If you could get more use out of your toner by just following a few simple steps, would you do it? We don't see why not. Read on to find out how you can save on toner cartridge costs and get the most mileage out of your toner.

Keep your toner cartridge secure in its original container until it's ready for use. Otherwise, you run the risk of having the toner start to dry out before you're ready to use your toner equipment.
Use your toner cartridge within the specified time period recommended by the manufacturer. You can find this information on the packaging, including the recommended use by date. Typically, you have 18 to 24 months to store your toner cartridge.
Temperature and climate are important. Store you toner cartridge in a cool, dry place to keep it from getting undo moisture that could diminish your printing quality.
When creating your documents, think about the amount of page coverage you'll be using. Large fonts, unnecessary graphics, and even frequent underlining of words can cause your toner to need replacement much more quickly.
