Managing supplies For warranty information about these supplies, see Print Cartridge Limited Warranty Statement. Supplies life The life of a print cartridge depends on the amount of toner that print jobs require. When printing text at approximately 5% coverage, a cyan, magenta, or yellow print cartridge for the HP Color LaserJet 2605 series printers lasts an average of 2,000 pages, and a black print cartridge lasts an average of 2,500 pages. A typical business letter has 5% coverage.
