Frequently Asked Questions

This standard GPR-40 costs $61.58 — exactly the same as the high-yield version. Why does this listing exist?

Honest answer first: at this price, most buyers should look hard at the high-yield cartridge. Both listings sit at $61.58, but this standard GPR-40 (part number 3482B005AA) is rated for 6,000 pages while the GPR-40H version is rated for 12,500 — more than double. This standard cartridge is the right buy when your printer's documentation specifies the standard-yield GPR-40 rather than the H version, or when you deliberately want the shorter commitment of a 6,000-page cartridge. If neither of those applies to you, we will not pretend otherwise: the H cartridge is the better arithmetic at the same shelf price.

What does the same price mean in cost per page?

The two cartridges split sharply once you divide. This standard cartridge works out to about 1.03 cents per page ($61.58 across 6,000 pages). The high-yield GPR-40H at the same $61.58 works out to about 0.49 cents per page across its 12,500 pages. Same money out of the budget, very different cost for every page that comes off the printer — which is exactly why we spell it out here instead of hoping you will not notice.

How do I tell the standard and high-yield versions apart if they share a part number?

Both listings in this family carry part number 3482B005AA, so the part number alone will not separate them. Look at two things instead: the name — the high-yield cartridge is the GPR-40H, with the H in the designation — and the yield rating, 6,000 pages for this standard cartridge against 12,500 for the H. If your order history or your printer's supply list says GPR-40 without the H, this is the cartridge it means.

What does 6,000 pages look like on a shared workgroup printer?

On an imageRUNNER LBP3560 or LBP3580 serving a small team, 6,000 pages is a moderate run rather than a long one. At roughly 500 pages a month it lasts about a year; at 1,500 pages a month — a busy shared machine — expect around four months; at 3,000 pages a month you are swapping roughly every two months. Those figures assume standard 5% page coverage, so dense reports and graphics-heavy pages will shorten them.

How quickly will I be changing this cartridge compared with the high-yield version?

Roughly twice as often. A 6,000-page rating against 12,500 means that over any long stretch of printing, this standard cartridge comes out of the machine about twice for every once the GPR-40H does. For a lightly used printer that difference barely matters. For a machine a whole department leans on, it is worth weighing before you order — and it is the other half of why the same-price comparison above matters.

What happens if this cartridge fails or prints badly?

It is covered by a 1-year warranty against defects and 1-year free returns if it does not perform as it should — the same backing as every cartridge in this family, whichever yield you choose. The full terms are on our shipping and returns page, and our support team is available Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST if you would rather talk it through first.
