Best way to stock these cartridges
If you print mainly text documents, keep a spare black cartridge on hand since text jobs drain black toner much faster than graphics. If you manage heavy multi-colour reports, opting for the complete 4-pack bundle keeps your per-page expenses to a minimum. Free delivery applies on all orders over $99 (conditions apply). We ship rapidly from warehouses located in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide.

Pro Tip
When replacing individual toner cartridges, always gently rock the new unit horizontally a few times before insertion to evenly distribute the toner powder and ensure sharp, streak-free output from the very first page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the ISO/IEC 19798 standard affect my expected cartridge lifespan?
The ISO/IEC 19798 standard measures toner yield using a standard 5 percent page coverage test on A4 paper. If your office prints dense graphics, heavy presentations, or full-page coverage documents, your actual page output per cartridge will decrease accordingly.
Is it more cost-effective to buy individual colour toners or complete multi-packs?
Purchasing the complete 4-pack bundle significantly reduces the overall cost per page compared to buying individual colour units separately, making it the smartest choice for high-volume offices managing predictable print overheads.
Why does the black toner last longer than the individual cyan, magenta, and yellow units?
The black toner is rated for 18,000 pages because business environments predominantly print text-heavy documents, whereas the 13,000-page colour toners are proportioned for occasional charts, logos, and highlights.
