Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check that TK8309K is the number my machine uses?
Pull the cartridge that is in the printer now, or open the supply information on the panel — the part number printed on the cartridge label is what you match. If it reads TK8309K, this is the black cartridge built for the TASKalfa 3050ci. This listing is the two-cartridge pack, priced at $138.75.
Why take two cartridges in a single order?
So a toner-out message never turns into downtime. One cartridge goes straight into the machine and the second stays sealed on the shelf; when the first runs dry you swap in the spare on the spot and reorder at your leisure instead of in a panic.
What yield should I expect from each cartridge in the pack?
Each TK8309K cartridge carries a 15,000-page rating at standard test coverage. Day-to-day letters, invoices and reports land close to that figure; pages heavy with bold graphics, charts or solid fills will use toner faster and finish sooner.
Will the spare cartridge still be good if it sits for months?
Yes. Keep it in its sealed packaging, stored flat in a cool, dry spot away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Toner does not dry out the way liquid ink does, so a properly stored spare is ready whenever the installed cartridge gives out.
How involved is the swap when the first cartridge empties?
It is a couple of minutes of work with no tools. Open the front cover, slide the spent unit out, take the new cartridge from its bag, give it a gentle rock to loosen the toner, and push it in until it seats. Close the cover and the printer is back in service.
How does shipping work, and what if a cartridge misbehaves?
Orders leave from whichever of our warehouses in IL, PA, GA and CA is closest to you; transit times and the return procedure are spelled out on our shipping and returns page. Every cartridge is covered by a 1-year warranty with free returns for a full year, and our support team answers Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM CST.
What does the two-pack work out to per cartridge and per page?
At $138.75 for two, each TK8309K comes to $69.38, and two cartridges at 15,000 pages each give 30,000 rated pages — about 0.46 cents a page at the rating. Pages heavy with bold graphics or solid fills will land below the rating and light office documents above it, so treat the figure as a planning yardstick. The value of the pack is not only the arithmetic: the second cartridge is already on the shelf when the first one ends.
When exactly should I reorder — the day the spare goes in, or later?
The day the spare goes in. That is the clean trigger: a full cartridge is running in the machine while the next pack is on its way, so there is no rush and no gap. Waiting until the spare itself warns leaves no margin at all, and a busy week can turn a routine order into downtime.
How do I confirm the spare is good on the day I fit it?
Print a test page before the swap and one after, and compare the density. If the first pages after fitting look pale, take the cartridge out, rock it gently side to side to level the toner that settled in storage, seat it firmly and print again — that resolves it in most cases. If pages stay faint after a firm reseat, the cartridge is covered on its own by the 1-year warranty with free returns.
What do I do with the spent cartridge while the spare runs?
Set it aside until the spare has printed well for a day or two. That way, if anything about the new unit needs checking with support, the old cartridge is still there with its label and condition as evidence. Once the spare has proven itself, dispose of the spent unit under your office's local waste rules.
