Sorry the toner seems to have run out sooner than you expected.

This toner is estimated to produce up to 2,400 pages, the suggested amount of pages is always the maximum amount that it can produce and never the minimum. You can print this many pages when printing at 5% coverage on every A4 page, that would be like printing a short letter on an A4 page (a few sentences long) each time you print. We use this method to estimate the page yield as is widely recognised in the industry and with consumers.

The amount of coverage you use depends on what your printing and as every print is different, it is nearly impossible to estimate how much any cartridge can print. Also the more coverage you use the fewer prints you will get from the toner, so for example (with this particular toner) if you had been printing at 10% you would receive a maximum of 1200 pages, 15% a maximum of 800 pages etc.

On average most users print at an estimated coverage of 25-30%, based on the toner you're using this would estimate you printing up to 400 - 480 pages. So you'll most likely find that the toner has run out at the right time. If you would like to send me an example of the kind of things you have been printing then I can check your average coverage and see roughly how many pages you should expect from this toner for you.

We don't recommend refilling inks and toners yourself as it is a messy job, which is why we only offer ready refilled or compatible products. There isn't currently an alternative available for this original toner, as soon as there is we'll get it listed on the website.
