What toner does the Kyocera ECOSYS P2040dn need, plus 1 compatible model

Actualizado 18 julio 2026

Looking for toner for your Kyocera ECOSYS P2040dn or P2040dw? The consumable you need is the Kyocera TK1160 (TK-1160). Our compatible version yields 7,200 pages with the same print quality as the original, and costs a fraction of what you'd pay for the brand. See the compatible toner.

Is it compatible with your printer?

The TK1160 is the only toner fitted by these two machines of the ECOSYS P2040 series. Both share the same mechanics and cartridge, so it doesn't matter which one you have: the consumable is the same. If your printer is one of these, this is your toner:

  • Kyocera ECOSYS P2040dn
  • Kyocera ECOSYS P2040dw

The difference between the two models is in the connectivity, not in the consumable. The dn ending indicates wired network connection (Ethernet) plus automatic double-sided printing (duplex), while the dw ending additionally adds wifi connectivity to print wirelessly. As for the toner, the two use exactly the same reference.

The consumable you need and what it yields

The compatible Kyocera TK1160 toner is a monochrome (black) cartridge with a yield of 7,200 pages, measured according to the ISO/IEC 19752 standard, the international standard that sets how the durability of a mono toner is calculated so you can compare fairly between brands.

It's a high capacity designed for offices and users who print a lot: with more than seven thousand pages per cartridge, you change toner much less frequently and lower the cost per page. Manufactured under ISO 9001 quality standards, it offers the same text sharpness as the original with no compatibility surprises.

How much printing costs you

The advantage of the compatible is simple: same yield, much less money. You get the same 7,200 pages you'd expect from a cartridge of this capacity, but paying only a fraction of the price of the original. On a machine designed to print volume like the P2040 series, that saving per cartridge multiplies over the year.
