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).

Yes, I decided to Go for a Genuine Brother TN730 Black Cartridge (unopened) for my new Brother Laser Printer. $42.95 + Tax + Shipping. Just Arrived, although do not currently need it, still working on my Starter Cartridge.
Brother told me, if unopened, it will be good for approximately 2 Months. For the money I spent, I hope it will.!!
