Lexmark CX860de CX860dte Toner Cartridges
Shop toner cartridges for your Lexmark CX860de and CX860dte, which uses the Lexmark 72K60 and 72K6X toner cartridge series along with 72K0DK0 imaging units, 72K0P00 photoconductor units, and 72K0W00 waste toner bottles. These enterprise colour laser printers handle high-volume departmental document workflows. Upgrading from standard 72K60K0 cartridges to ultra-high-yield 82K6UK0 options significantly lowers per-page printing costs. Our 4.8 Google rating reflects a long-standing track record of premium cartridge performance.

Long-Life Imaging Components and Waste Maintenance
Beyond toner cartridges, the Lexmark CX860de and CX860dte require periodic replacement of separate wear items, including 72K0DK0, 72K0DC0, and 72K0DM0 imaging units, the 72K0P00 photoconductor unit, and the 72K0W00 waste toner bottle. Experience Tip: The 72K0P00 photoconductor unit carries a rated life of 175,000 pages, allowing it to outlast multiple full sets of ultra-high-yield toner cartridges before needing replacement.
Selecting Toner Configurations and Shipping Options
If you print mostly text documents, choosing the 55,000-page 82K6UK0 cartridge offers the lowest cost per page. For colour-heavy output, high-capacity 82K6UC0, 82K6UM0, and 82K6UY0 cartridges reduce replacement frequency during busy print cycles.

Toner Procurement Pro Tip
When purchasing high-yield 82K6U toner cartridges for high-volume environments, check your existing inventory of 72K0W00 waste toner bottles; high-yield toners produce significant throughput that can fill waste receptacles before the next full toner cycle completes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do the Lexmark CX860de and CX860dte use the exact same toner cartridges?
Yes, both the CX860de and CX860dte models share the same cartridge architecture and accept identical 72K60, 72K6X, and 82K6U series toner cartridges and imaging supplies.
Can I install 55,000-page 82K6U ultra-high-yield cartridges in a printer currently using standard 72K60 toners?
Yes, 82K6U series cartridges share the same physical slot dimensions as standard 72K60 cartridges but contain a higher volume of toner for extended printing cycles.
How often does the 72K0W00 waste toner bottle need to be replaced?
The 72K0W00 waste toner bottle has a rated capacity of approximately 115,000 pages, meaning it usually requires replacement once every two to three ultra-high-yield toner cartridge cycles.
Why are individual imaging units like 72K0DK0 sold separately from toner cartridges?
Lexmark separates the toner supply from the electrophotographic imaging units, allowing you to replace toner as it empties without discarding functioning imaging drums, reducing operational costs.
