Canon Toner 051 Standard Black Cartridge Laser Printer

The Canon Genuine Toner Cartridge 051 (model 2168C001) is a standard-capacity black toner designed for Canon's imageCLASS line of compact monochrome laser printers. Rated at 1,700 pages under the ISO/IEC 19752 standard — which assumes 5% page coverage — this cartridge uses Canon's OEM toner formulation engineered to match the thermal and mechanical characteristics of the LBP162dw, MF264dw, MF267dw, MF269dw, and MF269dw VP print engines. The result is consistent toner adhesion and density throughout the cartridge's lifespan, with minimal risk of the banding, ghosting, or premature wear that can occur with third-party alternatives.

This cartridge fits squarely into small office and home office environments where print volumes are low to moderate — roughly 50 to 80 pages per week. Users printing at higher volumes should consider the Cartridge 051H, which triples the yield to approximately 4,100 pages and significantly reduces the per-page cost. Installation is straightforward: open the front cover, remove the spent cartridge, and insert the replacement with no calibration or alignment needed. For organizations running multiple compatible imageCLASS units, the shared cartridge compatibility across five models simplifies procurement and reduces the number of SKUs to stock.
