Frequently Asked Questions

How much does an SL-M2835DW need to print each week for this high-yield cartridge to be the economical pick?

Less than most owners assume. This MLT-D116L carries a 3,000-page fill for $32.13 — about 1.07 cents a page — while the smaller standard-yield cartridge in the family charges more for every page it prints. Any SL-M2835DW in regular weekly use comes out ahead on the high-yield fill; only a machine used a handful of times a month, where a cartridge would sit for well over a year, genuinely suits the smaller, cheaper-to-buy alternative.

What happens to print darkness as this cartridge nears its end?

It leaves gradually and evenly. Dense areas — bold headings, logos, shaded tables — pale first, then ordinary text follows, and the fading looks the same across the whole page rather than in stripes or patches. That even, all-over fade is the cartridge's signature; rocking it side to side buys a little more time, and when the fade returns straight away, the fill is spent and this is the cartridge to fit next.

Can one cartridge take a sudden 400-page report without fading part-way through?

Yes, provided it has the life left. A 400-page run is about an eighth of the cartridge's 3,000-page rating, and job length does not itself cause fading — fading tracks how much toner remains, not how long the printer has been running. If the SL-M2835DW's current cartridge is near its end, any long job will show it; with a healthy fill, the report prints uniformly from page one to page four hundred.

Which other Samsung models does this cartridge serve?

The MLT-D116L in this listing also serves the Xpress M2626, Xpress M2676, Xpress M2826, Xpress M2835 DW, Xpress M2875, Xpress M2875 DW, Xpress SL-M2625D, Xpress SL-M2675F, Xpress SL-M2825DW, Xpress SL-M2875FD and SL-M2885FW, alongside the SL-M2835DW. Stock bought for one of those printers is never wasted if the fleet changes — the family is collected in our Samsung toner range.

The cartridge that came out of my SL-M2835DW is marked MLT-D116S — can this one go in its place?

Yes. The MLT-D116S and the MLT-D116L in this listing are siblings for the same printers: the S is the standard-yield fill, the L is the high-yield fill rated at 3,000 pages. A machine that takes the S takes the L in exactly the same slot, and the L simply lasts longer between changes at a lower cost per page. Match the L code when you want the full-size cartridge.

What cover backs this purchase?

A warranty of a year and free returns for a year — if this cartridge leaks, streaks from its first pages or fades long before its rating, it goes back at no cost under the shipping and returns page. Orders are dispatched from our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses, and support is staffed Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
