A few weeks ago, I was printing notes for an important meeting when the pages suddenly started coming out faded. At first, I blamed the settings and spent way too long adjusting everything. After checking the printer, I realized the real issue was much simpler the Brother toner cartridge had finally reached its limit.

It made me wonder how much usage actually affects cartridge life. Some people print occasionally and get months of use, while others replace theirs much sooner. What’s been your experience—how long does yours usually last?
