Lexmark MS517dn toner
Your MS517dn takes the 511H (high yield), 511X (high yield) and 511 (standard yield). At our price that is about 0.4¢ a page.
The Lexmark MS517dn is a mono laser printer in the MS517 series, which shares cartridges across 2 models.
It takes two black cartridges that differ only in capacity: the 511 at about 2,500 pages and the 511H at about 8,500. At our prices that is 2.4¢ a page against 0.8¢, so the high-yield cartridge costs less to run unless you print very little.
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.
