HOW MANY COPIES DOES A TONER CARTRIDGE MAKE?

Alot, as many as my old $100. Office depot cartridges. Been running on low toner warning for 3 weeks and it just keeps going as dark as allways. A great value.

Hadn't checked before this. However, the last cartridge I put in has lasted so far 1500+ sheets and still going strong. Hope to get the full 2500 copies and expect, too. The cartridges I received are excellent!!!!!

On the average, one toner cartridge will do about 2000 at about 5% surface area. For the normal printing and copying, you will see a typical yield of 1500 to 1750 copies. Hopefully this will help you on your decision.

Too few before it starts throwing LOW TONER alerts and then stops printing altogether. Very disappointed in the 2 cartridges that I tried. Never even tried the 3rd one - bought BROTHER brand to avoid printing delays and hassles.

I am still using it I think over 3000. But I learned a trick from the other one I used (that came with the printer) - the printer automatically stops if it detects the toner is thinning. It does this by monitoring a small transparent window in the toner itself. If you cover that window with duct tape the window, the toner will magically function for another 3000 pages or so.

The color cartridges print approximately 1500 copies. You receive two black cartridges that print a little over 800 copies each.

Just for clarification, the starter cartridge isn't quite a TN-420--it's just generically labeled "TN" and, as you note, lasts for significantly fewer pages. The TN-420 actually lasts for about 1200 pages, but I don't know why anyone would get that over the TN-450 (2600 pages) unless they are an extremely low-volume user and strapped for cash.Personally, I'm on 880 pages with the starter, primarily text, and still going (but probably not much longer), although it's been complaining about low toner since about page 500.

It includes one black and one of each color toner cartridges (Cyan, Magenta, & Yellow), rated to give 2,000 black and 1,500 color copies. Replacement toner cartridges yield 6,000 black and 3,500 color according to the documentation (I'm still on my starter set).

Yes, starter toners come with the copier and should last a couple hundred copies, if not more depending upon color density.

I've never counted, but as someone who has owned HP printers in the past and now owns a canon, the canon printer/cartridges print a whole lot more pages than the HP ever did.

FYI: Cartridges do NOT last a duration of time. It solely depends on how much printing you do and what is on the paper you print. This cartridge is graded at 1500 page yield. This means it will print 1500 pages with a coverage of 5% per page. If you double that coverage you will reduce the 1500 yield. In more understandable terms, the more toner you put on the page, the less pages you will be able to print.

not sure yet--with the brand new cartridge in the new printer, I have printed over 150 pages and have received ""prepare to replace toner message"" for the last 10 or so printings; the b.s. in the pro-mo literature states cartridge is good for 700 pages; pressing code menu--1--8 allows continued printing, but anticipate shutdown around 200; of course nothing in the promotional information indicates any reference to word density--words per page.....Raines BCNU

Unfortunately there are 4 cartridges. They are not ink; they are toner, so they're larger and you get more copies. However, you have to buy a black one, yellow, magenta, and cyan. It's a great machine, I just wish I would've looked at other options, too, since the toner (when we need it), will run around $525!

IIRC the toner was a smaller capacity sample size one. I probably print between 1000-2000 sheets a month and the toner definitely ran out with a month or two max.

Yes mine did. It seemed to me to get me though around 2500 copies before I ordered full size toner for it.

I have no idea. The printer does not have a counter, at least it seems so. However I do know "2000 yield" does not seem right. I installed the full set on 2013-02-08 and it is already indicating low level. Since 2013-02 I know I have not used up 4 reams of 500 sheets. May be 2 reams have been used. The printer works beautifully but I do not know how long I can keep up paying for the costly toner cartridges when the printer is for Home Use. Because of the toner cost I do not print photographs at home.

I can give you an approximate number of pages, but not a specific count. I get between 1000 and 1,100 impressions (I print duplex pages) per cartridge. Bear in mind that I am printing railroad timetables from the 1920's, so the pages are filled with small (6 - 8pt type) with about 40% coverage on most pages - the average number of impressions per job range between 1376 - 1670 (or 688 - 835 pieces of paper). I hope this information helps.

High-yield replacement toner cartridges1 (TN-336 BK/C/M/Y) print approximately 4,000 pages2 black and 3,500 pages2 color to help reduce printing costs.(Brother Website)

They have starter toners that have about 3,000 prints. Full toners do about 20,000 if I remember correctly. I've had my printer for 3 years and think it is great. Only downside is that is it Big and Heavy.

Hi Sharon, I've bought 3 of these kits with 4 each refills. I think the toner will probably cover more than 4,000 copies, but the chips that come with it only allow you to get 4,000 per refill. You could probably do a partial refill, but will have to get replacement chips. Refilling is pretty easy, but can be messy - so you may want to do it outside. I've saved a ton of money with these though and haven't had any toner quality problems. Would definitely buy again.
