Hi, when i look at laser toners i read they say 'lifespan is 3000 pages by 5% printing on A4 paper'.

Does this mean when i print the whole page magenta for example,
i'm using 100% so the toner would last 150 pages?

Thanks,
Fadil

No. The page yield stated is actually a standard measurement used by manufacturers so customers can compere like to like in page yields. You cannot make this assumption because different amounts of ink are used to print a page! If you printed a whole page in magenta you would use a lot of ink very quickly!
