Kyocera P2040dn/P2040dw: TK-1160 toner
UpdatedFor Kyocera ECOSYS P2040dn and P2040dw printers sold in Spain, Kyocera identifies original black TK-1160 toner. Its TK-1160 product page declares about 7,200 pages for the replacement toner and 3,600 for the starter supply. Startoner lists SKU ST-KYOCERA-TK1160 for both models, but its listing is not independent evidence of cartridge yield or recognition.
Is it compatible with your printer?
Kyocera names precisely P2040dn and P2040dw on the original TK-1160 product page. Startoner currently names the same two models for SKU ST-KYOCERA-TK1160. The latter is the seller’s compatibility declaration, not Kyocera approval of an alternative or a promise of recognition in every device configuration.

The consumable you need and what it yields
Kyocera declares about 7,200 pages for the original replacement TK-1160 under ISO/IEC 19752; the starter toner supplied with the printer has a separate figure of about 3,600 pages. Startoner advertises 7,200 for its product. Keep those sources distinct rather than presenting the seller’s figure as independent testing of each cartridge.
How much printing costs you
To estimate cost per page, divide the current price of the chosen cartridge by the yield declared for that exact product, treating tax and delivery consistently. Actual use changes the result. Check the SKU and price on the Startoner listing, delivery at checkout and return terms; arithmetic does not guarantee savings.
Startoner’s published policy states a three-year legal conformity term for the purchased consumable. It does not extend the printer manufacturer’s warranty. Check the current policy conditions.

Frequently asked questions
Which original toner does Kyocera specify for P2040dn and P2040dw?
Kyocera’s TK-1160 product page identifies TK-1160 as original black toner for ECOSYS P2040dn and P2040dw. Do not extend that reference to other ECOSYS models merely because their names look similar. Startoner separately lists both exact models for SKU ST-KYOCERA-TK1160, but that seller declaration is not a Kyocera certification of the alternative.
Does the 7,200-page figure prove Startoner cartridge yield?
No. Kyocera declares approximately 7,200 pages for its original replacement TK-1160 under ISO/IEC 19752 and about 3,600 for the starter supply. Startoner advertises 7,200 pages for its own SKU, but the reviewed listing does not provide independent testing of the unit you will receive. Coverage and document type affect actual output.
What should I check before buying the alternative?
Check that your printer is a P2040dn or P2040dw and that the chosen product displays SKU ST-KYOCERA-TK1160. Review the current price, delivery estimate and seller return terms. If the printer shows a warning, record its exact wording and consult model-specific help before blaming the toner or assuming a particular chip failure.
