Expected Page Output and Replacement Cycles
Monochrome laser page yields for the X860H21G toner cartridge are measured in accordance with the ISO/IEC 19752 standard based on 5% page coverage. High-volume office environments running large text documents achieve consistent output, though heavy graphic coverage reduces total yield before cartridge depletion.
| Cartridge Number | Type | Colour | Page Yield | Cost Per Page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| X860H21G | High Yield | Black | 35,000 | $0.004 |
Cost Per Page = Total Cartridge Price ÷ Page Yield (at 5% coverage). Prices based on Genuine cartridges.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the X860H22G drum unit differ from the X860H21G toner cartridge?
The X860H21G toner cartridge contains the black powder supply, whereas the X860H22G drum unit transfers that powder onto the paper using an electrostatically charged roller. They are separate physical units that wear at different rates, meaning the drum unit typically outlasts several toner cartridge replacements.
What page coverage is assumed for the 35,000-page yield rating on the X860H21G cartridge?
The 35,000-page yield is calculated under standard ISO/IEC 19752 guidelines at 5% page coverage, which represents a typical business text document. Printing dense graphics, solid charts, or high-coverage tables will consume toner faster and result in a lower actual page yield.
Can I store spare Lexmark X860H21G toner cartridges for future use without performance loss?
Yes, genuine Lexmark toner cartridges can be stored safely in their original sealed packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme humidity. Keeping an extra X860H21G cartridge on hand ensures uninterrupted printing when high-volume document runs deplete the active toner.
