TONER PAGE YIELD

Toner page yield refers to an approximate amount of pages a toner or inkjet cartridge can print. The industry standard for this calculation is based on 5% coverage of toner per page. This coverage will consist of approximately two paragraphs of normal font letters per page. Pages with additional text or ones that contain pictures will use more toner when printed.
