SuppliesMax Lexmark C5242KH Black High Yield Toner Cartridge 8000 Pages

What this cartridge is and who it fits

SuppliesMax Lexmark C5242KH is a new aftermarket black toner cartridge rated for 8000 pages at .05 coverage. It replaces Lexmark C5242KH, C5240KH, C5246KH and C524H3KG originals in the C524, C532 and C534 colour laser series. Offices and home users who print high volumes on those models get a direct drop-in replacement. Buyers with printers outside the listed Lexmark series cannot use this cartridge.

How it fits into a printer setup

The cartridge installs in supported 110V Lexmark machines sold in the U.S. without tools or firmware changes. It occupies the standard black toner slot and works alongside the existing colour cartridges, so no extra hardware or adapter is required. Manufacturing in ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certified facilities ensures the physical dimensions match the OEM design. Printers that need a different voltage or a non-Lexmark engine will not accept this unit.

Behaviour during long print runs

Built with new and recycled components to OEM specifications, the toner maintains crisp black output and consistent density across the full 8000-page yield. The 30-day manufacturer warranty covers defects that appear under sustained high-volume use rather than only on the first few pages. Colour contrast remains stable throughout the cartridge life. Users who exceed the rated yield or run the printer continuously beyond normal duty cycles may see performance drop off earlier.
