Xpress M2625
The Xpress M2625 is the workhorse base model of Konica Minolta's rebadged Samsung mono MFP range — print, copy, scan and fax at 26 ppm for the small office. It takes the MLT-D116 toner cartridge (standard D116S or high-yield D116L), working alongside the separate MLT-R116 drum rated around 9,000 pages. Our compatible MLT-D116 cartridges deliver OEM-equivalent output while the two-piece design keeps long-term costs down.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I get the MLT-D116S or the MLT-D116L for the Xpress M2625?
Both fit the Xpress M2625 the same way; the MLT-D116L high-yield cartridge holds more toner and delivers a lower cost per page, while the MLT-D116S standard cartridge is cheaper upfront. A mono laser printer with a separate imaging drum with regular volume benefits from the L — fewer interruptions and cheaper pages. Occasional printers should stick with the S, since toner slowly degrades and there is no advantage in buying capacity that sits unused for a year.
The Xpress M2625 says to replace the imaging unit. Is that the same as the toner?
No — the Xpress M2625 keeps toner and imaging separate. The MLT-D116S or MLT-D116L is the toner cartridge you swap regularly; the MLT-R116 imaging unit (drum) lasts through multiple toner cartridges and is replaced far less often. A replace-imaging-unit message means drum print quality has degraded, not that toner is out. Swapping toner will not clear a drum warning, and vice versa.
How should I handle the MLT-R116 imaging unit in the Xpress M2625?
Drums are light-sensitive: when you remove the MLT-R116 from the Xpress M2625, work quickly and never leave it sitting in bright light, which permanently degrades print quality. Do not touch the drum surface — skin oils cause repeating spots on every page afterward. If prints show the same defect at regular intervals down the page, the drum is likely scratched and the unit needs replacing rather than the toner.
