Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a black cartridge in this set?
No — and that is the point of it. This box holds the three color cartridges only: TK5197C in cyan, TK5197M in magenta and TK5197Y in yellow. It is the color-side refill for a TASKalfa 306ci whose black station is still healthy, so you are not paying to replace a cartridge that does not need replacing.
Why would the three colors be renewed together?
Color cartridges age as a team. They were usually fitted together, they feed the same color pages, and when one is nearly out the other two are rarely far behind. Renewing all three in one pass resets the whole color balance, so photos and graphics stop drifting before the next color fades mid-job.
What yield does each color carry?
Each of the three — TK5197C, TK5197M and TK5197Y — is rated at 7,000 pages on the standard test basis. That is the rating per cartridge; coverage-heavy work like full-page flyers will land lower, light accent color in documents higher.
Must all three go in on the same day?
Not at all. Every cartridge is sealed on its own. Fit the color the machine is calling for today and keep the other two boxed until their turn. Nothing in the set goes off by sitting sealed in a cupboard for a few weeks or months.
What should I check on the first color pages afterwards?
Run a color test page and look for even, saturated bands in each color with no streaks or pale edges. If one band looks weak, lift that cartridge out, rock it gently side to side to level the toner, and seat it again firmly before judging it.
What cover does the set carry?
All three cartridges are backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, unit by unit. Questions or problems are handled by our support team, Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
Our color work is mostly full-page flyers. What does that do to the 7,000-page rating?
The 7,000-page figure for each of TK5197C, TK5197M and TK5197Y is a standard test rating, and full-page flyers sit at the heavy end of coverage — every sheet lays color edge to edge. Expect each cartridge to land below its rating on that kind of work. Documents carrying only a color logo or a chart sit at the light end and can run past it. Judge the set's lifespan by your heaviest regular job, not your lightest.
Where should the set wait until each color is called for?
In its boxes, sealed, in a cupboard. Each cartridge in this set is sealed on its own, and nothing in it goes off by sitting boxed for a few weeks or months while the other colors do the work. Open a cartridge only when the machine calls for that color — the unbroken seal is what keeps the toner settled, protected and ready for the day its station asks.
How do I make sure the three colors in the box are the right ones?
Read the carton labels before anything goes into the machine. This set should hold exactly three codes: TK5197C for cyan, TK5197M for magenta and TK5197Y for yellow, with no black cartridge among them. The letter at the end of each TK-5197 code is the color marker, so a two-minute check of the three labels confirms the set matches your TASKalfa 306ci before the first swap is made.
What do I do with the three cartridges I take out?
Slip each empty back into the box its replacement came out of, as you fit the new one. That keeps three loose cartridges from rolling around a drawer, and it keeps their codes visible if you ever need to check what was fitted. Boxed that way, the empties can go out together through your usual toner recycling collection instead of into general waste — one trip rather than three.
