£77.04 inc. VAT
AI-generated summary
The Canon 046 original black toner at £64.08 ex‑VAT is one of those “works out of the box” buys. If you’re running a compatible Canon laser in a busy office, genuine toner is usually the lowest-drama option: consistent print quality, fewer headaches with streaking/low-quality prints, and better predictability over time than compatible alternatives. For teams that print regularly and rely on documents staying sharp (reports, invoices, internal comms), it’s easy to justify.
That said, it’s not automatically the best value if you’re price-sensitive or print lightly. Toner is where the costs sneak up, and at this level you’ll want to compare against a compatible cartridge’s page yield and track record in your specific printer model. If you’ve had good results with non‑Canon toners before, this won’t feel like a bargain—just a “safe bet.” I’d recommend it for offices that can’t afford weird print quality or downtime, and I’d be cautious for low-volume setups or anyone chasing the absolute lowest cost per page.
