Brother TN-426M Magenta Toner — HL-L8360CDW MFC-L8900CDW
6,500 pagesGenuine BrotherMagentaHL-L8360CDW MFC-L8900CDW
The Brother TN-426M is an original Brother magenta super high yield toner cartridge rated at 6,500 pages (ISO/IEC 19798), for the HL-L8360CDW MFC-L8900CDW. It is the right refill for offices that run these printers daily and want the genuine supply the printer was designed around.
Before ordering, match it to your printer: the confirmed models are Brother HL-L8360CDW, MFC-L8900CDW. Toner and drum part numbers in the same family look almost identical, so the sections below spell out which neighbouring parts are different and what this one will not do.
Genuine Brother supplies are made for this printer family: the chip reports levels correctly, the toner is matched to the fuser and the drum, and print density stays consistent from the first page to the last. For offices that print contracts, invoices or colour marketing pages, that consistency matters more than a lower shelf price, and it avoids the error messages and service calls that badly made cartridges can cause.
What's in the Box
- 1 x Brother TN-426M magenta toner cartridge
- Manufacturer installation and recycling information
What It Means in Practice
- 6,500 pages is measured under ISO/IEC 19798 at standard page coverage; real output depends on what you print — dense graphics and photos use toner faster.
- The printer control panel and its web page show the remaining level; order the replacement when the first low warning appears, so you are never stopped mid-job.
- A higher-yield cartridge lowers the number of changes per year and usually the cost per page compared with the smaller version of the same family.
- Store the cartridge sealed, flat and away from heat and direct sunlight until it is needed.
- Return the empty cartridge through Brother toner recycling programme (collection and recycling).
What Will Not Work
- Brother TN-436M — the US-market equivalent; it is a different part number and not the European cartridge
- Other Brother colour lasers (for example the HL-L8260 / MFC-L8690 generation) — Brother lists the TN-426 for the HL-L8360CDW and MFC-L8900CDW only
- Printers not on the list above — even when the cartridge looks the same, the chip and fittings differ between families.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which related part numbers should I know about?
The related part numbers are: TN-421M — standard magenta, 1,800 pages; TN-423M — high-yield magenta, 4,000 pages; TN-426BK — super high-yield black, 9,000 pages; TN-426C / TN-426Y — matching super high-yield cyan and yellow, 6,500 pages.
Does double-sided printing change the page yield?
Yield is measured on standard test pages per printed side. Printing duplex uses the same toner per side, so you get the same number of printed sides on fewer sheets of paper.
Will a genuine cartridge affect my printer warranty?
A genuine Brother cartridge is the supply the printer was designed and tested with, so it fully respects the printer maker's conditions. With third-party cartridges the answer depends on the printer maker's own terms.
How do I recycle the empty one?
Through Brother toner recycling programme (collection and recycling). Ask us if you need help arranging a return.
