Hello,

I haven't replaced the toner yet, Kyocera doesn't recommend to use 3rd party one. I am not sure if I will go with original one as the one from my printer was supposed to be rate for 1200 pages, but the black has 35% ink left after printing 220 "black" pages, and CMY@65% after 350 full color pages.

Supposedly, it could print with only the black toner through a setting, but people online complained they couldn't.

I think I will try the 3rd party toner, it's basically 80CHF per toner, 350CHF to replace the 4 of them, which would be over the cost of the printer itself, but they are rated for 2200 pages vs 1200 for included one.

Finally, I am a bit wary on the long term support from the manufacturer, my printer is not listed anymore on their website, nor their official compatible toner.




Thank you for the reply. Yes, I'm a bit worried about long term support from them too.
