Frequently Asked Questions

How many pages will I actually get from one MLT-D116L cartridge?

The MLT-D116L is rated at 3,000 pages, measured the industry way: standard test pages at about 5% coverage. A page of ordinary office text lands close to that figure, so most users see something near the rating. Dense pages — long contracts, heavy graphics, big bold headers — use more toner per sheet and bring the total down, while draft settings and Toner Save mode stretch it further. Think of 3,000 as a solid planning number rather than a promise.

What does each printed page cost with this cartridge?

At $32.13 for a 3,000-page fill, the arithmetic works out to roughly 1.07 cents per page for toner. That is the high-yield advantage in one number: the standard-yield version of this cartridge carries far less toner, so its per-page cost lands noticeably higher even though the sticker price is lower. If you want the page cost lower still, the multipacks of this same cartridge push it under a cent — the 5 pack gets each cartridge down to $17.34.

Which Samsung printers does the MLT-D116L work with?

This cartridge serves the mono Xpress and SL family built around the MLT-D116 platform: the Xpress M2626, M2676, M2826, M2835 DW, M2875, M2875 DW and SL-M2875FD, the Xpress SL-M2625D, SL-M2675F and SL-M2825DW, and the SL-M2835DW and SL-M2885FW. If your printer's old cartridge is printed with MLT-D116L or MLT-D116S, this is the cartridge bay your machine has.

What is the difference between the MLT-D116L and the MLT-D116S?

The last letter is the fill size. The MLT-D116S is the standard-yield version, rated around 1,200 pages; the MLT-D116L on this page is the high-yield version with a 3,000-page fill — two and a half times the toner in the same physical cartridge. Both slide into the same printers. Users who print more than a few hundred pages a month almost always come out ahead with the L, because the cost per page is lower and changes are less frequent.

My prints have gone light and washed out — is the cartridge finished?

Probably close to it. Fading that creeps in gradually is the classic end-of-toner sign; you can often coax a little more life out by removing the MLT-D116L, rocking it gently side to side to redistribute the powder, and refitting it. If the light print is joined by a repeating mark or spot at regular intervals down the page, that points instead at the imaging unit — the separate MLT-R116 drum these printers use — rather than the toner. A fresh cartridge fixes fading; it cannot fix a worn drum.

What cover do I get if this cartridge lets me down?

Every Clever Supplies compatible cartridge is backed by a 1 year warranty and a full year of free returns, so a cartridge that leaks, streaks or fails early is replaced or refunded rather than argued about. The details live on our shipping and returns page. Orders leave our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA, and support answers Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
