Sharp AL-204TD Black Toner Cartridge

The Sharp Black Toner Cartridge AL-204TD is a high-quality monochrome consumable designed for Sharp’s series of compact digital multifunctional printers. It is specifically engineered to provide consistent, sharp text and clear images for small office environments.

Manufacturer Mindset: "Small Office Precision"

Sharp developed the AL-204TD with a focus on space-saving reliability. For small businesses and home offices, the goal is to have a copier that works every time without the complexity of larger industrial machines. Sharp’s mindset was to provide a high-yield cartridge that ensures the printer's internal components, such as the drum and fuser, stay clean and operational for longer, reducing the total cost of ownership for the user.

Technical Specifications & Economic Impact

1. Page Yield: Delivers approximately 6,000 pages (at 5% coverage), which is ideal for low-to-medium volume daily printing.
2. Micro-Fine Toner: Uses a specialized formula to ensure crisp black text, making it perfect for invoices, contracts, and professional correspondence.
3. Energy Efficient: The toner is designed to melt at a specific temperature to support the printer's quick-start technology, helping you save on Band A electricity costs.
4. Authentic Compatibility: Designed to work in perfect synchronization with the AL-series hardware to prevent toner dusting and mechanical wear.

Compatibility: The AL-Series Workhorses

The AL-204TD is the required toner for several popular compact Sharp models:

How it Fares Against Other Sharp Toners

When selecting toner on Kara.com.ng, ensure you are matching the cartridge to your specific series (AL vs. AR/MX).

Strategic Recommendation:

The AL-204TD is the best choice for those using Sharp's smaller, desktop-sized copiers. Using the original cartridge is vital for these smaller machines to avoid the "toner spill" issues often found in generic alternatives.
