Canon CART056 & Canon CART056H Toner Cartridges
Canon CART056 standard and high-capacity CART056H toner cartridges keep your Canon imageCLASS MF543x printer producing clear documents with minimal disruption. Available in both genuine and cost-effective compatible options, choosing the high-yield 21,000-page variant significantly reduces how often cartridges need changing in busy print environments. Our 4.8 Google Star rating shows that our customers consistently receive high-quality cartridges backed by reliable performance.
Expected output and page yield
Canon measures standard CART056 and CART056H page capacities under the ISO/IEC 19752 monochrome toner yield testing standard at approximately 5% page coverage. High-coverage text documents or graphics will exhaust toner faster than standard business letters.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CART056 | Standard | Black | 10,000 | $0.030 |
| CART056H | High Yield | Black | 21,000 | $0.019 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Genuine vs compatible toner options
Choosing compatible toner cartridges provides substantial savings for daily office printing without risking your printer warranty. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. To understand how third-party cartridges perform against original manufacturer supplies, read our guide to compare genuine and compatible cartridges.
Stocking options and delivery terms
If you print mainly text documents in high volumes, choosing CART056H high-yield cartridges or multi-packs offers the lowest per-page running cost. Compatible cartridges are backed by our risk-free money back guarantee outlined in our returns policy.

Pro Tip
Canon CART056 and CART056H cartridges feature an all-in-one design combining the toner tank and imaging drum in a single unit. When print density fades toward the end of a cartridge's life, removing the toner and gently rocking it side-to-side horizontally distributes remaining powder, giving you several hundred extra clean pages before replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I switch from a standard CART056 toner to a high-yield CART056H toner?
Yes, both cartridges share identical outer housing dimensions and locking tabs, meaning the CART056H fits into the exact same printer slot while offering double the toner capacity.
Does the CART056 toner cartridge include the drum unit?
Yes, Canon uses an all-in-one cartridge design for the CART056 series. Replacing the toner cartridge automatically replaces the photosensitive drum unit, maintaining print quality over time.
Why am I getting fewer prints than the 10,000 or 21,000 page rating?
Rated yields are calculated using ISO/IEC 19752 standards at 5% page coverage. If your business prints dense contracts, bold headings, or graphic tables, your actual page yield will decrease proportionally.
Is CART056H the same as CART-056H or CART 056H?
Yes, CART056H, CART-056H, and CART 056H refer to the exact same high-yield Canon toner cartridge. The hyphen and space are simply formatting variations used across different catalogues.
