You can save money and get more toner out of your cartridge using several methods. The THIRD method is shown in this video, which is to refill the affected toner cartridge.
This toner refill method works for the following Brother printer models:
HL-L3210cw / HL-L3270cdw / DCP-L3510cdw / DCP-L3550cdw / MFC-L3710cw / MFC-L3730cdn / MFC-L3750cdw / MFC-L3770cdw.
Fade out test swatch: www.milogical.com/ColourSwatches
A completely empty cartridge weighs within a couple of grams of 367g. A full cartridge weighs within a couple of grams of 407g. Conversely, if you've got a cartridge behaving strangely, but its weight is nowhere near 367g, it's not lack of toner that's causing the problem and in that case refilling it won't help.
I bought the copper melter and plugs at www.urefilltoner.co.uk/, but you can also buy these elsewhere on the internet. I bought the toner on AliExpress.
Now to the refilling part. If your cartridge is empty
• Heat the bigger end of the copper melter and use the 2 corners of the knurled-effect plastic as rough guides to melt a hole with the heated copper melter.
• Shake an unopened bottle containing 40 grams of toner vigorously for 5 seconds.
• Jam the spout into the hole and lean everything back to a lower angle.
• Wait 5 seconds for the toner to flow in.
• Bring everything back up and disengage the spout from the cartridge.
• Repeat this process until the toner bottle is empty.
• Clean up any spilled toner from around the hole with an alcohol swab.
• Put a plug in to cover the hole.
• Put the refilled cartridge back into the printer and allow it to initialise.

    Fantastic! The 1st method of resetting the cartridge with the LCD interface worked with 3 of the cartridges. For the 4th cartridge I followed the 2nd method of resetting the wheel of the “bought” cartridge. That did the trick. Many thanks!

    Thank you so much for this video. After I refilled the printer still thinks that the cartridge is empty. You need to reset the cartridge data ;) Open the front cover of the printer (to access cartridges). With the cover open, simultaneously press the Clear and Stop/Exit buttons. It may take several tries for this to work and for "K.TNR-STD" to appear onscreen. Scroll through the menu to select a color and yield to reset. The LCD will read "Accepted" once the reset is complete.

    I used to use an Epson ET-2550 ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 , an early model of the ink tank style. It worked well, but had one nuisance that drove me up the wall; if you didn't put it in high quality print mode you'd get a streak across the page. I'm happy to say I have yet to see this with this printer. The print quality has been fantastic so far, the set up was super easy. All in all I'm very happy with this printer.

I disabled the FW update search for posterity (I'm on FW 1.60), I opened the black toner first and found a spring and reset wheel. I did reset it, and then installed the same black plastic cap on the C, then on M, then on Y (all 3 didn't have the spring/wheel), so all 4toners are reset :)

      Then you probably have to buy a reset wheel and spring, or you can buy new cartridges. New cartridges come with a reset wheel and spring, so you can reset the new cartridges.

She also only has the original ones and therefor needed to buy the wheel.

    There is actually a real technical reason for the toner cartridge to not be completely empty when done. In toner technology, the best toner particles are chosen first by the developer roller, so if you reset the toner, the powder left in the cartridge is of worse quality. I am in no way affiliated with any printer manufacturer. I still believe that printer companies are doing a lot of things to make even more money on you, but this is at least partially a technical reason, not necessarily just a way to make more money.

    Nice video. Some printer models will recognize a toner end condition soon after the reset (hardware wise) so you might to reset again or block the light barrier or swap the toner. You should choose the last option if you notice quality issues that will occure if there's not enough toner powder inside the cartridge to cover the entire toner roller surface (something you can inspect visually, too). I wouldn't recommend to "overdo" it (like ignoring quality problems) because if the toner roller isn't coated with toner you'll increase the wear of the OPC drum surface.

      Hi Francis, up until now the only problem I ran into is the appearance of black vertical streaks on my prints. I also made a video about how to solve this :) I'm very satisfied with this printer. The only drawback in my opinion is the fact that the adf will only scan and copy single-sidedly.

Do keep in mind though, if you regularly print colourful images/photos, maybe an inkjet printer is a better choice
