Printers Compatible with Canon CART051, CART051H Toner Cartridges
Real-World Page Yield and Duty Cycles
Page yields for Canon CART051 (1,700 pages) and CART051H (4,100 pages) cartridges are measured using the ISO/IEC 19752 standard for monochrome toner cartridges, based on 5% page coverage. High-volume office environments printing dense black text documents will experience lower total page counts than standard ISO test estimates.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CART051 | Standard | Black | 1,700 | $0.061 |
| CART051H | High Yield | Black | 4,100 | $0.036 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
What to Know About Compatible Cartridges
Choosing compatible CART051H cartridges reduces your printing costs per page to roughly a third of genuine pricing without compromising text sharpness or barcode clarity. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Read our genuine vs compatible cartridges guide to see how compatible toners match factory performance.
Selecting the Most Efficient Cartridge Setup
High-volume office printing requires fewer cartridge swaps when using the CART051H high-yield version, which offers more than double the print volume of the standard CART051. If you run multiple imageCLASS printers, ordering 2-pack bundles minimises administrative overhead and lowers price-per-unit costs. All compatible cartridges are backed by a 100% money-back guarantee if they fail to perform. Check our returns policy for full peace-of-mind details. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99 (conditions apply), dispatched quickly from our central warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide.

Pro Tip
Always keep a spare CART051H toner cartridge on site; monochrome laser printers stop printing entirely the moment the cartridge sensor detects zero toner, halting office workflow immediately.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a high-yield CART051H cartridge if my printer originally came with a standard CART051?
Yes. The CART051H high-yield toner cartridge shares the exact outer dimensions as the standard CART051 and fits seamlessly into the same printer slot while offering 4,100 pages of output instead of 1,700.
How does page coverage affect the output of CART051 toner cartridges?
Standard yield ratings rely on 5% page coverage (roughly a brief business letter). Printing full-page legal contracts, detailed spreadsheets, or documents with heavy logos increases toner consumption per page, reducing the total page yield accordingly.
Does replacing the CART051 toner cartridge automatically replace the drum unit?
No. Canon imageCLASS MF269dw printers use a separate drum unit (Drum 051) and toner cartridge system. The CART051 toner supplies the black powder, while the drum unit transfers it to paper and typically lasts through several toner cartridge replacements.
