The cost for MICR Toner cartridges will vary upon the model of the printer but will print a considerable number of checks because of the low utilization of toner per page of checks. For instance, the MICR Toner for an HP LaserJet 1100 sells for $40.00 to $50.00 with a normal page yield of roughly 2800 pages – that is around 8400 checks if it is a 3 Per Page Checks.
