Expected page output and replacement cycles
Page yields for NPG-46 toner cartridges are measured using standard ISO/IEC 19798 testing guidelines at 5% coverage per page. High-capacity black cartridges provide substantially higher yields to accommodate dense text documents, while cyan, magenta, and yellow toner deplete at equal rates during balanced colour office printing.
