Review on Brother TN436BK Super High Yield Toner, Black - Retail Packaging by Terrell Ciula

This is supposed to be a genuine Ultra High Performance Brother cartridge and it actually looks genuine (both packaging and cartridge). Unfortunately we didn't even have a month. Began to streak a lot and now it's pretty much useless. Versus. The original set of OEM cartridges that came with the printer lasted 9 months and we printed over 3,000 pages from them. I weigh: the cartridge shows 398 grams, which confirms that it is almost empty. Considering that it was supposed to have 190-200g of toner that couldn't be used up in less than a month, the amount of toner never came close to what it should be. I'm wondering if someone is recycling them by adding a small amount of toner and selling them as new, or maybe it's a manufacturer's quality control issue. Either way, your best defense: Put it on the scales as soon as you receive it, without even removing it from the Mylar bag. It should weigh over 600g, if much less just send it back while you are still in the return window. Update: Turns out I'm still within Revain's return window (less than a month). So I was able to return it, so that's an extra star for Revain's customer service.
