Frequently Asked Questions

Which cartridges make up this set?

Three color cartridges: TK8327C in cyan, TK8327M in magenta and TK8327Y in yellow. Black is deliberately not in the box — this is the color-side refill, for a machine whose black cartridge still has plenty of life in it.

Why are the three colors renewed as a group?

They were almost certainly fitted on the same day and they feed the same color pages, so they wear down together. Replacing only the first one to fade leaves the next color to give out a few weeks later; a full set resets the color balance in one pass and keeps charts, photos and logos honest.

What yield does each color carry?

TK8327C, TK8327M and TK8327Y are each rated at 12,000 pages on the standard test basis. That rating is per cartridge: full-bleed color flyers will use it up faster, documents with a color header and a chart or two much more slowly.

Can I fit one color now and hold the others back?

Yes. Each cartridge is sealed on its own, so you can fit just the color the machine is asking for and keep the remaining two boxed. They will wait in a cupboard without losing anything until their turn comes.

What should the first color pages look like after fitting?

Print a color test page and check for clean, even bands in cyan, magenta and yellow with no streaking or washed-out edges. A weak band usually just means that cartridge needs lifting out, a gentle side-to-side rock to level the toner, and a firm reseat.

What protection does the set carry?

Every cartridge in the set is backed by a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, assessed unit by unit. If you run into trouble, our support team answers Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

What is the per-cartridge cost inside this three-color set?

The set is $236.61 for three cartridges, which works out at about $78.87 for each of the TK8327C, TK8327M and TK8327Y. Each color is rated at 12,000 pages on the standard test basis, so the set represents 36,000 rated color pages in one order. Full-bleed flyers will draw that down faster and ordinary documents with a chart or two much more slowly, but the per-cartridge figure is the handy one for comparing this set against buying the colors one at a time.

Two of the three colors are fading in the same week. Should I fit both together?

Yes — fit whichever colors the machine is calling for, whenever it calls for them. If cyan and magenta are both at the end in the same week, swapping both in one session is perfectly sensible and saves opening the machine twice. The third color stays sealed in its packaging until its own turn comes. There is no sequence the printer expects; each slot is handled on its own level and its own schedule.

While I have the machine open for the colors, is there anything else worth checking?

Glance at the black level on the display. This set deliberately excludes black, and the black cartridge does the heaviest work in most offices, so a color refresh is a good moment to confirm the black is not about to become the next interruption. If it is reading low, ordering a black at the same time is cheaper in hassle than a second delivery a week later. The check takes seconds and needs no tools.

What do I do with the three empty color cartridges?

Hold each one until its replacement has printed a clean test page with even color bands. After that, the three empties can go out together through a local recycling route or an office-supplies collection point. Since the colors tend to be renewed in the same season, collecting them for one recycling trip is practical; just do not keep them indefinitely once the new set has proven itself, and avoid landfill waste where a recycling option exists.
