Frequently Asked Questions

Which cartridges make up this three-color set?

The three color slots of the printer, one cartridge each: TK552C cyan, TK552M magenta and TK552Y yellow. There is no black cartridge in this set — the TK552K is a separate listing for a separate slot.

When does a color-only trio like this make sense?

When the three colors have aged together — as they often do — and are reaching the end around the same time, while the black still has plenty of life. Rather than ordering three singles on three different days, the set renews the whole color side in one order.

Must all three be fitted in the same session?

No. Fit the one the printer is asking for and keep the other two sealed. Colors rarely empty on the same day, and there is no advantage in retiring a cartridge early; the set simply means the replacements are already in the building when each turn comes.

Can I change the colors without touching the black?

Yes, completely. Each slot opens and swaps on its own. The black cartridge stays exactly where it is while you change any or all of the colors, and the printer carries on without any kind of reset ritual.

How many pages is each cartridge rated for?

6,000 pages at standard coverage, for each of the TK552C, TK552M and TK552Y. All three carry the same rating, so the color side of the printer is balanced again once they are in.

What warranty covers these cartridges?

Each one is covered on its own by a 1-year warranty with 1-year free returns — see our shipping & returns policy. If any single color disappoints inside the year, it is returned free and dealt with individually.

Two colors are low at the same time — which do I fit first?

The one that has actually run out, or the one whose absence is distorting your output most. Fit that cartridge, print a few pages, and then judge the second color again with fresh output in front of you — colors interact, so one renewal can change how weak the other looks. The third cartridge stays sealed until its own turn, exactly as the set intends.

Does renewing the colors change anything about my black cartridge?

No. Fitting the TK552C, TK552M and TK552Y leaves the black cartridge with precisely the life it had before you opened the printer. Renewing the color side neither extends nor shortens it, and no reset or shared procedure links the slots. The black, the TK552K, continues on its own schedule and gets replaced when its own turn comes, independently of this set.

Two cartridges will wait while the first is fitted — how do I keep them at their best?

Leave them sealed in their packaging, stored flat in a dry spot away from sunlight and heat. Because the three colors age together, the waiting pair will usually be called within a fairly short span, so the wait is measured in weeks rather than years. Sealed toner loses nothing over that time and is ready the moment its slot empties.

What do I do with each color cartridge as it comes out?

Slip it into the bag or box its replacement arrived in, which keeps the toner residue inside the shell and off the shelf, and set it aside for recycling. Three slots renewed over the life of this set means three empties; sending them out together when the last one is fitted is simpler than three separate trips and keeps the supply area clean.
