imageCLASS MF665Cdw How long should toner last?

How long is your toner typically supposed to last I just printed 97 pages on a brand new image class toner and yes, I know that that’s the starter pack but still under 100 seems a little low to me. I’m trying to decide if I wanna keep this printer move on and try something else I can’t imagine running through $500 worth of toning ink in less than two weeks. Hell every month that would drive me nuts.

Greetings ,

Page yield is determined by the percentage of ink coverage.  You'll get a higher page yield if you're printing simple documents and text.  You'll get a lower page yield if you're printing graphics or images.  Laser printers have a much higher page yield than inkjets.  They are also not prone to clogging or decreased performance due to infrequent use.  It's important that you choose a printer that meets or exceeds your anticipated duty cycle requirements.

I just bought my image class the other day also, and I have been on printer support in years gone by. For the cartridges that came with this printer 100-300 is about right, it is a starter cartridge. A OEM 075 Canon cartridge printing ISO standard coverage (5% of paper covered by toner) should give you about 1300 pages and a 075H cartridge should give you about 3500 pages. As you can see from that standard if you are printing a lot of graphics/images the page count can go down fast. this link https://www.printerland.co.uk/pdf/Xerox/page-coverage-examples.pdf has sample pages. Note that the ISO standard (the first page) is actually what us mortals would consider a half a page.  Do NOT buy the compatible cartridges that advertise 5,000 to 11,000 pages. They are lying to you.If they are lying about the page yield, are they telling the truth about the quality of the cartridges.
