Expected page output and replacement cycles
Canon measures toner yield using ISO/IEC 19752 black laser testing standards. Standard CART052 yields up to 3,100 pages, while CART052H high-yield cartridges deliver up to 9,200 pages. High-yield capacity reduces printer roller wear per page, maintaining crisp text output across heavy workloads.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| CART052 | Standard | Black | 3,100 | $0.060 |
| CART052H | High Yield | Black | 9,200 | $0.035 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.

Pro Tip
Store unopened CART052 and CART052H toner cartridges horizontally in a cool, dry location. Laying toner flat keeps the fine powder evenly spread inside the hopper, preventing clumped toner and faded print bands on your first few pages after installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the high-yield CART052H toner cartridge physically fit into the same slot as standard CART052?
Yes. Both CART052 and CART052H share identical outer housing dimensions and locking tabs. The CART052H cartridge simply contains a larger internal powder reservoir.
Will using CART052H reduce overall wear on internal printer components?
Yes. Because CART052H requires fewer physical cartridge changes per 10,000 pages printed, you reduce mechanical drive gear engagements and latching cycles inside your imageCLASS printer.
Why do Black toner cartridges sometimes output lighter print towards the end of their life?
As toner levels drop, the internal agitator blade distributes remaining powder less evenly across the developer roller. Removing the cartridge and gently rocking it side-to-side redistributes the remaining powder for full coverage until replacement.
Is CART052H the same as CART 052H?
Yes. CART052H and CART 052H refer to the exact same high-yield Canon Black toner cartridge; the space is simply a common formatting difference used across retail ordering platforms.
