PRINKUS Compatible Toner Cartridges, 2-Pack

Running low on black toner can interrupt routine documents and office print jobs. This two-pack is designed as a replacement for the listed CF226A/26A cartridges.

It covers several Pro M402 and Pro MFP M426 models, so the model number is the first detail to match before choosing.

The listing gives a yield of 3,100 pages at 5% coverage. That figure is a reference point, not a promise of the same output for every print job.

Technical details

The package includes two black compatible toner cartridges for CF226A/26A. The listed page yield is 3,100 pages at 5% coverage on Letter/A4 paper. Actual page count can vary with how much of each page is covered in toner, dense graphics or heavily filled pages use a different amount than lightly printed text.

The product listing describes the output as vivid and clear, but it does not provide sample pages or more detailed print-quality information. Treat that as the maker’s stated performance description rather than a guarantee for every document or printer condition. The cartridges are also described as compatible replacements, not as original cartridges.

What it works with

The listed compatible printers are the Pro M402d, M402n, M402dn, and M402dw, as well as the Pro MFP M426dw, M426fdw, and M426fdn. The listing also names the M402 and M426 series. Match the full model number on your printer with this list before ordering, sharing a series name alone does not confirm that a specific model is included.

For example, if you mainly print text documents on an M402dw, the two cartridges are intended to keep black printing supplied without needing to select a color option. If your printer is a different model, or you need color toner, this listing does not establish that it will meet that need.

Usage tips

Check the printer’s model label and the cartridge number it calls for before replacing a cartridge. The product is identified for CF226A/26A and also mentions CF226X compatibility in its name, but the supplied printer list is the clearest guide to the models covered. Don’t assume compatibility with an unlisted printer based only on a similar model number.

Think about your usual pages, too. Mostly text-based printing is closer to the listing’s 5% coverage reference than pages filled with dark graphics. It suits you if you want a black toner replacement in a two-pack and your exact printer appears in the compatibility list. It might not be a great match if you need color printing, use a model that is not listed, or need a yield figure tailored to graphics-heavy work.

Practical doubts

How many cartridges are included? The listing specifies a two-pack of black compatible toner cartridges.

What does the 3,100-page figure mean? It is the stated yield at 5% coverage on Letter/A4 paper. Your actual results depend on the amount of toner used per page.

Does it fit every M402 or M426 printer? The listing names those series and gives specific models. Check your exact printer model against the listed compatibility information rather than assuming every variation is covered.

Is it worth it?

This pack makes the most sense when you need black toner for one of the listed printers and would rather keep a second replacement on hand than shop for cartridges one at a time. That is a practical difference from buying a single cartridge: the two-pack provides another replacement, though the listing does not establish a cost saving or how long either cartridge will last in your workflow. The main tradeoff is that compatibility and yield depend on details—the exact printer model and your page coverage. If those fit your needs, the pack has a clear use case, if either is uncertain, choose a replacement with confirmed support for your printer and a yield that better reflects your typical jobs.
