The Brother HL-L3280CDW's high-yield TN247 black cartridge pushes past 4,500 pages

The HL-L3280CDW runs four TN243 cartridges, but the real mileage comes from swapping to the high-yield TN247 series. Standard black gives you 2,500 pages and each color only 1,500 — a pretty steep color penalty. Upgrade to the TN247XL black and you’re looking at 4,500 pages; the XL color cartridges hit 4,000 each. That’s a 3x improvement over the standard color yields, which is an unusually wide gap worth taking advantage of if you print much color at all.
