Looking for best $$$ Deal on Printer Cartridge for my "Brother" Printer.

Brother Cartridges are quite Expensive, looking for a compatible Cartridge that will work and not damage my very Nice New Brother Printer. Some off brand Cartridges have been said to damage printers. Need good & safe recommendations. Thanks.

Based upon your stated "need", "Brother" cartridges will be your best option. "The Bitterness of Poor Quality Remains Long After the Sweetness of Low Price is Forgotten".

You should use the Brother toner. Why take my advice? I worked for IBM and Lexmark for forty years in toner and photoconductor manufacturing, in both quality engineering and management roles. Toners are much more complex than they seem, and development of them can take a couple of years because of all these factors and more: melt point, melt viscosity, particle size distribution (electrostatic behavior is affected and that's how the toner is moved), powder flow characteristics, adhesion to the paper, capability using various paper stocks, ship/store characteristics (so it doesn't turn into a brick in your car), fuser release characteristics (the number one cause of printer failure using non-OEM toner is fuser fouling with stuck-on toner). I could go on...

If you decide on original Brother cartridges, the best prices I have seen for printer supplies is https://www.itsupplies.com. I use Epson, so I don't know how their prices compare for Brother.

If one does not wish to purchase "Premium" fuel, don't own a "Performance" car. There are inherent risks from "going cheap". An analogy would be owning a premium camera and installing a bargain basement no-name battery. There are products out there to satisfy each end of the purchasing spectrum from hamburgers to electronics. One usually gets whatever value one is willing to pay for.

Try: LD Products.com
I have a Brother MFC-J5845DW & a Canon P-100.
I have been using their Ink for quite some time now and have found them excellent.
Don't make a mistake and go for any cheaper inks, you can really get yourself in trouble.
I think you will be happy with the inks that LD sells.

Well, I do not Print excessively, so a new TT730 Cartridge should last a while, still on my Beginner Cartridge that came with my Brother HLL2395DW Printer ( very satisfied thus far.) so, I guess a Genuine Brother Cartridge $42.95 is the safest choice. Your Expert Job Experience was very helpful in my choice decision.
One Question; If I buy a Brother Cartridge TT730, and do not immediately ( Not sure how long.) use it for awhile will it still be good sitting on the Table by my Printer?

There are many 3rd party ink companies that make compatible cartridges. I've used many and all seem satisfactory. I have a brother and am using Inkjet products. Print is just fine and 1/3 the cost. What printer companies charge for their ink is outrageous and most of the proceeds, I'm sure, go to profit via gouging for OEM. If you do go with 3rd party ink, it's probably best if you don't update firmware or software when prompted by the printer manufacturer as they will be searching your device for non-OEM cartridges and will disable your printer if they find them. One last thing, if you have an ink level service on your printer, 3rd party inks will not show a level but they still work wonderfully.

I think that you should look into "The Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act" by the Federal Government.
It pretty much states that a manufacturer cannot void a warranty if you use remanufactured ink.
I would think that your printer would fall under this law.

First of all, you must understand that your printer is a B&W laser.
It uses a dry powder toner. It does not use ink. It does not dry up.
The Brother TN760 toner cartridge is rated for about 3000 pages.
That's a little over 2 cents a sheet if you pay full retail, $76.99.
If you shop around, you can find it in the $50-$60 range.
I too, do not print a lot, and I have a very similar Brother model whose toner cartridge is rated for about 2600 pages.
One cartridge lasts me about 2 years. I keep an unopened spare on hand.
If you wish to refill on your own, you can buy the toner powder in bulk from AAAToner.com
