What toner and drum does the Lexmark E260 need, plus 8 compatible models

Looking for toner for your Lexmark E260, E360 or E460? This whole family of monochrome laser printers uses the same two-part system: the Lexmark E260A toner cartridge and the E260X22G drum (photoconductor). Our compatible toner yields 3,500 ISO pages with the same print quality as the original, and costs a fraction of its price. See the compatible E260A toner.

Is it compatible with your printer?

The E260A toner and the E260X22G drum are the consumables fitted by all the models of Lexmark's E260, E360 and E460 series. The letters in the name only indicate the equipment of each machine, they don't change the consumable: d = duplex (automatic double-sided printing), n = Ethernet network connection, w = wifi and t = additional paper tray or feeder. If you have any of these models, this is your toner:

• Lexmark E260
• Lexmark E260d
• Lexmark E260dn
• Lexmark E360d
• Lexmark E360dn
• Lexmark E460dn
• Lexmark E460dtn
• Lexmark E460dw
• Lexmark E462dtn

It doesn't matter whether your machine has network, wifi or an extra tray: the toner and the drum are identical in all of them. If you're not sure of the exact model you have, use our printer finder to confirm it in a second.

The consumable you need and what it yields

These Lexmark machines work with two separate parts, and it's worth not confusing them:

• The E260A toner is the part that contains the print powder and the one you use up more often. Our compatible version yields 3,500 pages measured according to the ISO/IEC 19752 standard (the yield standard for monochrome laser toner with 5% coverage). It's manufactured under ISO 9001. See the compatible E260A toner · E260A toner guide.
• The E260X22G drum (D260A) is the photoconductor, the image unit that transfers the toner to the paper. It lasts much longer: 30,000 pages. That is, one drum lasts you the equivalent of several toner cartridges in a row, so you'll only change it when the printer warns you or you notice a loss of quality. See the compatible E260X22G drum.

The practical rule is simple: change the toner when the printing runs out, and the drum much less often. If you want to understand the difference between the two properly and when each is due, we explain it in this toner vs. drum guide.

How much printing costs you

Over a high print volume, like the one these office Lexmark machines usually handle, the accumulated saving over the year is considerable without giving up quality or reliability.

Frequently asked questions

Is this toner compatible with my exact Lexmark?

Yes. The E260A toner and the E260X22G drum are compatible with the complete E260, E360 and E460 series: E260, E260d, E260dn, E360d, E360dn, E460dn, E460dtn, E460dw and E462dtn. The variants with d, n, w or t share exactly the same consumable.

How many pages does it print?

The compatible E260A toner yields 3,500 pages according to the ISO/IEC 19752 standard (5% coverage). The E260X22G drum reaches 30,000 pages, so it lasts the equivalent of several toner cartridges before you have to replace it.

3-year Startoner consumable warranty

No. Using compatible consumables does not void your machine's warranty. Article 120 of RDL 1/2007 (the General Law for the Defence of Consumers and Users) protects your right to use third-party replacements; the manufacturer could only reject a claim if it proves that that consumable directly caused the fault, something that does not happen with a toner manufactured under quality standards. Check the details on our warranty page.

How long does shipping take?

This way you have your toner or your drum ready to keep printing without stopping the office. The estimated delivery date and cost are shown at checkout before payment.
