Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the 3 pack sized for?

Offices that go through a cartridge every month or two and want a quarter's worth of toner on hand without a standing order. Three TK18 cartridges at $152.82 keeps one machine fed — or a couple of light-use machines — for a good stretch.

How should I rotate through three cartridges?

Use them oldest first. Write the arrival month on each box when the pack lands, store the boxes sealed in a cool, dry spot, and pull from the front of the shelf so nothing sits forgotten at the back.

Which models does this pack fit?

Every cartridge in the pack is a TK18 for the FS-1018MFP, FS-1020D, FS-1118MFP, KM-1500, KM-1815, KM-1818 and KM-1820. One part number covers all seven models, which keeps shared supply shelves simple.

Is the 7,200-page rating per cartridge or for the whole pack?

Per cartridge. Each TK18 is independently rated at 7,200 pages under standard coverage, so your real-world total depends on how dense your pages are.

What happens if the last cartridge in the pack is faulty?

It is still protected: a 1-year warranty and 1-year free returns apply to every unit in the pack, and support is reachable Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.

How is a 3 pack delivered?

It ships from whichever of our IL, PA, GA and CA warehouses is closest to you. See our shipping and returns page for timing and return steps.

What is the per-cartridge cost inside the 3 pack?

The pack is $152.82 for three cartridges, which works out to $50.94 per TK18 in a single order. Set against the pack's job — a quarter's worth of toner on hand without a standing order — that unit figure is the one to budget by: three cartridges, three predictable costs, no per-emergency ordering in between.

What is the pack's total page pool?

Three cartridges at 7,200 pages each give the pack a combined 21,600 pages at standard coverage. Whether that pool feeds one machine for a long stretch or a couple of light-use printers between them, it drains one cartridge at a time — and how dense your pages are decides how close the real total lands to that figure.

How can the printer's page counter tell me what the pack is really delivering?

Note the counter reading each time you fit a fresh cartridge from the pack. The pages printed between two swaps is that cartridge's real life under your coverage — a more honest number than the rating for planning. Multiply it by the sealed cartridges still on the shelf and you have a realistic estimate of the printing left in the pack, instead of a guess built on the box figure.

What do I do with the empties as the pack works down?

Box each spent cartridge as it comes out, in the packaging its replacement arrived in, so loose toner stays contained and the empties do not pile up loose in a cabinet. If one unit printed poorly, keep that one set apart from the routine empties rather than mixing it in — it is the cartridge support would ask about. The rest can go out together through your local route for spent toner cartridges whenever the box is full.
