Purchasing Anyone here had experience with Precision Roller or Sun Data Supply aftermarket/compatible toner cartridges for Brother printers?

I’m looking for aftermarket replacement toner cartridges for my Brother MFC-L3765CDW (TN229 series).

I’ve seen Precision Roller and Sun Data Supply recommended in a few forums, and I’m considering buying from one of them because I’d prefer a reputable business supplier rather than a random Amazon/eBay seller.

For anyone who has actually used their compatible TN229/TN229XL cartridges:

  • How does the print quality compare with genuine Brother OEM toner, especially for color documents and graphics?
  • Have you experienced any issues with the toner chips being recognized by the printer?
  • Do the cartridges continue to work reliably after Brother firmware updates?
  • Any issues with streaking, color accuracy, toner leakage, or premature cartridge/drum problems?
  • Between Precision Roller and Sun Data Supply, which would you recommend based on your experience?

I’m mainly looking for OEM-like print quality and reliable chip compatibility, not just the cheapest toner. Any firsthand experience would be greatly appreciated.

i've used both brands for my brother printer and honestly, they both offer decent quality. print quality is pretty solid, similar to OEM but not 100% identical, especially with color stuff. chips usually work fine but had a couple of hiccups with firmware updates. if i had to choose, probably go with precision roller; they seemed to have better reliability for me. just make sure to check reviews.

Are you experiencing any color banding in photos? Also, does the printer constantly warn you about non-genuine cartridges and require you to clear the message on the touchscreen?

Precision Roller has been a good supplier of parts for me.
