Buy a Kyocera TK-1164 toner for your ECOSYS P2040dn or P2040dw printer at CartridgesDirect. Choose from genuine Kyocera cartridges and compatible alternatives, with both options available in black and listed for up to 7,200 A4 pages. From everyday correspondence to invoices and reports, TK-1164 is the replacement toner for these two monochrome laser printers.
Genuine toner suits customers who prefer original Kyocera supplies, while compatible cartridges offer a lower-priced alternative. Having both options available lets you choose according to your office’s purchasing requirements and the amount you spend on replacement toner.
In-stock orders placed before 2 pm are usually dispatched the same business day. Free standard shipping is available on orders over $75 and our Australian-based customer support team can help you confirm the correct cartridge before purchasing.
Kyocera TK-1164 toner cartridges are compatible with the following printers:
- Kyocera ECOSYS P2040dn
- Kyocera ECOSYS P2040dw
Both models are A4 monochrome laser printers with automatic double-sided printing and speeds of up to 40 pages per minute. The P2040dn supports wired network printing, while the P2040dw also includes wireless connectivity. Despite that difference, both use the same black toner cartridge.
Whether you need Kyocera P2040dn toner or Kyocera P2040dw toner, choose the TK-1164 code. Check the full model number on your printer, particularly when ordering for a workplace with several similar-looking machines.
The ECOSYS P2235dn and P2235dw require Kyocera TK-1154 toner instead. TK-1164 is not a higher-capacity substitute for those models. If you are unsure which replacement to buy, use our Printer Cartridge Finder or ask our team to check the cartridge code.
Genuine TK-1164 toner cartridges are manufactured by Kyocera for the specified printers. They are a suitable choice for customers who prefer manufacturer-branded supplies or businesses whose purchasing policies require original consumables.
Our compatible TK-1164 option is manufactured by a third party for the P2040dn and P2040dw. It offers a lower purchase price, which can make a difference when your printer needs several replacements throughout the year.
For an office placing regular supplies orders, the choice often depends on both budget and internal requirements. Some workplaces specify genuine toner across all printers, while others allow compatible alternatives. Confirming those requirements before buying helps avoid unnecessary returns or changes to an order.
Both options are listed at up to 7,200 pages, but the same stated yield does not mean the cartridges are identical in construction or performance. Check each product’s specifications and applicable warranty or return terms alongside its price.
The genuine Kyocera TK-1164 toner cartridge is rated for up to 7,200 A4 pages in accordance with ISO/IEC 19752. The compatible option is also listed at up to 7,200 pages. This gives you a useful reference when comparing cartridges and planning your next purchase.
Actual output depends on what you print and your printing conditions. Simple letters and invoices generally use less toner than documents containing large graphics, shaded tables or dense text. An office printing mostly short correspondence may therefore replace toner less frequently than one producing detailed reports.
To estimate toner cost per page, divide the cartridge price by its stated yield. Use the same calculation for genuine and compatible products to compare their listed price and capacity. The result covers toner only, with paper, electricity and printer maintenance remaining separate costs.
If you regularly purchase Toner Cartridges, keeping a record of the pages printed between replacements can make future budgeting more accurate. It also gives you a practical guide to when another cartridge is likely to be needed.
A shared printer’s workload can change from week to week. Routine correspondence may use relatively little toner, while month-end invoicing or a large reporting job can increase consumption. Check the remaining toner before a busy period rather than waiting until the machine stops printing.
Keeping one spare TK-1164 cartridge can help reduce interruptions when the installed toner runs out. Choose the same genuine or compatible option your workplace has approved and keep the replacement clearly labelled for the P2040dn or P2040dw.
Store spare cartridges in their original sealed packaging and follow the storage instructions supplied with the product. A dry location away from excessive heat and direct sunlight helps keep your supplies ready until they are needed.
The P2040dn and P2040dw use a toner container that is separate from the drum assembly. During a routine toner replacement, the drum remains in the printer. An empty TK-1164 container does not mean that both parts need replacing.
The drum has separate maintenance requirements. Follow the printer’s messages and manufacturer guidance when another component needs attention rather than deciding based on how many toner cartridges you have used.
If streaks or faded output continue after installing replacement toner, consult the printer manual for troubleshooting steps. Cleaning or maintenance may be required, and ordering another toner cartridge may not resolve the issue.
CartridgesDirect has supplied printer consumables to Australian homes and businesses since 2006. Our range gives you a choice of genuine and compatible TK-1164 cartridges, with product details available to help you select the appropriate replacement.
Our Australian-based customer support team can assist with cartridge identification before you place an order. This is particularly useful when buying for an unfamiliar printer or organising supplies for several departments.
For other ECOSYS models, browse our Kyocera Toner Cartridges. If your workplace also uses other brands or inkjet machines, our Printer Cartridges range lets you find the appropriate supplies for those printers too.
Ordering the replacements you need together can make office purchasing easier. Match each cartridge to its printer model before checkout so the supplies arrive ready for the correct machine.
Check the available recycling arrangements before disposing of an empty toner container. Return methods and eligibility can differ between toner containers and ink cartridges, so the same postal instructions may not apply to both.
Visit our cartridge recycling page for current guidance. If you need help finding the appropriate return method for a TK-1164 container, contact our team before sending it.
Choose your genuine or compatible TK-1164 cartridge and add it to your basket. If you have a large print job approaching, allow time for delivery and consider whether you need a spare for the next replacement.
If you are also replacing an older machine or adding another printer to your workplace, explore our Kyocera Printers to view the available models. Our team can help confirm the appropriate consumables when you are organising supplies for a new printer.
