Guide to Purchasing a Brother Toner Cartridge

Coming up on the empty toner warning on your printer can be a minor inconvenience when you have an extra Brother toner cartridge lying around or a major problem if you need to get a project done as soon as possible. Avoiding this problem can be easy for any office, no matter the budget or storage room, if you take the steps needed to keep your Brother toner cartridge levels high. Here are three basic steps to avoid the no toner news.

- Buy in bulk. Not only does stocking up on bulk cartridges mean you won’t see that empty toner message and panic, but it also means that you will be saving some money in the long run. Keep a certain amount of toner on your storage shelves – say, 10 extra cartridges for a large office or three for a smaller one – and make sure you never dip below that level. Buy five to 50 cartridges at a time whenever you dip to the minimum level and you should never have a problem with missing out on toner.
- Find a company that will ship quickly and cheaply for those rare empty toner moments. This is when doing your research pays off. Take time now to research what the rates for toner cartridges are and the speed and rates of shipping for these companies. You can regularly buy your supplies from one company that is cheap but slow. At the same time, have this other company in the back of your mind for those emergencies. Make sure they have large stocks of toner so that you can have them ship out your supplies the day you order them and overnight them to your office.
- Do research on local stores for their toner stocks and prices. Sometimes you just can’t wait a day for supplies to get in. Knowing a store near you that sells the toner you need can be just the bridge you need to get through a rough patch. You might spend a bit more, but that’s the risk you take when you don’t keep sufficient supplies on hand for toner emergencies.
