a refill so I had to look at YouTube videos online to see how it was done. It came with instructions but i wanted to see how it was physically done. Fortunately, my toner cartridge, which was a non OEM replacement, already included an easily accessible refill hole on the side with a cap, so I didn't need to worry about creating a hole. Refill was super easy, but messy. I knew it would be messy, so being extra careful, toner still managed to escape. I refilled mine over the bathroom sink with the fan on so as to potentially limit the amount of particles that might escape into the air reaching anything that someone might ingest. Others have suggested doing this outside, and I might try that next time, but I was also concerned about any gusts of wind sabotaging the process. Also, it's nearly impossible to see whether you have emptied out the refill bottle, so there was a little bit left at the end that I just didn't bother with. I kept squeezing the bottle very slowly towards the end because the particles would shoot out of the refill hole if I squeezed with too much force. I was able to reset my toner's cartridge by moving the gears to trick the printer into thinking I installed a new cartridge using the method in the YouTube video. I printed out a few test pages and everything worked. I will update this review after I use this refill toner a while because I can't attest to the quality yet. Note: I received two bottles of toner, but I only used one bottle for the refill making the cost of refill just a tiny fraction of the cost of a replacement toner cartridge from Brother! I also received gloves but did not end up using it because they were too large and I usually find that I can't really control my movements with the gloves anyway. I also didn't bother cleaning the cartridge as some videos suggest because mine looked pretty clean already and I didn't want to create more of a mess or break something. I simply wiped the cartridge down with a slightly damp sponge after the refill process since some toner managed to escape. I'm also glad that the refill means there is one less cartridge that ends up in a landfill.

This product can be used in the "LD PRODUCT.com" TN450 cartridge. One thing to know is the rest gear is NOT, I REPEAT, NOT like the brother reset gear. Any attempt to remove the cover on the side results in the reset spring to POP-OUT of the cover: the cover that is held by two screws. It took me 4 hours to figure out how to get it back together. I had an identical one on hand and looked at it from all angles and requires a very, very thin needle nose pliers to get things put back together properly. A royal pain in the Back-side.The print out from this toner works great in the "Brother HL-2240 D" printer. No smudges or globs on the printout and quite clean.Please note: though the cartridge may print out 2600 pages at 5% page coverage, on average, you will NOT get that number of pages If graphics are involved. There is a tendency of getting less 2600 pages from the cartridge.Note 2: When refilling any cartridge, you must have patience and very little force squeezing the toner out of the bottle.It is best to use a wide open nozzle and roll the bottle from side to side and do this outside and not in the house-very difficult to clean up.Note 3: use an air-gun or air compressor and blow out all remaining toner; don't mix what came inside with the new toner you are refilling it with. Also, blow out the drum unit too. Tapping the cartridge will help dislodge any toner inside--just don't drop the cartridge.

I have a Brother 2270DW and I am so happy I went with this refill for a few dollars rather than buying a whole new one from Brother for ~$70 or even an off-brand replacement. No need! It took me only about 10 minutes total to refill the toner the very first time and I'm guessing I'll be able to cut that in half the next time since now I know the drill. And I don't have to deal with the messy after-math of properly recycling the toner cartridge because it's still in my machine. Because I get to just reuse the components of my machine rather than ending up with a random spare part that can't just be recycled normally and sheds black stuff everywhere, I DEFINITELY saved a lot of time and energy refilling the toner instead.Based on other reviews I used a piece of paper taped into a funnel to dispense the toner. Because I made the funnel tip just slightly smaller than the opening, it flowed in without getting clogged often, and I'd say that the actual step of putting the toner in took less than a minute. Disassembling the toner cartridge took me far longer than filling the cartridge. (FYI, the "toner" unit that slides out of the 2270DW is two pieces that need to be taken apart before you can access the cap that the toner goes into. It was under a piece of tape warning me that I was voiding the warranty by breaking the tape).My printed pages look great - no different than pages printed with the original OEM toner.I'll use these again every time without hesitation and will recommend that friends and family do the same.

Toner cartridge has to be emptied before pouring in the new toner, because the cartridge expires before the toner chamber is empty. When putting in the new toner, you have to go very slowly, because the toner dust flies out easily. After all this, a big mess has to be cleaned up. Total time was about an hour.Unfortunately, I didn't get to use it because the cartridge chip expired the cartridge, and replacing the chip didn't work. I ended up scrapping the printer.
