Understanding compatible Lexmark 808 toners
Third-party compatible cartridges offer substantial savings for high-volume text and everyday colour document output. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Learn more in our genuine vs compatible cartridges comparison guide.
Selecting toner capacities and ordering options
If you print mainly text documents, choose extra high yield 808X black cartridges to lower page costs and minimise cartridge swaps. If you print mixed colour graphics or heavy marketing materials, step up to 808H or 808X colour toners to prevent frequent multi-pack reordering. Compatible cartridges carry a 100% money-back guarantee under our Returns policy if performance does not match expectations. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99, dispatched quickly from our Australian warehouses in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide.

Key guidance for Lexmark 808 toners
Pro Tip: Unlike standard desktop printers, Lexmark CX series colour lasers monitor toner levels using precise optical drop-counting microchips. If you swap a partially used cartridge into another cartridge slot or reset the printer without installing a fresh chip, the printer will lock out the toner level sensor and read the cartridge as depleted.
Match Your Printing Habits to the Right Lexmark 808 or Lexmark 808S or Lexmark 808H or Lexmark 808X Toner Cartridge Pack
If only one colour has run dry, there's no need to replace the rest - a single Genuine 808 cartridge (from $80.20) is the lowest-cost way to keep printing.
Watching the budget? Compatible cartridges match the fit and yield of genuine ink at a lower price, from $42.29 for a single 80C8SCE/80C8SC0 cartridge or 5-pack 808 for $227.64 (free delivery).
For a high-volume office, buying in bulk cuts the cost per unit further - the 10-Pack 808 Compatible (from $450.49) works out cheapest per cartridge. This qualifies for free delivery.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I mix 808 standard yield and 808X extra high yield cartridges in the same printer?
Yes, all 808 capacity variants (standard 808, 808S, 808H, and 808X) share identical external physical dimensions and fit into the same internal toner slots. You can safely install an 808X black toner alongside standard 808 colour toners without issue.
Why do colour cartridges deplete even if I print mostly black documents?
Lexmark colour laser printers run self-calibration routines during startup and maintenance cycles, consuming small amounts of cyan, magenta, and yellow toner to align internal transfer belts even when printing monochrome pages.
What is the difference between Unison toner and standard toner formulations?
Lexmark Unison toner uses a low-friction spherical particle structure that flows smoothly inside the cartridge without clumping. This ensures low-temperature fusing, consistent image grey-scale rendering, and protects the internal imaging drum unit from micro-abrasions.
Is 80C8HK0 the same as the 808H black toner cartridge?
Yes, 80C8HK0 is Lexmark's official OEM part code for the 808H high-yield black toner cartridge. Retailers and inventory systems use 80C8HK0 and 808H interchangeably to refer to the identical 4,000-page black toner.
