Kyocera Toner Cartridges

Kyocera Toner FAQ

When it’s time to replace toner in your Kyocera laser printer, you may have two options depending on your printer model.

Genuine (OEM) Cartridges
Manufactured by Kyocera, these cartridges are engineered to the exact specifications of your printer. They deliver reliable, high-quality prints every time.

Compatible Cartridges
Produced by third-party manufacturers, compatible cartridges are designed to work seamlessly with your Kyocera printer at a lower cost.

Which should you choose?

For business-critical printing, such as official documents or client reports, we recommend genuine Kyocera toner for absolute peace of mind.

For everyday home use or when you’re watching the budget, compatible cartridges offer excellent value without sacrificing print quality.

No. Under New Zealand consumer law, printer manufacturers cannot void your warranty simply for using third-party consumables. Your printer warranty remains valid unless the compatible toner itself causes direct damage to the machine, which is extremely rare with high-quality ISO-certified compatibles like those stocked by Good Egg.

When you use compatible products supplied by Good Egg you're protected. In the unlikely event they are proven to have damaged your printer, our suppliers will repair, or if necessary, replace it with an equivalent model of the same or better specifications up to the value of $1,000. See warranty details here.

Depending on your printer, cartridges may be available in both standard and high-yield versions.

Standard cartridges are cheaper, but they print less pages.

High-yield cartridges contain more toner, which means they can print more pages than standard-yield cartridges. While high-yield cartridges cost more up-front, they’re generally cheaper in the long run due to their higher page-yields. This makes them a more cost-effective option for users who do a lot of printing.



When choosing between standard and high-yield cartridges, it's important to consider your printing volume and budget. If you print frequently, a high-yield cartridge will be more cost-effective and convenient for you in the long run. However, if you print infrequently, a standard cartridge may be a better choice.

To help you chose the right cartridge, click on any of the cartridges listed above you'll see in-depth details including average page yield and the approximate cost to print 10 pages.

When you notice that a cartridge is running low on toner or has become empty, replace it promptly to avoid any printing issues or damage to your printer.

Before installing a replacement cartridge don't forget to ensure you remove any protective covers or seals from the new cartridge before installing.

Before installing a replacement cartridge don't forget to gently shake it from side to side to distribute the toner inside evenly. Also ensure you remove any protective covers or seals from new cartridges before installing them.

If you're feeling a bit unsure about how to replace a toner cartridge in your laser printer, you're not alone. For most people, it's something that only needs doing every few months - or even less often - so it's completely normal to forget exactly how it works.

We've made it easy with a step-by-step guide to changing toner cartridges. Check it out.

If you’re not going to immediately use your replacement cartridges, make sure you store them in a cool and dry place. Avoid exposing toner cartridges to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures as these can damage the cartridge and affect print quality.

Toner cartridges come in sealed protective bags that help prevent dust and debris from entering the cartridge before it's installed in your printer. Keep these seals intact until you're ready to use the cartridge. If you have multiple cartridges stored for long periods of time, it's a good idea to ensure older cartridges are used first.

If you’re planning a lot of printing, consider stocking up on cartridges. Buy two of the same cartridge model and get an extra 10% off your second one. Not only will you save even more money, you’ll also have a spare on hand so you can swap out and keep printing without delay.
