Xpress M2820
The Xpress M2820 brings 28-ppm speed to the D115 branch — the fast, one-piece-cartridge alternative to the D116-based M2825. One-piece means every replacement refreshes toner and drum together: simple, no separate drum to track. At 28 ppm the 3,000-page MLT-D115L high-yield is the sensible pick over the standard D115S. Our compatible D115 cartridges fit all M2820 variants.

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I buy the MLT-D115S or the MLT-D115L for the Xpress M2820?
Both fit the Xpress M2820 identically; the MLT-D115L high-yield cartridge simply holds more toner and costs less per page, while the MLT-D115S standard cartridge costs less upfront. For a mono laser printer with steady volume, the L cartridge means fewer swaps and lower running costs. Light or occasional users do fine with the S — toner does not improve with age, so there is no benefit to buying capacity you will not use within a year or so.
Prints from my Xpress M2820 look faded. Is it the toner or something else?
Rule out settings first: toner-save or draft mode left on makes the Xpress M2820 print pale indefinitely. With normal density, remove the cartridge — MLT-D115S or MLT-D115L — rock it gently side to side to redistribute toner, and reseat it. Even fading across the whole page after that means the cartridge is spent; repeating defects in the same spot suggest a worn drum surface inside the cartridge instead.
How do I squeeze extra life out of a low MLT-D115 cartridge?
When the Xpress M2820 reports low, remove the MLT-D115S or MLT-D115L, rock it gently side to side to redistribute the remaining powder, and reinstall it — this routinely buys extra pages. Switch the driver to toner-save for everything non-critical in the meantime. Store your spare upright in a cool, dark place rather than next to the printer, since heat degrades toner and shortens shelf life.
