Frequently Asked Questions

What is the thinking behind a 10 pack of TK18?

One purchase order, one delivery, and toner handled for a long planning cycle. Facilities and purchasing staff use the 10 pack at $466.26 to lock in supply for a fleet of older Kyocera workgroup printers instead of reordering every few weeks.

Does one cartridge part number really serve the whole fleet?

Yes — that is the appeal of this generation of machines. The TK18 fits the FS-1018MFP, FS-1020D, FS-1118MFP, KM-1500, KM-1815, KM-1818 and KM-1820 alike, so a single stock item covers every printer on the list.

Will cartridges bought this far ahead still be usable later?

Stored sealed in a cool, dry room, toner cartridges hold up well over long periods. Rotate stock by arrival date, and each TK18 still delivers its rated 7,200 pages when its turn comes.

How does the warranty work across ten cartridges?

Every unit carries the same 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns, and a problem with one cartridge never affects the standing of the other nine. Support is available Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

Can the pack be divided between locations?

Absolutely. The cartridges are individually sealed, so you can send a few to each site and keep the rest centrally. If you would rather we ship to more than one address, ask before ordering and we will explain the options.

How does a bulk order ship?

From the closest of our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses. Our shipping and returns page has the delivery and returns details.

What is the per-cartridge cost in the 10 pack?

The pack is $466.26 for ten cartridges, which comes to $46.63 per TK18 in the one order. For a facilities budget that is the number that matters: one purchase order covers the fleet's toner at a fixed unit cost, instead of ten separate small orders at whatever urgency pricing and timing each empty would have forced.

How many pages does the full case represent?

Ten cartridges at 7,200 pages each make 72,000 pages at standard coverage across the fleet. That is the planning figure behind the annual-stocking logic of this pack — a long runway of printing for the FS- and KM-series machines on the list, drained one cartridge at a time, with dense graphics-heavy output pulling the real total below the headline number as it does on any cartridge.

What should I check when a case this size arrives?

Count the boxes and read the cartridge code on the labels before the case goes onto the shelf. Ten units is a lot to verify later from memory; a two-minute check on delivery day confirms the count is right and every box carries the TK18 designation your fleet uses. If anything looks off, that is the moment to raise it — long before the units are scattered across sites and stockrooms.

How do I spot one printer quietly using toner faster than the fleet average?

Compare stock counts against page counters on a regular rhythm — say, whenever a few cartridges have been drawn. If sealed units are disappearing faster than the counters across your FS-1018MFP, FS-1020D, KM-1815 and the rest can explain, one machine's page mix is denser than assumed, or one site is drawing stock for heavier work than planned. Either way, the count tells you to pull the next order forward before the shelf runs dry.
