Kyocera toner verses compatible toner
A recent comparative performance test of KYOCERA ECOSYS M5526cdw OEM Toner versus nine third-party compatible toner brands* showed that:
Compatible Toner | |||||
 | |||||
| 73% | Eleven of the fifteen toner cartridges tested from one supplier expired much earlier than expected, with none producing more than 349 impressions. | |||
Kyocera Toner | |||||
 | |||||
100% | All of the genuine Kyocera cartridges worked reliably, with no out-of-box failures, no early-end-of-life failures or other defects. | ||||
 | 100% of genuine Kyocera toner cartridges reached their full rated page yield. On average the page yield of the compatible colour toner cartridges (Cyan, Magenta and Yellow) was 17.6% lower than the genuine Kyocera colour toners. |
 | 84% | 84% of the printed documents produced by compatible toner devices had minor defects limiting them to internal use only. |
8.8% | 8.8% of the printed documents produced by compatible toner devices had severe defects rendering them unusable. | |
 | 100% | 100% of genuine Kyocera toner cartridge printed documents were deemed suitable for internal and external use. |
