Abstract A toner cartridge for an electrophotographic image forming device according to one example embodiment includes a housing having a reservoir for storing toner. An outlet port is positioned on the housing for transferring toner out of the toner cartridge. A venting system includes a first vent positioned to introduce air from outside the housing into the reservoir and a second vent positioned to introduce air received at the outlet port into the reservoir. The venting system maintains an air pressure in the reservoir at the greater of a pressure of the air from outside the housing and the air received at the outlet port.
