1,150 pages is few — and here is what against
A toner's yield means nothing on its own. Compared with the other monochrome lasers in the catalogue, that of the 136A places the machine at once:
- 136A (M236dw): 1,150 pages;
- 17A (M130): 1,600 pages;
- 26A (M402dn): 3,100 pages, and 9,000 in 26X;
- 151X (4003dn): 9,700 pages.
A 1,150-page toner is a little more than two reams of paper. In an office printing daily, that means several replacements a year where a higher-class machine would call for one.
The 136X changes the order of magnitude
It holds 2,600 pages, 2.3 times the 136A, and costs clearly less per page. On this machine it is not a comfort option: it is the format to take by default as soon as the printer is used more than once a week. The 136A still makes sense for genuinely occasional use, where tying up less money is preferable.
The right machine in the right place
The M236dw prints, copies and scans at 29 pages per minute, over Wi-Fi as well as Ethernet, with automatic duplex, for 7.6 kg and a 150-sheet tray. Its recommended cycle peaks at 20,000 pages a month, but its consumable tells the truth about its use: it is built for one workstation, a small office, a shop.
If your real volume exceeds a few hundred pages a month, the cost-per-page arithmetic soon favours a machine with a big toner. Ask us for a quotation: we are happy to compare the real cost of two machines over three years, consumables included.
