How many pages does a new toner cartridge print? How well do 3rd party / refurbished toner cartridges work?

Refurbished cartridges last longer than the OEM versions. I have had mine for about four months and I am on my second cartridge. The first OEM cartridge went out after three weeks and the refurbished I'm still using. I print quite a bit since this is my work printer.

24 ppm n I had no problem with my shipping, & as for refurbished cartridges I really can't speak about this for I've never had any. ..

Warranty will depend from whom you are buying the printer from, usually refurbished items will not have warranty, if they do it will likely be limited to 30 or 90 days depending on who the seller is HP, or HP third-party or any kind of other vender. As for the cartridge, I recommend by Hp supplied Toner for best results any non-Hp compatible catridge may work but some of them usually leak toner into the printer and stand chances of ruining it.

Well, I'm still using the original cartridges that it shipped with. The printer has a web page interface where it shows all of the statistics as well as configuration options, etc. Right now it tells me I've printed a total of 949 pages (499 Color, 450 B&W). Images Count Total: 2125 (Cyan: 433: Magenta: 433 Yellow: 317 Black: 942). Drum Count: 949. The toners for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black are all showing 60% of full. I've used %40 of all toners.

Mine is 2 years old and I have filled the toner cartridges several times....I use a local company who specializesin refilling toner cartridges...they find away to refill anything !!!! It might be that the original starter cartridge which lasts a very short time is sealed

Yes, I think 1500 pages. I have had this printer for over 9 months and still using the original starter toners. Hope that helps. It is a great printer.

If you get good ones ( I didn't), you should get about 2600 pages, this is with light text and no graphics. My pages are heavy text, no graphics ( about 7.5% coverage) and I normally get 2000 pages from a Brother OEM cartridge, refills/remanufactured about 1900. Good luck with these cartridges.

Turning on the toner saver can extend the use, but I agree with the other poster that most dedicated Lasers have better cost per page. I've got one of those old HPs 4Ls with a refillable toner cart for those big jobs, at less than a penny a page.

A "starter" cartridge comes with the printer, so you are ready to go when you get it. I have printed 300 pages so far and the printer has 25% of the toner left in that starter cartridge, less than what a lot of folks claimed it might print.

Yes, but they seem to be "starter" cartridges...I believe you get less than 1000 pages out of them. There's some very good aftermarket toner carts available for this printer though that are very inexpensive.

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.

You have to read the manual to discover this, but the default 'starter' cartridge that comes with the printer is only half full. Figure 1,000 pages, tops. As a matter of coincidence, mine just ran out and I have to buy one on my way home tonite.

Not sure but I do inow the original that came with the printer was a sampler. It gave us bout 6 months of printing with an average of 2 sheets /day (mostly crossword puzzles and quilting instructions) so that comes to about 300+pages for the first one. New cartridges supposedly last at least 2 years or more per my son who usess his daily for various technical documents. so maybe 1000 pages?

That's interesting. I just got the message that the toner is low after printing a mailing, but it was a brand new cartridge and we only printed - at most - 1/2 of what the supposed capacity is. Just a letter, so not excessive page coverage either. I guess the answer is I don't know, but have had some similar experience (though not that soon). Typically this hasn't been a huge issue.

you can refill them, the problem is the "chip" counts pages and Stops the printer from working... so you have to get new chips for each cartridge about $20 for new chips $40 for toner about $60; I tried rebuilt cartidges and the printer does not recognize the aftermarket rebuilt cartridges; basically Minolta Konica is saying buy only EOM! expensive... I would never buy another printer with page-counting-chips in it: HP got sued for their printers non functionality when the chip count said stop: they updated their software

I just bought this printer about 2 months ago. I have printed about 600 pages and the toner is about half way.

I had it for about 18 months and I don't have any problems, I don't think any one is offering warranties for toners. toner are rated against how many pages it produce, really not about life span. how many pages do you print monthly and how does it compare with the HP toner?
