Frequently Asked Questions
How many pages will this cartridge print?
The cartridge is rated for approximately 2,300 pages based on 5% coverage of an A4 or Letter-sized page. Actual results will vary depending on the density of the text and images printed.Â
Is this cartridge easy to replace?
Yes. The all-in-one design allows for “drop-in” installation. Some versions feature Auto Seal Removal technology, where the internal sealing tape is removed automatically during the installation process.
Can I use this in my Canon Pixma printer?
No. This is a laser toner cartridge. Your Canon Pixma G2430 is an inkjet printer that requires GI-41 series ink bottles rather than toner.
