Expected page output and replacement cycles
A single TK-3164 cartridge yields up to 12,500 pages based on the ISO/IEC 19752 standard for monochrome electrophotographic printing at 5% coverage. High-coverage text documents like legal contracts or full-page tables will reduce overall output relative to standard business correspondence.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |

Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Genuine vs compatible cartridges
Compatible TK-3164 cartridges slash operating costs per page by nearly 50% compared to genuine Kyocera units, without sacrificing total page output. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Read our comprehensive genuine vs compatible cartridge guide for a side-by-side performance comparison.
Best way to stock these cartridges
For daily black-and-white office documents, standard single TK-3164 cartridges maintain steady output, but ordering twin packs maximises cost savings per unit.

Pro Tip
Ecosys printers utilise ceramic drums rated for hundreds of thousands of prints; always ensure the waste toner box provided with your TK-3164 cartridge is installed at the same time to prevent micro-toner backup inside the development unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the TK-3164 cartridge include a new waste toner box?
Yes, each TK-3164 toner cartridge includes a fresh waste toner container inside the box. Replacing this container during toner installation is mandatory to stop excess developer waste from overflowing into the internal print assembly.
Will using compatible TK-3164 cartridges alter my print speed or warming time on Ecosys printers?
No, print speed and warm-up cycles are dictated by the printer's fuser heating element and internal firmware, not the physical toner cartridge casing or toner particle charge.
How do ISO/IEC 19752 coverage rates reflect actual office printing yields?
The 12,500-page rating uses the ISO 19752 standard, based on 5% page coverage (roughly a short letter). If your typical office output consists of heavy bold text, dense tables, or 10-15% coverage pages, real-world yields will average closer to 6,000 to 8,000 pages per cartridge.
