Plan to use it to print family photos on glossy paper in letter size, so not the normal 7% color coverage. how many photos printing can brand new toners support? Just need a ball park range answer.

Depending on the dominant colour in the photos, I would say approx. 60 nice prints. But I change my printing menu to go into override, which allows a few more prints before the colours begin to fade telling me that the cartridge is really gone.

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.

Since I am still using the cartridge that I purchased, I have no idea. Even if I was out, I don't keep track of the number of pages I print on a print cartridge. Actually, my experience with toner cartridges depends on how you print... mostly text = more pages, mostly pictures (more toner per page) = less pages yield. Right now, I am expecting a yield that is similar to the yield of the official Brother cartridge.

Honestly, as good as this printer is for large-format photographs I think it would be overkill for things like invitations. It is optimized for very subtle color gradation using multiple ink tanks for use with specialty photo papers, something that would not be appreciated on the kind of card stock that invitations are printed on. Using so many ink tanks make it relatively costly to use compared to a more suitable printer. While I couldn't recommend a particular brand or model without seeing what you're printing and what quantity you have in mind, 4 ink tanks is enough to create excellent color for graphics/photos printed on card stock. Look for a printer with very large ink tanks (the manufacturers publish how many milliliters of ink are in their tanks). Amazon has a "top-rated/best-seller" feature for inkjet printers, it's a good starting point.

No. 11" x 17" paper can not be used. The toner and printer feed designs only allow for eight and a half inch wide maximum.

For High Yield Toner, it doesn't necessarily means bigger or longer. It just allow you to print more because the toner contains more ink fills. If you are asking if this is the high yield toner, yes it is. The TN-310 is standard 2500 pages 5% coverage. The TN-315 is high yield 6000 pages at 5% coverage per print.

I used it to print 220 photos on a SD card and another 80 on my jump drive. It is fine. Not sure if this answers your question.

Depends on what you are printing. Manufacturers base their print yields on 5% coverage of the page. The consumer lacks the knowledge of what 5% is.

Not 100% sure but most manufacturers put a "starter" toner in a new unit. So you probably won't get 5000+ sheets. That said we have run 100+ sheets on ours and machine reports it at 80% so we/you will get close to that 5000 #. As long as you register the unit with Xerox you should get full Warranty.

It depends how much toner you are using per page. If you are printing lots of pictures with lots of color all over the page, you'll get towards the lower end of the range. If you print mostly documents or websites with not as much color and not as much print overall you'll get towards the higher end of the range. I have found I usually get towards the higher end regardless. But if you print lots of pictures then its going to go down. I haven't ever counted pages, but I can usually reset the toner cartridge when it tells you to and go for a while before it starts fading.

ummmm if you have a vivid imagination LOL NO you can not, this "toner" is for a black & white laser printer i.e. it prints black/gray tones on white paper .. however I have done some photo work with it and hand painted with water colours and or used translucent coloured markers to make " custom coloured prints" I hope this helps ? All the very best~ john

We do not get the amount of sheets the cartridge claims to print. However, in all fairness we are an insurance agency that is printing quotes and there are areas on the quotes that do have gray shaded lines. We only got about 2300 on the first cartridge and then on the extra high yield ($400 cartridge) we should have gottenaround 25000 (i believe that is what they claim) when we only received about 13000. The machine is lightening fast and will print a very high volume in a short amount of time. We have not had a run in with the warranty so I can't help you there.

I didn't purchase for photo printing, but I have printed a couple of photos and it was okay. If you are wanting a printer to print many photos, this is not the printer.

The answer really depends upon what is called the coverage ratio. Most printers assume that about 5% of the paper will be covered in ink, such as a printed page of text. However, once you go to something with much denser print (like pictures, that cover the entire page), then the number of pages you get goes down drastically -- like by a factor of 20 times (5% x 20 = 100%). What is really a good thing to do is go on EBAY, enter in the type of printer you want, then see how much ink refills are selling for. Canons are usually pretty good because the non-OEM cartridges can be purchased as cheaply as 95 cents for a black or color ink tank. However, if all you can find is OEM inks, then you better plan on paying maybe 7-10 times more for your ink. So the ink decision turns on 1. what type of printing do I want to do and 2. can I get non-OEM cartridges at a reasonable price. I usually purchase cartridges in sets of maybe 5-10 refills, meaning 50 cartridges at a time since it takes 5 tanks to make a complete set. Hopefully this is helpful in making your decision. Also realize that if the print head fails on a Canon, the printer is essentially worthless because Canon charges as much for a print head as they do for the entire printer. Again, check EBAY or equivalent to see if you can purchase replacement print heads at a reasonable cost. If you can't, then there is a pretty fair chance that the ink print head will fail, and when it does, your printer is shot and worthless to you. I run about 8 printers in my business, so I have had to learn how to watch this stuff carefully to help control what otherwise would be very high costs in producing documents. Hope this is helpful to you!

I have one now, have owned one before this... it prints in full color. Check the 4 refill cartridges to see the toner colors.

I have already printed more than 400 pages, but still going good. I hope it should be good for 1000 pages. My last cartridge with Toner Saver mode and No Text Darken setting it ran up to 1500 pages.

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.
