The Cheapest Printer Toners 2024 by Brand (All Under $60!)

on

 

Toner is expensive, but we’ve rounded up the cheapest toners of 2024 to help drive your  print costs way down. Most of these toner cartridges are under 60 bucks and will allow you to print for less than a penny per page!


How We Find The Cheapest Toners

We spent a day in our warehouse comparing prices and page yields of our entire inventory. Dividing the price by the projected page yield gave us a rough idea of the cost per page.

Bear in mind this isn’t a 100% accurate reflection of print costs since it doesn’t factor in the cost of the paper you’re printing on. But it does tell you which toner gives you the most for your money. (Spoiler: It’s not HP!)

Note: Please note that all prices mentioned in the article are valid as of May 7, 2024.

A Final Word on Low-Cost Toner

Toner prices can change based on supply and demand. The more popular the printer model, the more expensive the replacement toner.

We found the cheapest toners for printers no longer being sold, like Sharp and Panasonic. If you find a good deal on a gently used Canon imageRUNNER tale it — you’ll be printing for pennies for years to come.

The most expensive toner came from the most popular printer brands, like Brother and HP. There are no “cheap” toner cartridges for Brother or HP, but if you spring for high-yield toner cartridges, you can bring your print costs down to under a penny per page.
