Aficio MP-20
At 20 pages per minute, the Aficio MP-20 steps out of desktop territory: black-and-white output sized for mid-size workgroups that have outgrown smaller units. Its toner comes from the same family shelf as the smaller machines — one black cartridge, the 841718, at about 7,000 pages per cartridge.
The MP-20 occupies the sweet spot between desktop printers and full-size departmental systems: fast enough to be the group's main engine, compact enough not to demand its own room. Growing offices land on it when the queue at the little printer becomes a daily complaint. Its generous cartridge yield means that higher speed does not turn into a weekly toner ritual.

Which cartridge should you buy?
Speed shapes the sensible order here. A 20 ppm machine serving a whole workgroup can move through 7,000 pages quickly in a busy month, so the 2-pack is the practical default — a spare always in the building. The 4-pack rewards the offices where the MP-20 is the hub and several sibling machines also draw on the same stock. A single 841718 fits a secondary unit or a team trialing the machine. Every pack size holds the identical cartridge, so you are choosing reserve depth and per-cartridge cost, not compatibility.
Chip, toner and everyday use
The compatible cartridges on this page are chipped for the MP-20, so the machine tracks toner and warns in good time. When pages begin to fade at one edge, remove the cartridge and rock it slowly from side to side; the toner redistributes and print usually evens out while your next order ships. Keep incoming cartridges in their packaging, flat, in a cool dry place — and when you swap, the new unit slides in from the front with no tools and no menu settings to touch.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which toner cartridge fits the Aficio MP-20?
The 841718 black cartridge, rated for about 7,000 pages. Despite the jump in speed, the MP-20 shares its supply with the smaller 161 and 171 models.
Does the higher speed change how long a cartridge lasts?
The rating is in pages, not minutes — up to 7,000 pages at 5% coverage. A faster machine simply reaches that total sooner in a busy office, which is why 2-packs are popular with MP-20 owners.
Can I stock one cartridge type for the MP-20 and our smaller MP machines?
Yes, and many offices do exactly that. The 841718 is common to the 161, 171, 201 and MP-20 ranges, so a single shelf stock covers all of them.
What pack sizes can I order?
The cartridge is listed as a single, a 2-pack and a 4-pack. Per-cartridge cost falls as the pack grows, and the larger packs suit machines that anchor a workgroup.
