Brother Refresh Toner Plans

Brother Refresh EZ Print Subscription Service offers a range of plans to meet different printing needs, with a focus on the volume of pages printed per month. 

The plans are designed to accommodate both Mono Laser (Black & White) and Color Laser printing needs.

Mono Laser (Black & White) Toner Plans

Mono Laser plans are designed for those who primarily print black and white documents. Here are some of the available plans:

• Basic Plan: $0.89/month for 25 Pages
• Occasional Plan: $3.49/month for 100 Pages
• Moderate Plan: $8.99/month for 300 Pages

Are Brother Toner Plans Affordable?

When we look at Brother's toner subscription, we see that their black and white printer plans are really affordable. But for color printers, Brother's plans don't seem as cheap. 

For example, HP has a $19 plan that lets you print up to 800 pages, and if you need more, it's only $1 for every extra 20 pages. Brother's similar plan gives you only 200 pages for the same price, and they charge $2 for every extra 20 pages.

It'll be interesting to see if Brother changes their prices or plans later to compete better.

Benefits of EZ Print Subscription Service

• Flexible print plans: You can select a printing plan that aligns with your monthly printing requirements.
• No commitment: You can change or cancel your plan at any time.

Drawbacks of EZ Print Subscription Service

• Privacy concerns: The printer's internet connection is necessary to notify Brother about ink or toner deliveries, which could lead to privacy concerns
• Eligibility: The service is usually for newer printers. You can find the list of eligible models on Brother's website by searching with your printer's model number.
• Extra charge: There is an additional cost of $1 for each extra set of pages in plans for black and white printers.

Summary

To wrap up, the Brother Refresh EZ Print Subscription Service provides a way to make sure you always have enough ink or toner.

However, it's important to consider potential drawbacks before enrolling in the service.
