Canon imageCLASS LBP215x Toner Cartridges
Your Canon imageCLASS LBP215x uses the CART052 and CART052H toner cartridges. Ink Depot has been supplying reliable printer consumables for this mono laser printer since Jun 2018. Designed for demanding business workflows, upgrading from standard CART052 cartridges to high-yield CART052H options significantly lowers cost per page during heavy document printing. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.
Expected page output and replacement cycles
Page yield figures for CART052 and CART052H toner cartridges are measured using standard ISO/IEC 19752 monochrome testing procedures at 5% page coverage. High-volume office printing with heavy text, dense tables, or logos will deplete toner faster than the rated standard yield.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CART052 | Standard | Black | 3,100 | $0.060 |
| CART052H | High Yield | Black | 9,200 | $0.035 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.
Choosing between genuine and compatible toner
For budget-conscious offices, high-yield compatible CART052H cartridges deliver identical page output and crisp monochrome text at a fraction of the cost. Under Australian Consumer Law, using compatible cartridges does not void your printer warranty. Read our genuine vs compatible cartridge guide to evaluate performance differences.
Selecting the right toner setup
If you print mainly text and routine business documents, choosing CART052H high-yield cartridges provides nearly triple the capacity of standard CART052 toners, minimising replacement frequency. Opting for compatible toners further reduces operational expense and includes a money back guarantee if they do not work. Check our returns policy for full peace of mind.

Pro Tip
If your office handles high daily print volumes, stock CART052H high-yield toner bundles instead of single standard CART052 units. High-yield cartridges significantly reduce cost per page while ensuring fewer toner swaps during critical document runs.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the physical difference between standard CART052 and high-yield CART052H toner cartridges?
Both CART052 and CART052H cartridges share identical physical dimensions and install into the exact same slot inside the Canon imageCLASS LBP215x. The CART052H simply contains a larger volume of toner powder, yielding up to 9,200 pages compared to 3,100 pages from the standard CART052.
Does the Canon imageCLASS LBP215x require a separate drum unit replacement?
No. Canon CART052 and CART052H toner cartridges feature an all-in-one design that combines the toner supply and photoconductor drum into a single unit. Replacing the toner cartridge automatically replaces the drum mechanism, ensuring consistent monochrome print quality without purchasing separate drum assemblies.
How does page coverage impact expected output from CART052 series cartridges?
Standard page yield specifications are calculated at 5% page coverage, typical for standard business letters. Printing high-density content such as dark spreadsheets, PDF forms, or graphics consumes more toner per page, which will reduce total page output below the standard rated capacity.
