The Brother HL-L3270CDW's black cartridge outlasts each color by 700 pages

The HL-L3270CDW splits its consumables into four TN227 cartridges, and the interesting detail is the gap between black and color yields. Black standard hits 3,000 pages while each color taps out at 2,300 — that 700-page difference means you’ll be swapping cyan, magenta, and yellow noticeably more often than black. Spring for the TN227XL high-yield versions and black stretches to 4,500 while colors reach 4,000, narrowing the ratio slightly.
