Frequently Asked Questions
Which cartridges make up this set?
Three cartridges covering the three color codes of the family: TK542C cyan, TK542M magenta and TK542Y yellow. There is no black cartridge in the box — the black slot is covered by the separate TK542K listings, not by this set.
When does a three-color set make sense?
When the colors have aged together. Cartridges installed at the same time tend to fade in the same season, and a matched round of fresh cyan, magenta and yellow restores the color balance in one pass instead of chasing one washed-out color after another.
Do all three have to be installed together?
No. If only one color is actually empty, fit that one and keep the other two sealed — the set is a purchase bundle, not an instruction. The cartridges you hold back lose nothing by waiting in their packaging.
My black output is fine — can I change only the colors?
Yes. The color slots on the FS-C5100DN are independent of the black slot, so a colors-only refresh is a normal job: swap what is empty, leave the healthy black cartridge exactly where it is.
What is each cartridge in the set rated at?
Each of the three color cartridges is rated at 4,000 pages at standard coverage. Mixed office work — color on some pages, plain text on most — usually spreads that rating across many months.
What cover comes with these cartridges?
Each one carries a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns under our shipping & returns policy. Cover runs cartridge by cartridge, so a fault is handled on the individual unit concerned.
Will the three colors in this set run out at the same time?
Almost never exactly together. Each TK542C, TK542M and TK542Y cartridge is rated at 4,000 pages, but your documents decide how fast each one drains: a month of charts full of greens pulls hard on cyan and yellow, while magenta-heavy marketing pieces empty the magenta slot first. Expect one color to flag low ahead of the others, and treat that as normal — the set simply means all three replacements are already in the cupboard when their turns come.
What does a color page from this set work out to cost?
The set is $121.50 for three cartridges rated at 4,000 pages each — 12,000 rated color pages in total, which lands at roughly a cent a page at standard coverage. Dense, full-color pages carry more toner and cost more than that figure; a mostly-text document with a small color logo costs a fraction of it. The rating is the yardstick, and your own page mix moves the real number around it.
How can I check the delivery before anything goes into the printer?
Count three individually boxed cartridges and read the code on each one: TK542C for cyan, TK542M for magenta and TK542Y for yellow. The last letter is the color key, so a two-minute check at the door confirms the set is complete and correctly made up. If a code does not match one of the three, that is the moment to raise it — before a seal is broken and a slot is opened.
What should I do with the three empty cartridges once they are swapped out?
Slip each empty back into the packaging its replacement came out of — that keeps toner residue contained and the used units tidy. Empties can then go out through a local toner cartridge recycling or collection route rather than general office trash. Hold on to a cartridge that behaved oddly instead of recycling it straight away: each unit in this set is covered individually for a year, and having the cartridge itself on hand makes any question about it simple to settle.
A single round of the three colors — TK542C cyan, TK542M magenta and TK542Y yellow — at $121.50, for the moment when the whole color side of the printer has faded together and needs one coordinated refresh. Black is intentionally not included; this set assumes your TK542K supply is already in hand. It belongs to our compatible Kyocera-Mita range and ships from warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA; our team answers Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST if you would like the three codes checked against your printer before ordering.
