90k is what they rate it given 5% coverage... Even if you've average is only 15% coverage, which is NOT that high at all, you'll only get 30k.

If there is no background and no overtoning AND your waste container isn't filling up too fast, obviously the toner has to be going on to the paper. And if you say the prints look good, that means everything is as it should be and your average coverage is just higher than you realize.

The 5% figure is useful ONLY as a frame of reference. Almost no prints work out to that. A full page of plain text, no graphics of any kind, is going to be between 10%-15%, even.
