Canon imageCLASS LBP-3980 toner
Your imageCLASS LBP-3980 takes the 16A (standard yield). At our price that is about 0.6¢ a page.
The Canon imageCLASS LBP-3980 is a mono laser printer.
The cartridge it takes is the 16A, rated by Canon at about 12,000 pages, which works out to roughly 0.6¢ a page at our price of $69.99.
On this printer the drum is built into the cartridge, so there is no separate drum to buy or reset. Every new cartridge brings a fresh drum with it.
When you compare prices, compare cost per page rather than the sticker price: a cheaper cartridge with half the rated yield costs more to run. Every cartridge here ships free, is covered by our printer damage protection and can be returned within 90 days, opened or not.
