No, they are tiny starter toners good for about 250 pages, get a set of four refills on Amazon for £50 amazon.co.uk/dp/…tem
I bought a set at Christmas, and they're fine.
Are you sure it comes with 'Tiny' toners? Mine came with full sized set.
From Amazon ' 1 x Inbox toner: BK toner printing approximately 3000 pages and C/M/Y toners each printing approximately 1800 pages declared yield in accordance with ISO/IEC19752' (edited)
Just replace the colour that runs out. You can't refill the starter toners as they're missing the reset wheel, but the refills have plugs you can pull out and just add more powder in, so cancel the subscription after the first delivery.
The reset wheel is what triggers the empty toner message on these carts, so there will probably still be toner in them when the message comes up - you just have to remove a couple of screws and turn the wheel back to make the printer think the cart is fulll again. There a few youtube vids to show you how. (edited)
It's just a printer.
For those who've only ever owned inkjets and wondering if a laser/LED printer is suitable, I'd ask yourself the following questions:
Q) Do you print very infrequently or a lot?
A) Laser printers are cheaper to run than ink so if you print a lot then these can save you money*. However they're also ideal for somebody who very rarely prints as the powder-like toner doesn't dry up and clog any heads, so there's never any head cleaning cycles to run. You can leave it switched off for years then fire it up and it'll print just fine straight away. My experience with inkjets is that they like to be used regularly or they clog up and you use a huge amount of ink running a head clean two or three times to restore quality. I only print every few months so most of my ink got wasted on cleaning cycles.
Q) Do you need to print on things other than paper or thin card? Will you be printing photos?
A) Inkjets tend to cope better with different kinds of media, like CDs and glossy paper - these often can't withstand the high heat of a laser printer's fuser and will melt, damaging them and the printer. Also inkjets (especially combined with glossy photo paper) tend to produce better quality photo output than lasers. You can buy lasers that will rival an inkjet, but not in this price range. Having said that, if your needs are more in the line of wanted posters or house adverts like in an estate agent's window then a laser will do just fine.
Q) When you print, does it tend to be a large job of many pages at a time?
A) Lasers excel at churning out page after page very quickly, which is why you'll often find them with larger and multiple paper trays compared to inkjets. Having said that, modern inkjets (especially those like the HP PageWide models) can be very quick too, and CISS inkjets can bring the cost down comparable to a laser.
*Laser printers often have more consumables than just the toner itself. Brother printers usually have a separate imaging drum which needs replacing after so many toner swaps - this makes the toner cartridges cheaper (much like Canon used to have separately replaceable ink cartridge and print heads), whereas HP's tend to have a combined toner/drum unit you replace each time, like their ink cartridges with built-in head.
Colour laser printers also usually have an image transfer belt, and a waste toner collection box, and an imaging drum for each colour. Fusers don't last forever either, though for home use you'd probably never need to replace one. Drums, belts and waste toner collectors tend to last for tens of thousands of pages each, depending on the size of the printer, but can be very expensive to replace - this is why you can buy used laser printers very cheaply from eBay, "just needs a few consumables replacing"!
On one of the websites which sell this printer I think the instructions they gave for the Cashback was to use one code for the Cashback and a different code for the extended warranty. Might just be a way of selecting which offer you want.

(edited)I have also bought this printer and its an amazing printer and still running on the starter toners
Yes, me too! Didn't quite optimise the purchase, but got mine back in January and still going strong... Just nervous about a replacement set of toner cartridges?
Got mine within a week.
That reset wheel as demonstrated on the BBC programme about 7 years ago 'The men who made us spend'.
Print quality is excellent, but our pixma prints look better on glossy paper.
I doubt it, box didn't look tampered with. I still have the spec sheet from the dealer I bought my first bone from and it says 3000 pages black 1800 colour, and I'm guessing we got such a low page count because we were printing full colour on the whole page. More white space may have pushed our page count up a little. The Baisine ones say they're twice the page count.
Printing bank notes fair goes through the ink also

uk.pcmag.com/las…cdw gave it 4 out of 5 and said:
The Brother HL-L8260CDW color laser printer offers above-average text and graphics, good paper handling, a wide range of connectivity choices, and low running costs, making it a top pick for a small or micro office or a workgroup.
Even cheaper when I got mine in March 2019 worked out at £69 plus as well as £100 cashback got the 3 year warranty .Was rude not to buy one.
Just informing those people that might want to wait because they don't need a printer right now.
(Ignore that Which post)
There is no promo code for it... Simply fill in the form with serial no and date of purchase. You will also need to upload your inovice.
Thankyou. (edited)
Thankyou yes in the end i had to give brother a call as for some reason i registered the printer but no cashback was included. I called them and they sorted it over the phone.
Sorry, found a link you have posted above. Thanks
The price comes down to this point many times so keep an eye on Amazon website
I believe it started in December last year, I remember rushing around on new years eve, worried it was going to end
Does it scan/copy?
No just a printer,I was going to get a colour printer but went for an all in one Brother mono laser printer in the end,open box from Amazon £72 (edited)
Excellent thanks for that, stuck them on subscribe and save - 5% off voucher as we - I note they sell 2 black toners seperately can you just replace the black toner, all will it throw a wobbly?
That's what I thought?
