Compare the cartridge references.
The figures below are manufacturer benchmarks for original replacement cartridges, based on ISO/IEC 19752. Actual yield varies with print content and use. Compatible yields may differ; we confirm the exact product specification in your quote.
| Reference / colour | Capacity | Approx. pages |
|---|---|---|
| TN-3430 ↗Black | Standard | 3,000 |
| TN-3480 ↗Black | High yield | 8,000 |

Example printers for this family.
These are verified examples, not a complete compatibility list. Include your full model and region so we can confirm the specific cartridge before you order.
Different model suffixes, regional cartridges, chips, firmware or subscription arrangements may require a further check. If your model is not listed, ask us to identify your toner.
Keep toner capacity separate from drum life
TN-3430 and TN-3480 are different-capacity black toner references. For regular office printing, ask for the available alternative’s quoted yield and total price so you can compare the two capacities on the same basis.
If several departments order for similar Brother printers, list the full model for each rather than assuming every HL-L5000-series machine takes the same cartridge. We check the exact model before confirming a compatible or original option.
Replacing toner or another supply?
This printer generation uses a separate DR-3400 drum. A TN-3430 or TN-3480 toner cartridge does not replace that drum; send any drum-life message with your enquiry.

- Full printer model and cartridge reference, if known.

- Delivery postcode, deadline and any recognition or firmware message.
We check suitable compatible options first and confirm the product, current price and delivery before you agree an order. Original toner is available if your organisation specifies it.
