Choosing Compatible Toner Cartridges
Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Opting for compatible TN-155 toners delivers substantial cost savings for workgroup document production without compromising print clarity or yield capacity. Read our detailed genuine vs compatible cartridge guide to learn more about performance standards.
Managing Office Toner Replacements
If your office primarily prints black text documents, purchasing individual TN-155BK cartridges keeps ongoing operating costs low. For workgroups printing coloured reports or marketing collateral, ordering a full multi-pack bundle reduces per-cartridge outlay. Compatible cartridges are backed by a complete money back guarantee if you encounter any performance issues. Review our returns policy for details. Orders are dispatched quickly from dispatch centres in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99.

Pro Tip
When installing a new high-yield TN-155 toner, gently rock the cartridge horizontally five to six times before inserting it to ensure the internal toner powder distributes evenly for consistent print density.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I install high-yield TN-155 cartridges if my printer originally came with standard TN-150 toners?
Yes. High-yield TN-155 cartridges share the exact physical dimensions and mounting slots as standard TN-150 toners. The high-yield version simply contains a larger volume of toner powder, allowing for longer output runs between replacements.
Why do colour toners deplete even when printing predominantly black-and-white text documents?
Colour laser printers occasionally utilise minute quantities of cyan, magenta, and yellow toner during routine calibration and image registration cycles to maintain print engine accuracy, even when processing monochrome print jobs.
How should spare TN-155 toner cartridges be stored to prevent print defects?
Keep replacement toners sealed in their protective packaging in a dark, climate-controlled space away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent toner powder clumping prior to installation.
