It’s been two months since we purchased our Xerox 6605. Since then we have blown through a black and magenta toner cartridge. The printer comes with a 3,000 page black toner cartridge and a 2,000 page colour cartridge. Did they last that long?

As each wax block is 2,500 pages, I would say that the printer usage is spot on.
As some of you may know, I operate a small fireworks business and to keep costs low we would print our own brochures and leaflets.
