Frequently Asked Questions

What does the eight-cartridge set give us?

Deep stock across all four TK5152 codes — TK5152K black, TK5152C cyan, TK5152M magenta and TK5152Y yellow — at $152.28 for the set. The per-color quantities are printed on the carton labels; the set is built for breadth across the family, so the next empty slot, whichever it is, most likely already has its replacement in the building.

Who is an eight-pack the sensible buy for?

A busy office, a small fleet of machines on the same cartridge family, or anyone whose supply orders are infrequent and planned. Eight cartridges turn toner from a recurring errand into a quarterly non-event for the M6035cidn and M6535cidn.

Are the cartridges full capacity at this quantity?

Yes — every unit is the standard cartridge with its standard rating: 12,000 pages for the TK5152K black and 10,000 pages for each of the TK5152C, TK5152M and TK5152Y colors, at standard coverage. Buying in depth does not buy a smaller fill.

How should eight cartridges be rotated?

By arrival order within each color: oldest sealed unit first. Keep them flat, sealed and away from heat and sunlight, and note the fitting date on the box as each one goes in — the log that builds up is your real consumption rate, color by color.

What if one cartridge out of eight proves faulty?

It stands on its own. That unit is returned under its cover while the other seven stay in stock or in service; a bulk order never has to be unwound for a single bad cartridge.

Does buying eight change the warranty or returns terms?

No. Each cartridge carries a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns, exactly as it would bought singly — the terms are on our shipping & returns page, and quantity changes nothing about them.

Eight boxes is a lot of shelf — how do we keep them organized?

Group by code, not by arrival. Four stacks or a labeled shelf row — TK5152K, TK5152C, TK5152M, TK5152Y — makes the sealed count per color readable at a glance, which is the number that drives reordering. Keep the cartons flat, sealed and away from heat and sunlight, and draw each color's oldest box first. With eight in play, the system matters more than the space.

Can the eight be split between two sites or floors?

Yes. The cartridges are independent sealed units, so the set can be divided — a working stock per color at the main site and a smaller reserve where the second M6035cidn or M6535cidn sits. Just keep a simple note of what went where; a set this size is easy to over-count from memory, and a site that believes it holds a spare it already used is worse off than one that never stocked.

When does an eight-pack office actually reorder?

By sealed count per color, not by the total in the cupboard. Eight cartridges across four codes can hide a thin spot — plenty of yellow, no black. When a color's last sealed box goes into a machine, that color is on order, and you still have that cartridge's full 12,000- or 10,000-page run as your delivery window. Reorder by color and the deep stock never surprises you.

How do the empties leave the building at this volume?

In a steady trickle rather than a pile. Each spent unit goes into its replacement's carton and into one designated collection box; when that box fills, it goes out through an electronics or office-supply recycling route. Keep a faulty cartridge out of the collection box — it travels back alone under its own 1-year warranty, and mixing it into recycling would throw away that cover.
