Which toner fits the Lexmark C2425dw?

A perfectly flat set: 1,000 pages throughout

That detail has a direct consequence for your orders. On a machine whose black lasts two to three times longer than the colours, a spare black can be enough; here the black goes first and has no extra margin. So it will be replaced far more often than the other three, in a ratio set only by the kind of documents you print — three to four to one for ordinary office work.

The reverse reading holds too: a genuinely colour page, with solid areas, draws on all four cartridges at once. On this machine, a sales brochure costs four times what a text page costs, literally.

6,500 pages a month for 1,000-page cartridges

Lexmark recommends a volume of 800 to 6,500 pages a month. At the ceiling, that is more than six blacks in the month: the cartridge format is clearly sized for the lower bound. At 800 pages a month, on the other hand, a black covers more than a quarter and the colours almost a year.

That is the point to settle before installing this machine on a very busy station: it prints at 23 pages per minute with automatic duplex, but its consumables are cut for measured use.

The same toners on the C2535dw and the MC2425adw

The C2350 family also covers the Lexmark C2535dw, MC2425adw, MC2535adwe and MC2640adwe. A fleet made up of those models therefore keeps a single set of four part numbers, whichever machine you happen to be standing at.
