Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Choosing between genuine and compatible options

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Kyocera TK-174 toner cartridge include a drum unit?
No. Kyocera printers use a separate long-life drum unit. The TK-174 is solely the toner cartridge container, which clips into the existing drum housing inside the printer.
Why does my Kyocera printer display a low toner message while toner remains?
Kyocera printers monitor toner consumption using optical sensors and page counts. Shaking the TK-174 cartridge horizontally distributes remaining powder across the optical sensor path, extending print output until complete depletion.
Will changing toner cartridge brands cause print faintness or smudged text?
Faint text usually indicates toner starvation or transfer roller wear rather than brand incompatibility. When switching between genuine and compatible TK-174 cartridges, run two blank test prints to allow the developer unit to mix the new toner compound thoroughly.
Is TK-174 the same as TK174?
Yes - TK-174 and TK174 refer to the exact same Kyocera black toner cartridge; the hyphen is purely a formatting distinction used interchangeably by Kyocera and stockists.
