The C86 comes with the STANDARD capacity black cartridge (T044120),
which is rated at 420 pages(5%). The C84 comes with the HIGH capacity
black cartridge (T043120), which is rated at 950 pages(5%).
You get more than twice as much (2.26x) black ink with the C84. This
extra black ink is worth at least $20, so the C84 is a much better
buy.
