• Original OEM Transfer Unit Brother BU-229C (BU229CL) – can help if you experience color misalignment, inconsistent color layers, or print artifacts during color jobs.

Common user situations for this printer series include: pages coming out too light after heavy use, repeating dots/lines (often drum-related), messages about replacing the waste toner box, or color prints looking “off” even after changing a toner.

How to choose the right toner for Brother DCP-L3520CDW

Before adding to cart, we encourage you to check three simple things:

• Pick the correct series: this model uses the TN-248 family (including XL variants), so select BK/C/M/Y based on what’s empty.
• Decide on yield: standard cartridges are great for occasional printing; XL toner for Brother DCP-L3520CDW is better for frequent printing and lower cost per page.
• Choose OEM or compatible: OEM is manufacturer-original; our compatible cartridges provide excellent quality and reliability comparable to originals—often the best balance for busy users.
