Canon 057 / 057H Toner at a Glance
| Consumable | Part Number | Page Yield | Castle Ink option |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 for the MF440 series. The 057H uses the same slot and holds more than three times the toner, so it's the one to buy. Our cartridges are newly manufactured compatibles.
What Does MF449dw Toner Cost per Page?
About 1¢ per page with our 057H. Canon's own 057H sells for roughly $235, about 2.4¢ a page, and the original 057 is worse value at about $159 for 3,100 pages.
How to Replace the Toner
- Open the front cover.
- Pull the old cartridge straight out by its handle.
- Unbox the new 057 or 057H, rock it gently, and remove the sealing tape.
- Slide it in until it seats and close the cover.
Which Other Printers Use Canon 057?
The imageCLASS MF445dw, MF448dw, MF455dw, LBP226dw, LBP227dw and LBP228dw.
What imageCLASS MF449dw owners ask
These come from owner reviews of the MF440 series at Amazon and Best Buy, PCMag's MF445dw review and Canon's supply listings, answered in our words.
How is the MF449dw different from the MF445dw and MF448dw?
Same 40-page-per-minute engine, same 5 in. touchscreen, same 057 toner. The MF449dw was the top model of the series, adding NFC tap-to-print; everything in our MF445dw guide applies.
Why does it drop off Wi-Fi?
The most common complaint on the series, usually after sleep. Give it a reserved IP address on the router, or use the Ethernet port.
Will compatible toner work?
Yes. Canon's 057 cartridges are chipped and our compatibles carry a working chip; if one is ever refused we replace it under our 1-year guarantee.
Is there a separate drum?
No. The drum is inside the 057/057H cartridge.
Does it scan two-sided?
Yes. The 50-sheet document feeder scans both sides in one pass, and the printer prints two-sided automatically.
imageCLASS MF449dw quirks worth knowing
- It has a 250-sheet cassette plus a 100-sheet multipurpose tray, and takes an optional 550-sheet cassette.
- Fax is built in, along with scan-to-email, USB and cloud services from the touchscreen.
- Canon's newer MF455dw and MF465dw use the same 057 toner, so spares carry over if you upgrade.
