1. How to choose your laser printer toner?
The first criterion: the exact reference of your printer. Each model uses a specific toner. Here are the 4 pieces of information to have before buying:
- The printer brand: HP, Lexmark, Ricoh, Kyocera, Samsung, OKI…
- The exact model: e.g. HP LaserJet Pro M404dn, Lexmark MS621dn…
- The current toner reference: visible on the cartridge in place or in the print settings
- The desired capacity: standard (A) or high capacity (X / XL / HC)
2. Why choose a brand new original toner?
IT And Office sells only brand new original toners, sourced directly from the manufacturers. Here's why it's the best choice:
- ✅ Guaranteed print quality: optimal density, perfect sharpness, yield according to manufacturer specifications
- ✅ Manufacturer's warranty preserved: a non-original toner can void your printer's warranty
- ✅ Zero risk of malfunction: no jams, no powder leaks, no damage to the fuser unit
- ✅ Guaranteed Yield: the stated page count is truly achieved
- ✅ New, never used: always in original packaging, sealed by the manufacturer
- ✅ Competitive Price: our prices are attractive because we manage our stock directly, without intermediaries
3. Understanding Toner Yield
The yield is the number of printable pages, measured at 5% coverage (ISO/IEC 19752 standard). For dense documents, the actual yield will be lower.
- Standard (e.g., CF287A): 9,000 pages — suitable for small volumes
- High Capacity (e.g., CF287X): 18,000 pages — cost per page cut in half
- Extra High Capacity (e.g., CF325X): 34,500 pages — for large professional volumes
💡 For companies printing more than 1,000 pages/month, high capacity is always more economical.

6. Color toners vs black toners
Color laser printers use 4 toners: Black (K), Cyan (C), Magenta (M), Yellow (Y). Practical tips:
- Buy the high-capacity black toner, standard colors if you print little color
- Set the printer to print in black by default
- Some printers continue to print in black when a color toner is empty

8. 5 tips to reduce your toner budget
- Choose high capacity (XL/HC): cost per page is 20 to 40% cheaper.
- Print in black by default: color toners cost 3 to 4 times more.
- Buy in stock: new original toners keep for 2 to 3 years. Multiple units = volume discounts.
- Check the real yield: for dense PDFs, divide the stated yield by 1.5 to 2.
- Compare cost per page: €80 / 10,000 pages = €0.008/page; €120 / 25,000 pages = €0.0048/page.
