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.
- Brother HL-L8260CDW
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.
Specify the colour as well as TN421 or TN423
BK, C, M and Y identify black, cyan, magenta and yellow. TN421 and TN423 each cover four separate cartridges; give the full reference and quantity for each colour rather than requesting just ‘a 423’.
The original black benchmark differs from the three colour benchmarks in both capacities. We can check suitable compatible or remanufactured choices for the exact model; specify originals if that is your preference.
Replacing toner or another supply?
HL-L8260CDW uses a separate DR-421CL drum pack, plus a transfer belt and waste-toner unit. Include the exact supply message so a toner enquiry is not confused with one of those maintenance items.
