How To Recycle A Brother TN360 Toner Cartridge

Whenever your Brother TN360 toner cartridge runs out of ink, you probably heave a sigh of despair, as each OEM replacement takes $60 of your hard earned money. They may very well promise clear and crisp prints, but you still experience hesitation and reluctance. Instead of making another one of those unwanted purchases, learn to refill your Brother TN360 toner cartridge with a cheap consumer's refill kit.

Before you get too excited, though, remember that, although unquestionably cheaper than OEM replacements, toner refills are no better as far as performance. Also, if you don't follow the instructions explicitly, you might find yourself having to go out and buy a replacement for your Brother TN360 toner cartridge anyway. Here are the steps. Read them carefully.

First, get a flathead screwdriver and pry out the plastic plug found on the side of the Brother TN360 toner cartridge in order to open the toner chamber. Suck out any remaining toner on the inside of the chamber with appropriate tools, and then use the toner wipes to clean the outside of the Brother TN360 toner cartridge. Now get your bottle of toner powder. Carefully shake the bottle or tap on its bottom in order to loosen its contents.

Pull off the seal and open the bottle. Next, attach a funnel cap to the mouth of the toner powder bottle; be sure it's attached tightly to avoid any spillage as you transfer toner to the chamber. Tilt the funnel cap, insert it into the fill hole of the toner chamber, and begin to pour the toner powder into the Brother TN360 toner cartridge. Once the toner cartridge is completely filled, seal up the hole with the same plastic plug and twist it until it is securely closed.

If you'd like, you can also put electrical tape over top of the plug to cover any cracks and add extra security. Evenly distribute the fluid by shaking the cartridge back and forth. Replace your cartridge and test print to make sure it's performing properly. Refilling the Brother TN360 toner cartridge only takes five to ten minutes.

Following these simple steps will recover your Brother TN360 toner cartridge for one more use without much difficulty. By doing the refill yourself, you're saving about eighty percent, as the consumer refill kit only costs $11.95. The refill produces 2, 600 pages at 5% coverage, as the OEM does.
