Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles
Monochrome laser toner yields are measured using the industry-standard ISO/IEC 19752 testing methodology, based on standard 5% page coverage. High-density text documents, accounting charts, or large graphics will consume toner faster, reducing actual page output per cartridge.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TG-28 | Standard | Black | 8,300 | $0.002 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Compatible cartridges.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do the imageRUNNER IR-2020, IR-2022, IR-2025, and IR-2028 all use the exact same toner cartridge?
Yes. All four models in this Canon imageRUNNER series share identical internal printing architecture and accept the same GPR-18 (TG-28) black toner cartridge.
What is the difference between the GPR-18 code and the TG-28 designation?
GPR-18 is Canon's global series designation for this cartridge system, while TG-28 is the specific regional cartridge model number used in Australia. Both codes refer to the exact same physical toner cartridge for these printers.
Why might my actual page yield be lower than the rated 8,300 pages?
Page yield standard ratings assume standard 5% coverage on an A4 page (roughly a short business letter). Printing full-page A3 documents, heavy black borders, or dense tables increases ink coverage per sheet, depleting the toner faster.
Can toner cartridges dry out if the printer remains idle for extended periods?
No. Unlike liquid ink cartridges, laser toner is a dry powder composed of fine plastic and pigment particles. It will not dry out or clog internal nozzles over time, making it ideal for sporadic or batch office printing.
