High Yield

The difference between high yield toner and other toner yields and what this means cost-wise and environmentally. High Yield Toner Cartridge: As the name implies, the yield for this type of cartridge is higher than for a standard cartridge. For example, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) HP CE505X high yield black toner cartridge from HP for the LaserJet 05X series has a 6,500 page yield.  The HP CE505A standard, compatible Black Toner Cartridge for the same LaserJet 05X series  has a page yield of 2,300. At this writing, the high yield costs $161.97, and the standard costs $89.87 at SuperMediaStore.com That’s $0.02 cents per page for the high yield compared to $0.04 cents per page for the standard. Extended yield toner cartridge:This is the name that Micro Solutions Enterprises (MSE) and some of the other manufacturers use for toner cartridges that print more than the standard does. Jumbo toner cartridge: This name, used by a few other manufacturers, is also for toner cartridges with yield’s higher than standard cartridges. Whatever you call it – high yield, extended yield or jumbo, using toner cartridges that produce more pages than standard cartridges produce, not only saves money but is less harmful to the planet.
