|---|---|---|---|
| Black Toner (standard) | Canon 057 (3009C001) | ~3,100 pages | Compatible, $69.95 |
| Black Toner (high-capacity) | Canon 057H (3010C001) | ~10,000 pages | Compatible, $99.95 |
Yields are Canon's ISO/IEC figures, and 4inkjets and Ink Technologies list the same 3,100 and 10,000 pages for the MF448dw. Our cartridges are newly manufactured compatibles.
What Does MF448dw Toner Cost per Page?
About 1¢ per page with our 057H. Canon's original 057H is about $235 (2.4¢ a page) and the original 057 about $159 for 3,100 pages, so the compatible high-capacity cartridge is the clear choice.
How to Replace the Toner
- Open the front cover.
- Pull the old cartridge straight out by its handle.
- Unbox the new cartridge, rock it gently, and remove the sealing tape.
- Slide it in until it seats and close the cover.

What imageCLASS MF448dw owners ask
These come from owner reviews of the MF440 series at Amazon and Best Buy, PCMag's MF445dw review and supply-site data, answered in our words.
Is the MF448dw different from the MF445dw?
Same 40-page-per-minute engine, 5 in. touchscreen and 057 toner; the MF448dw was a mid-series retail version. Our MF445dw guide applies in full.
Why does it lose Wi-Fi after sleeping?
The series' most common complaint. Reserve an IP address for it on the router or use Ethernet.
Will compatible toner work?
Yes. Our 057 and 057H carry working chips; any cartridge the printer refuses is replaced under our 1-year guarantee.
How long does a 057H really last?
Canon's 10,000 pages assumes 5% coverage. Dense documents will cut that, but owners generally report several months between changes in a small office.
Does it scan two-sided?
Yes, through the 50-sheet single-pass document feeder, and it prints two-sided automatically.
imageCLASS MF448dw quirks worth knowing
- 250-sheet cassette plus a 100-sheet multipurpose tray, with an optional 550-sheet cassette.
- Fax and scan-to-email, USB and cloud are built into the touchscreen.
- Canon's current MF455dw and MF465dw take the same 057 toner.
