Canon imageCLASS MF264dw toner and drum
Your imageCLASS MF264dw takes the 051 (standard yield) and 051H (high yield), plus the 51 drum. At our price that is about 0.8¢ a page.
The Canon imageCLASS MF264dw is a mono laser printer in the imageCLASS MF260 series, which shares cartridges across 3 models.
It takes two black cartridges that differ only in capacity: the 051 at about 1,700 pages and the 051H at about 4,000. At our prices that is 1.8¢ a page against 0.8¢, so the high-yield cartridge costs less to run unless you print very little.
The drum is a separate part on this printer. The 51 is rated for about 23,000 pages, so it outlasts several toner cartridges and only needs replacing when the printer reports drum life, not every time you change toner.
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.

Questions about the imageCLASS MF264dw
What toner does the Canon imageCLASS MF264dw use?

Does the imageCLASS MF264dw have a separate drum?
Yes. The 51 drum unit is a separate part rated for about 23,000 pages. Replace it when the printer reports drum life, not when you change toner.
